Resolutions by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Componenta
Componenta Corporation Stock Exchange Release 8.9.2009 at 12.40
The Extraordinary General Meeting which met on 8 September 2009 decided, in
accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, to authorise the Board
of Directors to decide on a share issue and an issue of special rights
entitling to shares referred to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Limited
Liability Companies Act in one or more lots, either against payment or without
payment. The number of shares to be issued, including shares receivable on the
basis of special rights, shall not exceed 8,000,000 shares. The Board of
Directors may decide to issue either new shares or treasury shares possibly
held by the company.
The authorisation entitles the Board of Directors to decide on all the terms
and conditions of the share issue and the issue of special rights entitling to
shares, including the right to derogate from the pre-emptive right of the
shareholders. The authorisation is proposed to be used to strengthen the
company's balance sheet and financial position or for other purposes decided on
by the Board of Directors.
The authorisation cancels the authorisation given to the Board of Directors by
the Annual General Meeting on 26 February 2007 to decide on a share issue and
issue of special rights entitling to shares.
As published earlier in a stock exchange release, the Board of Directors is
preparing a share issue where, derogating from the pre-emptive right of the
shareholders, approximately 6,000,000 new shares in the company would be
offered for subscription by the company's shareholders, holders of the capital
notes, and by professional clients referred to in Chapter 1, Section 4 of the
Securities Market Act, for market price. In the event of oversubscription, the
shareholders would receive new shares in the proportion of the shareholding
recorded in the shareholder register on the record date of the share issue.
