Notice of EGM Circular
Essentially Group Limited ("Essentially" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce that following the announcement on 22 September 2009 of a
recommended share offer to be made by Chime Communications plc
("Chime") to acquire the whole of the issued and to be issued share
capital of Essentially, it has posted a circular to shareholders
convening an extraordinary general meeting ("EGM") of the Company on
10.30 a.m. on 20 October 2009.
Reasons for the EGM
The Company's articles of association (the "Articles") currently
prohibit payments being made by the Company to directors by way of
compensation for loss of office, or as consideration for or in
connection with their retirement from office. The Directors consider
that this is not in the best interests of the Company and believe
that it would be beneficial to delete this prohibition from the
Articles.
In order to allow the Company to pay the dividend announced on 22
September 2009, it is proposed that the Articles be amended to take
advantage of the changes made to Part 17 of the Companies (Jersey)
Law 1991 (the "Law"), as amended by the Companies (Amendment No.9)
(Jersey) Law 2008 (the "Amendment") which came into effect on 27 June
2008. Since 27 June 2008, the Law is more flexible with regards to
the distribution regime and companies incorporated in Jersey are now
able to make distributions out of any source other than any capital
redemption reserve or nominal capital, provided that the other
requirements under the Law are met. The Articles currently provide
that interim dividends can only be paid by the Company if it appears
to the Directors that they are "justified by the profits of the
company available for distribution". This prevents the Company from
paying an interim dividend out of a source other than profits
available for distribution. As the Company does not currently have
sufficient profits available for distribution to pay the Dividend,
the Dividend can only be paid if the Articles are amended to take
advantage of the Amendment and enable the Dividend to be paid out of
the Company's share premium account.
Finally, the Articles currently provide that annual general meetings
of the Company and meetings of the Company called for the passing of
a special resolution or a resolution appointing a person as a
director shall be held on at least 21 clear days' notice. The
Directors believe it would be beneficial to amend the Articles to
allow the Company to take advantage of a further change to the Law
made by the Amendment which allows all general meetings of companies
incorporated in Jersey to be held on 14 clear days' notice.
The circular is available on the Company's website at
www.essentiallygroup.com.
