The shareholders of PA Resources AB (publ) held an extraordinary general meeting
on Tuesday 9th of April 2013 in Stockholm. The meeting decided in accordance
with the board’s proposal, including among others approval of a reversed share
split.
The following decisions were made at the meeting:
Decision to adopt new articles of association
To enable a reversed share split, the meeting decided to adopt new articles of
association, involving among others the following amendments:
· the number of shares are changed to a minimum of 25,000,000 and a maximum of
100,000,000
· the section on different share classes is cancelled, since the company now
only has one class of shares.
Decision on a minor new share issue and reversed share split
For purely administrative reasons and in order to achieve as even a number of
shares as possible to carry out the reversed split, the meeting decided to issue
28 new shares. The new shares will be subscribed for exclusively by Carnegie
Investment Bank AB (publ) to a subscription price of SEK 0.10 per share
(equivalent to the quota value before the reversed share split).
The meeting then decided to carry out a reverse split of shares 1:500, meaning
that 500 present shares are consolidated into 1 share. The consolidation is
intended to increase the transparency of the price of the shares while it
results in a number of shares more appropriate for the company. The reversed
share split will be made by rounding off downwards, by which each complete
number of 500 shares on the record day will result in 1 share after the reversed
split.
For shareholders whose shares on the record date do not correspond to a full
number of new shares (after consolidation), the excess shares will be
transferred to the company’s ownership on the record day. The excess shares will
then be sold, at the company’s expense, by Carnegie Investment Bank AB (publ),
who has been engaged to handle the reversed share split and the sale of excess
shares. The profits from the sale will be distributed among the shareholders who
owned the excess shares when they were transferred to the company, in relation
to their part of the sold shares.
The meeting authorized the board of directors to determine the record date of
the consolidation. The record date must not be earlier than registration of the
decision to consolidate. Further information regarding the procedure for the
reversed split will be made public in connection with the board’s determination
of record date.
The managing director was authorised to make minor changes in the decisions
above as may be required in connection with registration with the Companies
Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB. The minutes from the extraordinary
general meeting will be available at www.paresources.se.
