AGENDA
- SPECIAL RESOLUTION: The following special resolution will be put to the meeting; as a special resolution this requires a 75% majority: “ It is hereby resolved that the right of pre-emption created by section 561 Companies Act 2006 in respect of the issuance of new shares in the company is hereby disapplied to the extent that the directors for the time being of the company are authorized from the date of this resolution to issue and allot up to 250,000 new ordinary 50p shares in the company. The authority granted by this resolution will expire 21 days prior to the next AGM or EGM of the company, or on 31st January 2027, whichever shall be sooner”.
EXPLANATORY NOTE:
By law (section 561 Companies Act 2006) if a private limited company wishes to issue and allot new shares, it must first offer those shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings. This is known as a RIGHT OF PRE-EMPTION.
Under section 569 of the Companies Act 2006, the right of pre emption can be waived by a special resolution of shareholders, on such terms as the shareholders see fit.
The company has, since the last AGM, received approaches to buy very small numbers of shares, amounting in total to less than 40,000 shares (I e less than 0.8% of the total authorised shareholding in the club of 5,000,000 shares). It is anticipated that further such small share purchases may be requested before the next AGM.
The purpose of this resolution is to authorise the board to issue such small share purchases up to a combined total of 250,000 shares, which equates to 5% of the total authorised share capital. This authority will be time limited as stated above. Any larger share transaction will require a further EGM.
