As at the date of the General Meeting, the Company's issued share capital comprised 160,724,100 Existing Ordinary Shares of 1 pence each, each carrying one vote. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury.
In accordance with UKLR 13.3.9R, a copy of the Resolutions passed at the General Meeting will shortly be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism.
Capital Reorganisation
Following the passing of Resolutions 1 and 2, the Company is able to implement the Capital Reorganisation. The Record Date and the effective date for the Capital Reorganisation have not yet been determined. Under the Capital Reorganisation, every 100 Existing Ordinary Shares will be replaced by one Consolidated Ordinary Share of 1 pence and 100 Deferred Shares of 0.99 pence each.
Immediately following the Capital Reorganisation, the Company will have 1,607,241 Consolidated Ordinary Shares and 160,724,100 Deferred Shares in issue. The Consolidated Ordinary Shares will carry the same rights as the Existing Ordinary Shares and will have the ISIN GB00BVLCTC60 and SEDOL BVLCTC6. The TIDM will remain as PRIS. The Deferred Shares will carry very limited rights, will not be listed or admitted to trading on any market and will not be transferable other than in accordance with the New Articles.
Shareholders holding fewer than 100 Existing Ordinary Shares at the Record Date will not be entitled to any Consolidated Ordinary Shares. Fractional entitlements arising from the Consolidation will be dealt with as set out in paragraph 7 of the Letter from the Chairman in the Circular, save that amounts of less than £3.00 will be retained by the Company.
Adoption of the New Articles
Following the passing of Resolution 4, the Company has adopted the New Articles, which set out the rights attaching to the Deferred Shares and include the provisions required by UKLR 13.2.1R. A copy of the New Articles will shortly be available on the Company's website at www.pristinecapitalplc.com.
Under the New Articles, if the Company has not completed an initial transaction by 30 July 2027 it will cease operations, subject to any extension of that period approved by its public shareholders, or otherwise permitted, in accordance with UKLR 13.2.1R.
Implementation of the Proposals and restoration of listing
Following the passing of the Resolutions, the Company can proceed with the Proposals, including the Subscription, the issue of the Investor CLN and the Creditor CLNs, the Settlement, the Capital Reorganisation and the changes to the Board, subject to satisfaction of the remaining conditions described in the Circular, including restoration of the listing.
The listing of, and trading in, the Company’s ordinary shares remain suspended. The Company is liaising with the FCA regarding the timing of the restoration of the listing and implementation of the Capital Reorganisation. Accordingly, the timing of Completion, the Subscription, the issue of the Investor CLN and the Creditor CLNs, the Capital Reorganisation, Admission and the related Board changes has not yet been determined.
The Company will provide further updates, including the Record Date and the timetable for implementation of the Proposals and restoration of trading, in due course.
