Shareholder Information


Voting Rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, on a show of hands every member present in person and every proxy shall have one vote. In the case of a poll every member shall have one vote for each share of which he is the holder.

Restrictions
Where a member has failed to comply with an Information Notice pursuant to Article 7 which allows the directors of the company to seek certain information from the members in relation to their shareholdings, by either not providing the required information or providing false or misleading information, the directors may issue a Restriction Notice to such a member which has the effect of prohibiting the member from voting either personally or by proxy in respect of his shares for the duration of such notice.

Dividends
Article 109 allows for the payment of dividends to members in proportion to the amounts paid up on their shares. Where a member has failed to comply with Article 7 and is subject to a restriction notice, then, if the default shares comprise more than 0.25 per cent or more of the class of shares concerned then no dividend payment shall be made in respect of such shares. Where a dividend has remained unclaimed for twelve years from the date of its declaration, it shall be for forfeited and cease to remain owing by the Company.

Transfer
Ordinary shares may be transferred by an instrument in writing. The instrument of transfer must be signed by the transferor and when the share is not fully paid by the transferee. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register.

Article 35 provides that the Directors may in their absolute discretion and without assigning any further reason therefore, refuse to register any share transfer if it is not fully paid.

Forfeiture
If any shareholder fails to pay the whole or any part of any call on or before the day appointed for the payment thereof, the board may at any time thereafter during such time as the call, or any part thereof, which remains unpaid, serve a notice on the shareholder requiring him to pay such a call, or part thereof, which remains unpaid, together with any accrued interest and if the directors of the Company so resolve any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non payment.

Winding up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Statutes, divide among the members in specie or kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company and may, for such purpose, set such value as deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the members or different classes of members.
