Legal Moves Delay AGM

 

 

 

A GROUP of Rangers shareholders, including former director Paul Murray and former Chairman Malcolm Murray, have succeeded in their bid to delay the club's annual general meeting.

 

Their petition was heard at the Court of Session in Edinburgh today.

 

The court has ruled that the AGM should not go ahead on October 24 in order that there is sufficient time for the shareholder resolutions proposed by the petitioning shareholders (the "Notices") to be circulated and considered.

 

The shareholders, including Paul Murray and Malcolm Murray, representing 0.71% of the voting rights of the Company had petitioned the court for an interim order to require the Company to put forward resolutions to shareholders for the appointment of Malcolm Murray, Paul Murray, Scott Murdoch and Alex Wilson as directors of the Company.

 

They also sought an interim order to require the Company not to hold its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") until such time as these resolutions had been circulated to shareholders.

 

The shareholders petitioning the court argued that the Company should simply have accepted the signed requisitions at face value without any further enquiry but this argument was rejected by Lord Tyre.

 

The Board of Directors of the Company received clear and firm advice from its solicitors and senior and junior counsel that on the face of documents provided by the petitioning shareholders the Notices had not been signed in a manner that was authorised and as a result the Directors were obliged to seek further clarification from those shareholders.

 

Every effort was made to engage with the petitioning shareholders on these issues but these shareholders chose to resolve the matter in court.

 

In Lord Tyre's opinion, these irregularities did not invalidate the Notices.

 

The Company will now be taking steps to fix an alternative date for the AGM as soon as possible and for the business to be considered at the AGM to include the resolutions proposed by the petitioning shareholders.

Glad I didn't book my day off work, waited to see what would happen with CoS excision today.

 

We now wait and see if the board will procrastinate any further it if they'll call the new AGM on the first available date.
