Renewable Power & Light shares suspended2010-05-18 11:40:47[Go Back]Business Financial Newswire - Trading in Renewable Power & Light shares has been suspended following the resignation of the Company's nominated adviser, Grant Thornton and the Company's broker, Fiske.

At the same time, Chairman Michael Reynolds has issued a statement saying that it is virtually inevitable at a meeting requisitioned today by Thalassa Holdings and CityPoint Holdings that the current board with the exception of Timothy Hunstad wil be removed.

He adds: The current Board have made their position regarding Thalassa and CityPoint's behaviour as shareholders very clear over the last few months, since Thalassa and CityPoint's announcement preventing the Company from carrying out its previously shareholder approved investment policy.

"The Board, by requesting that Thalassa and CityPoint propose an alternative investment policy to the one they had rejected and by seeking to negotiate a smooth transition, have tried to ascertain the intent of these shareholders.

"However, having received none of the information requested, the Board continues to be of the strong conviction that these shareholders' ultimate intention has been to take control of your Company and its cash balances

Thalassa Holdings Limited

Thalassa Holdings Ltd
("the Company", Ticker THAL.L )

Update on investment in Renewable Power & Light plc
("RPL", Ticker RPL.L)

The Boards of the Company and CityPoint Holdings Ltd ("CPH") confirm that they
have issued a notice to requisition a general meeting of RPL (as set out in full
in the letter to RPL below which is also available on the Companys website
www.thalassaholdingsltd.com) to propose, in summary, the following resolutions:-


1. to appoint Messrs Duncan Soukup, Peter Redmond and Robert Porter to the
board of RPL and to remove the current board with the exception of Mr Timothy
Hunstad,

The Company and CPH would welcome potential nominations for RPL directors from
existing shareholders.

2. to discontinue the current investment strategy to wind RPL up, and

3. to become an investment company which shall seek to acquire or invest in
one or more opportunities which the newly appointed board consider to be
undervalued or to have potential growth prospects.

The proposal to replace the current board of RPL was reached following the
voting down of all the resolutions proposed by the board of RPL at the general
meeting held on 15 February 2010 and, most importantly, because the board of RPL
failed to inform shareholders that they had received, prior to the that general
meeting, a competing and substantially higher offer for RPL's US subsidiary, at
a 100,000% premium to the $1 price that the board of RPL was recommending.

The Company and CPH are convinced that their proposals for change are in the
best interests of ALL RPL shareholders and would request that those RPL
shareholders who agree with the proposed resolutions make their voting
intentions known to the board of RPL.

Should the board of RPL, other than Mr Hunstad, voluntarily tender their
resignations and appoint the proposed nominees in their place as a result of RPL
shareholders making their intentions known to the board of RPL, the Company and
CPH would immediately withdraw the requisition thereby saving RPL (and
ultimately its shareholders) the time and expense of this formal process.

Still waiting for news with bated breath.

[rexnash] 27/1/2010 10:43

I have just called my stockbroker, he cant shed any light on the subject at the moment, but will let me know when and if anything happens. Looks like my shares are floating around cyber space at the moment.

[joosepi] 26/1/2010 11:26

rpl will distribute cash to its shareholders, as assets are sold.
where bll shareholders will benifit is complex, such is the matrix of the share aquisitions, its unclear if bll will benifit at all.

the ticker for renewable power and light is: rpl, it is quoted on aim. It is a registered company at companies house, it has no current business and no current business plan, it seems only to live to sell its assets.

much further detail is required from Duncan Soukup to support his bullish statement at "Investment in Bella Media plc"

[casabella2] 25/1/2010 17:02

What about a new share price

[instarich] 25/1/2010 15:35

Quick question, I hold Bella Media and have for many years and in its previous form, should I have recevied a new certificate in the name of CPI plc?

[joosepi] 03/1/2010 13:55

Solarno you said you were going to read the article, when you have, then please make a useful input!
Not have a go at me for bringing the issue to attention of shareholders in the first place

Happy new year

[solarno lopez] 02/1/2010 18:31

as you are so fired up JOOSEPI get on and organise it instead of leaving it upto others

[joosepi] 02/1/2010 13:13

ilovit READ Read Read!!!!!! what do you mean legal.
This was railroaded,at christmas, in the hope that most shareholders would do as expected! "put ther heads in the sand" and in the new year and walk away! The only way for money back?

Sue the directors, there is no defence for what they pulled off.

Bll shareholders (those with a bit of "fire in there belly") and a win or no fee firm of lawyers, should go and get our asset, the cinema group, we all invested in, back, then a return of our diluted losses made.

[iloveit] 29/12/2009 08:34

wow terrific find guys ,it surely will have small print that all is done and dusted LEGALLY?
If not then maybe somewhere down the line here which should be cost effective a substantial increase in share price at present of newly name changed CITY HOLDINGS could satisfy all thoses that hold and are still holding shares in this company ,i need at least a £1 a share go get them !!!!!
