Publication of Circular to convene a General Meeting
The Company has today published a Circular to convene a General Meeting to propose resolutions to seek further authorities to allot new Ordinary Shares ("Shares") at a premium to net asset value and disapply pre-emption rights in respect of the issue of such new Shares.
The Circular sets out the Company's intention to call a General Meeting of Shareholders to be held at J.P. Morgan's offices, Finsbury Dials, 20 Finsbury Street, London EC2Y 9AQ at 12 noon on 10 May 2012 to consider and, if thought fit, approve 1) an ordinary resolution to grant the Company the authority to issue further Shares up to an amount equal to approximately 30 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company; and 2) a special resolution to disapply pre-emption rights on the allotment of Shares pursuant to the authority granted under 1. Any authority granted to the Directors will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company.
