Results of AGM and Directorate Change

Summary by AI BETAClose X

Supply@ME Capital plc announced the results of its Annual General Meeting, where most resolutions passed, with the exception of resolutions 2, 5, 8, and 9. Notably, resolution 5 concerning the re-appointment of Alessandro Zamboni as an Executive Director failed to pass with 54.58% voting against it. Despite this, the Independent Non-Executive Directors re-appointed Mr. Zamboni due to his foundational role, business relationships crucial for the Inventory Monetisation platform, the need for executive representation on the board, and contractual obligations, including a requirement to remain CEO until the repayment of a US$5.15 million facility with Nuburu Inc. Resolutions 8 and 9, related to disapplying pre-emption rights and calling general meetings, also failed.

*A vote withhold is not a vote in law and is not counted for the purposes of the calculation of the proportion of votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.

The results will also shortly be also available on the Company's website by following the link below: https://www.supplymecapital.com/shareholder-meetings/

The Company notes that Resolution 2 was not passed, however this vote was advisory in nature only.

The Company notes that Resolutions 8 and 9 were not passed and will ensure that actions are not taken that contradict the subject of these specific resolutions.

As Resolution 5 was not passed Mr. Alessandro Zamboni was not re-elected as an Executive Director of the Company. However, following the AGM, a board meeting was held where it was resolved by the Independent Non-Executive Directors (the "INEDs") that Mr. Alessandro Zamboni should be re-appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") as an Executive Director with immediate effect. The Board also resolved that will ask the shareholders to again vote on re-appointing Mr. Alessandro Zamboni as an Executive Director at the next Annual General Meeting of the Company.

In assessing the decision to re-appoint Mr. Alessandro Zamboni, the Independent Non-Executive Directors of the Company considered that the permanent removal of Mr. Alessandro Zamboni as an Executive Director of the Company would have a detrimental impact on the Company's business and therefore would not be in the best interests of the shareholders and other stakeholders as a whole due to the following factors:

a)    Mr. Alessandro Zamboni is the founder of the Group and the business relationships and contacts that he has have been important in finalising the IM transactions that have been facilitated to date using the Group's IM Platform. Without these business relationships, it will be difficult for the business to continue to execute its business plan in the short to medium term;

 

b)    Prior to the AGM, Mr. Alessandro Zamboni was the only Executive Director on the Board. As a consequence of Resolution 5 not being passed, the Board consisted only of the INEDs. The INEDs did not consider this to be an appropriate governance for a listed entity which, following best practice, should contain a mixture of executive and non-executive directors;

 

c)     Mr. Alessandro Zamboni's current service agreement does not permit him to carry on his role as the CEO of the Group without also being an Executive Director on the Board;

 

d)    Mr. Alessandro Zamboni remains the sole director of the Group's wholly owned Italian subsidiaries and as such the INEDs believe it is important that he is also an Executive Director of the Company; and

 

e)     As set out in the Company's announcement dated 19 March 2025, in connection with the on-demand convertible funding facility agreed with Nuburu Inc. on 18 March 2025, the Company also entered into a heads of terms agreement with Nuburu Inc. which was legally binding in respect of a number of matters, including the requirement that Mr. Alessandro Zamboni will remain as Chief Executive Officer of the Company until the date falling six months following the full repayment of the US$5.15 million on-demand convertible funding facility agreed with Nuburu Inc.

Notes

SYME and its operating subsidiaries provide its Platform for use by manufacturing and trading companies to access inventory trade solutions enabling their businesses to generate cashflow, via a non-credit approach and without incurring debt. This is achieved by their existing eligible inventory being added to the Platform and then monetised via purchase by third party Inventory Funders. The inventory to be monetised can include warehouse goods waiting to be sold to end-customers or goods/commodities that are part of a typical import/export transaction.
