Results of General Meeting and Rights Issue
and
Update on Cancellation of Listing
Result of General Meeting
The Company is pleased to announce that all the resolutions put to the
Extraordinary General Meeting held earlier today were passed.
Result of Rights Issue
The Board of the Company is pleased to announce that as at 5:00 pm. on 21
December 2009, being the latest time and date for acceptance of the Rights
Issue, valid acceptances had been received in respect of 18,233,163 New Shares,
representing approximately 76 per cent. of the total number of New Shares
offered to Shareholders and representing proceeds of EUR911,658. The remaining New
Shares may be allocated by the Company in accordance with the terms of the
Rights Issue.
Update on Cancellation of Listing
An application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the cancellation
of admission to trading on AIM of the Company's Shares. Following the passing of
Resolution 2 at the Extraordinary General Meeting, cancellation is expected to
become effective at 7.00 a.m. on 6 January 2010.
The attention of Shareholders is drawn to the Company's circular dated 1
December 2009 which sets out the risks associated with retaining an interest in
the Company following the Listing Cancellation becoming effective. In
particular, it should be noted that there will be no market facility for dealing
in the Shares and no price will be publicly quoted for the Shares as from the
close of business on 5 January 2010. As such, liquidity in, and marketability
of, the Shares will be very limited and holdings of Ordinary Shares will be
difficult to value and to trade.
Whilst the Board believes that the Listing Cancellation is in the Company's and
the Shareholders' best interests, it recognises that cancelling admission to
trading on AIM will make it more difficult for Shareholders to trade their
Shares subsequently as there will be no alternative trading arrangements put in
place by the Company for such Shares.
If Shareholders wish to sell their Shares on AIM, they must do so prior to the
Listing Cancellation becoming effective (such Listing Cancellation will occur no
earlier than five clear business days after the EGM and it is expected that
trading in the Shares on AIM will cease at the close of business on 5 January
2010, with Listing Cancellation becoming effective at 7.00 am on 6 January
2010).
Following the Listing Cancellation becoming effective, there will be no dealing
facilities for the Shares. Transfers of Shares will be effected by submission of
a duly executed transfer form to the Company.
A copy of the Company's Circular can be found on the Company's website at
www.madarafund.com. Terms used in this announcement have the same meaning as in
the Company's announcement dated 1 December 2009.
