If there are a few sou left over at the end, then they will accrue to the pref holders. Clearly zilch for ordinary shareholders.
=================================================


3. APPOINTMENT OF LIQUIDATOR AND LIQUIDATION

Subject to Shareholder approval of the Resolutions, the Liquidator will be appointed as liquidator to the Company and their remuneration shall be determined by the Company. The appointment of the Liquidator will take effect immediately upon the passing of the Resolutions. Upon the appointment of the Liquidator, all powers of the Board will cease and the Liquidator will be responsible for the affairs of the Company until it is wound up. The Liquidator will wind up the Company in accordance with Luxembourg law, discharge the liabilities of the Company and, following satisfaction of all the creditors of the Company, will divide the surplus assets (if any) of the Company among the Shareholders according to their respective rights and interests in the Company.

After the liquidation of the Company and the distribution of surplus assets (if any) to Shareholders, existing certificates in respect of the Shares will cease to be of value and any existing credit of the Shares in any stock account in CREST will be redundant.

The Liquidator will establish a reserve of such amount as they consider appropriate to meet the Company's liabilities and estimated costs and expenses whilst in liquidation (the "Retention"). The Liquidator estimates that the Retention will amount to approximately EUR250,000. Any surplus funds remaining from the Retention after the Liquidator has settled all liabilities, costs and expenses, will be distributed to Shareholders at the conclusion of the liquidation. Payment will be made by cheque.

Yesterday's rns...not sure i understood it entirely so will call upon others to elaborate! :-)

[specuvestor] 08/12/2015 21:29

Deltalo, what makes you think that we may get some money back? Has there been an announcement?

[deltalo] 08/12/2015 20:25

Looks like we may get some money back afterall. It will be interesting to see how much is leftover. Could be loads or may be nothing who knows. Any money would be a bonus as ive cut my losses here and moved on.

[hjfe] 03/12/2015 08:56

This has now delisted - even though the EGM was postponed and the resolutions not voted on.

Board clearly have no intention of continuing as a going concern.

[hjfe] 27/11/2015 12:25

What a complete and utter shambles - they can't even wind the company up!

[hjfe] 26/11/2015 11:23

EGM probably done and dusted in Luxy now - should get an RNS soon with outcome of the resolutions.

The value of the property portfolio as at 31 March 2007 was EUR 446m and
consisted of 15 properties. The recent acquisition of a French portfolio valued
at EUR 215m on 3 April 2007 plus outstanding conditional commitments valued at
EUR 83m increased the value to EUR744m.



A lot of money .....

Yes, what was the history of this company?

How much did it initially raise and then lose?

[asmodeus] 21/11/2015 11:47

No more gambles for me, Loobrush!

[barnetpeter] 19/11/2015 16:40

yes I agree...its a property company at a time of boom and they have lost everything. The lot. I dont see how that was possible myself. tens of millions..

[joe say] 16/11/2015 14:40

specuvestor - its worth it as at least you stall/hinder the daylight robbery we've endured

but its your choice

[sidjameslaugh] 16/11/2015 14:33

Save your time and throw it in the bin. These are worthless regardless of what you do. Mine was binned last week.

[skinny] 16/11/2015 13:59

Probably not - but it's good for the soul!

[specuvestor] 16/11/2015 13:56

Is it worth voting No? what are the advantages? I have a million shares split between Selftrade & TD Direct.

I wrote this off months ago.

[joe say] 16/11/2015 12:31

I've voted No as well

[skinny] 16/11/2015 09:59

I've just lodged my vote through HL - deadline (with them) is noon Friday 20 November 2015.

[hjfe] 16/11/2015 08:56

I've had to e-mail TD Direct Investing to get Proxy Form to vote on the EGM resolutions, although they have said I can do this by phone (which I will be doing shortly).

It's a big fat "NO" from me for both resolutions - the Board has been too eager to wind this up without any value for shareholders IMO. Greater transparency needed before I will kiss goodbye to this.

[red army] 06/11/2015 14:55

The directors are incompetent and clueless and should be struck off. I would not be surprised to learn that these properties have been sold for a song.

[jerseymike] 06/11/2015 14:20

Hey guysI guess by now you have all read the circular recording the demise of the company. I am sure you have realised that it seems very convenient that the assets realised just enough to cover the borrowing and to leave a nice healthy amount to pay the liquidator with ZERO left for the shareholders. The board claims to have done all it could to avoid this situation but refuses to provide any detailed information in support of what has gone on. I have no idea whether any sort of impropriety has occurred but have my suspicions and want some greater detail as to what has transpired. As such I will be voting against the resolution for voluntary liquidation and hope you all will too. As shareholders we cannot be in any worse position than we are in now by voting against the proposal and will either be satisfied that the directors acted properly or otherwise with a prolonged period of existence for the company.I am going to continue to seek answers as to what happened here and hope I can rely upon your support.

Thanks Spec.

[specuvestor] 17/10/2015 13:30

Got this from the Company:

We have not yet announced the date of the EGM, as we are awaiting a Luxembourg regulatory approval in order to send out the circular and the resolutions. I hope that we will get this soon and be able to hold the meeting in November, with a good notice period being given. As IERET is a Luxembourg domiciled company, the meeting will be in Luxembourg.
