Adjournment of General Meeting

United Cacao Limited SEZC (AIM: CHOC), the AIM-quoted cacao plantation company based in Peru, announces an update to the Company's notice of extraordinary general meeting of 03 November 2016 which notified shareholders of a General Meeting to be held at the offices of Gowling WLG (UK) LLP, being 4 More London Riverside, London, SE1 2AU at 10 a.m. on 29 November 2016 (the "General Meeting").

The Directors have been advised by shareholders in certain overseas jurisdictions that there has been insufficient time between receipt of the Notice of General Meeting and the date by which proxy forms are required to be returned. The Chairman therefore intends to adjourn the General Meeting which is to be held on 29 November 2016 at 10:00a.m. in accordance with the Company's articles of association on the basis that such adjournment is necessary in order that the business of the General Meeting may be properly concluded. Under Article 114 of the Company's articles of association, the Chairman will seek the consent of the meeting for its adjournment and for the authority to notify shareholder of the date of the adjourned meeting on less than 14 days' notice.

If consent is granted, the Company intends to adjourn the General Meeting to 1:00p.m. UK time on 8 December 2016 at the same location (the "Adjourned General Meeting"). This will be confirmed in due course following the meeting on 29 November 2016.

Shareholder Information

Shareholders are also informed that, if the General Meeting is adjourned, a new notice of general meeting will be posted to shareholders, but existing proxy forms and forms of instruction in respect of the General Meeting would remain valid to be used in respect of the Adjourned General Meeting.
