Proposed cancellation of the share premium account and
the deferred shares
The Board of Caspian Sunrise is pleased to announce that a circular convening a general meeting on 22 April 2022 will be posted to shareholders later today to seek approval to cancel the Company's share premium account and to cancel the deferred shares, which are steps required to allow the future payment of dividends.
A copy of the circular will be available at www.caspiansunrise.com
Under UK company law, a company is precluded from paying dividends, making other distributions to shareholders or buying back its own shares in the absence of distributable reserves.
If the proposed share premium cancellation and proposed deferred shares cancellation, are approved by shareholders at the general meeting, they will be subject to the scrutiny of, and confirmation by the High Court.
Following the implementation of the share premium cancellation and the deferred shares cancellation there would be no change in the nominal value of the Company's ordinary shares or the number of ordinary shares in issue. The share premium cancellation and the deferred shares cancellation themselves will not involve any distribution or repayment by the Company and will not reduce the underlying net assets of the Company.
