The company’s shares will be converted to no par value shares. The constitution of the company will be repealed and a new constitution adopted subject to approval being obtained from the Stock Exchange of Mauritius.
All of the company’s 3,573,064 Preference Shares will be converted into 3,573,064 Ordinary shares. Following this conversion, the company will have a total of 29,172,500 Ordinary shares in issue.
Regulatory approval will be sought for the listing of the new 3,573,064 ordinary shares on the Official List of the Stock Exchange of Mauritius. The Preference shares’ conversion as well as the adoption of the new Constitution will only become effective upon such approval from the Stock Exchange of Mauritius being granted.
