Posting of Scheme Document and Admission Document
Notice of Special General Meeting
Further to the announcement on 29 October 2009 of the Company's intention to
acquire all of the issued shares of Amber Petroleum Ltd., a private company
incorporated in the BVI, via a scheme of arrangement under section 179A of the
BVI Business Companies Act, a document containing details of the Scheme and
notice of court ordered meeting of the Amber Shareholders entitled to vote on
the Scheme to be held on 14 December 2009 has been despatched to the Amber
Shareholders and, for information only, to Amber optionholders.
The Acquisition will constitute a reverse takeover pursuant to the AIM Rules and
as such requires the publication of an admission document and the approval of
Shareholders pursuant to AIM Rule 14. Accordingly, an admission document has
been despatched to Shareholders that sets out, inter alia, notice of a Special
General Meeting ("SGM") as well as further details of the terms of the
Acquisition.
In addition to a resolution to approve the Acquisition pursuant to AIM Rule 14,
the notice of the SGM also includes resolutions (i) to approve the Company's New
Business Strategy; (ii) to convert all unissued preferred shares into Ordinary
Shares; (iii) to increase the Company's authorised share capital from
GBP3,020,000 to GBP30,000,000 by the creation of an additional 2,698,000,000
Ordinary Shares; and (iv) to change the Company's name to AfNat Resources
Limited.
As previously announced, although the New Business Strategy does not require
Shareholder approval, the Board believes that because it would be an expansion
of the Company's existing strategy, seeking Shareholder approval is appropriate.
The SGM will be held at 2.00 p.m. GMT (3.00 p.m. local time) on 14 December 2009
at the offices of Herbert Smith LLP at 66 Avenue Marceau, 75008 Paris, France.
Based on current advice, the Board believes that the Acquisition will be
completed, and the Enlarged Share Capital admitted to trading on AIM on or
around 23 December 2009.
A copy of the admission document is available on the Company's website at
www.lithicme.com. Copies are also available free of charge during normal
business hours on any weekday (except Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays) at
the offices of Seymour Pierce Limited, 20 Old Bailey, London EC4M 7EN from the
date of this announcement and for a period of at least one month from Admission.
Capitalised terms used throughout this announcement are defined at the end of
the announcement.
