The Company is unable to determine the circumstances leading to the filing of the special notice.

According to Section 322 of the Companies Act 2016 where special notice is required of a resolution under any provision of the Companies Act 2016, the resolution shall not be effective unless notice of intention to move it has been given to the Company at least 28 days before the meeting at which it is moved. Given that the notice is dated 25 May 2021 and the date of the EGM is on 20 June 2021, the solicitors are of the opinion that the special notice is invalid due to insufficient notice period.

This announcement is dated 31 May 2021.
