Rambler Reports Posting of Annual Report, Accounts and Notice of AGM
London, England; Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada - Rambler Metals and Mining Plc (AIM: RMM) ("Rambler" or the "Company"), a copper and gold producer, explorer, and developer, is pleased to announce that the annual report and accounts for the year ending 31 December 2020, including the Notice of Annual General Meeting ("AGM") and Forms of Proxy, will be posted to shareholders today and are available on the website at www.ramblermines.com
Notice of AGM and meeting arrangements
The AGM will be held at the offices of SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP, Prince Frederick House, 35-39 Maddox Street, London, W1S 2PP at 12:00 p.m. UK time on 26 May 2021 however due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Company intends to hold the meeting with a limited number of company representatives attending in person to ensure that a valid meeting is held. Other shareholders are strongly encouraged not to attend the AGM in person while government restrictions remain in force. Shareholders and guests who travel to the meeting may not be admitted if there are safety constraints.
Given the constantly evolving nature of the situation, if it subsequently becomes possible to welcome a number of shareholders to the venue, attendance in this way is likely to be restricted in terms of numbers and we would therefore still encourage shareholders not to attend the venue in person and instead to participate in the meeting electronically. Any updates to the position will be included on the Company's website and through a Regulatory Information Service. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit their votes by proxy as soon as possible, appointing the Chairman of the AGM as their proxy, so that their votes can be taken into account.
Shareholders wishing to raise any questions relating to the business of the AGM are encouraged to do so by submitting them to zoom@ramblermines.com by no later than 24 May 2021. The Company will publish responses to questions raised on the Company's website as soon as practicable after the AGM.
Share Consolidation
At the AGM, shareholders will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution to consolidate the Company's ordinary share capital whereby every 100 ordinary shares of 0.01 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Existing Ordinary Share") will be consolidated into one ordinary share of 1 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Consolidated Share"), rounded down to the nearest whole share ("Consolidation"). The Consolidation will reduce the 10,731,098,677 Existing Ordinary Shares currently in issue to 107,310,987 Consolidated Shares and is expected to further enhance the perception of the Company and its prospects and help improve the marketability of the Company's shares to a wider group of potential investors.
The Directors consider that having a more manageable number of shares in issue post Consolidation is in the best interests of the Company and will better allow it to progress its future growth and development objectives.
