In total 77,401,599 shares (amounting to 60.1% of the Company’s issued share capital) were present and/or represented at the Adjourned EGM which meant that a quorum of 75% of the Company’s issued share capital (as required by article 33 of the Company’s articles of association (the “Articles”)) was not met.
