Circular re AGM
Victoria PLC, (LSE: VCP) the international designers,
manufacturers and distributors of innovative floorcoverings,
announces that it is today posting to shareholders a circular
concerning additional resolutions to be proposed at the AGM being
held on Friday, 31 August 2012.
The Company announced on 8 August 2012 that it had appointed
David Garman and Roger Hoyle (the "New Directors") as new
independent non-executive directors to the Board.
Under the Company's articles of association, the New Directors
are required to retire at the forthcoming AGM and the Board is
seeking their re-election to the Board. Accordingly, the Board is
proposing to add the following additional resolutions to be
considered at the Annual General Meeting:
1. To re-elect David Garman as a Director of the Company; and
2. To re-elect Roger Hoyle as a Director of the Company.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the
re-appointment of the New Directors pursuant to the additional
resolutions.
The circular sets out the background to the appointment of the
New Directors. They were appointed, as has been previously
announced, as a consequence of the failure to agree the terms of an
incentive scheme for the benefit of certain former directors of the
Company, Alexander Anton, Geoffrey Wilding and Sir Bryan Nicholson,
which resulted in the relationship between those former
directorsand the rest of the Board deteriorating rapidly. This
culminated in the appointment of the New Directors and the
resignation of the former directors on 8 August 2012.
Whether or not they propose to attend the Annual General Meeting
in person, shareholders are requested to complete the proxy form
enclosed with the circular and return it to the Company Secretary
at the Company's registered office: Worcester Road, Kidderminster,
Worcestershire DY10 1JR so as to arrive as soon as possible, but in
any event so as to be received before 11.00 a.m. on 29 August 2012
to be valid.
Shareholders should also be aware that both of the executive
Directors, Alan Bullock and Barry Poynter, will retire by rotation
at the AGM and resolutions are being proposed for their
re-election. It is vital for the well-being of the Company, and in
the best interests of all Shareholders, that there continues to be
a strong and experienced executive team at Victoria.
The Board is of the opinion that the re-election of David Garman
and Roger Hoyle is in the best interests of Shareholders as a whole
and accordingly unanimously recommends that all Shareholders vote
in favour of their re-election at the Annual General Meeting on 31
August 2012.
The Board is also of the opinion that the re-election of Alan
Bullock and Barry Poynter is in the best interests of Shareholders
as a whole and accordingly unanimously recommends that all
Shareholders vote in favour of their re-election at the AGM.
The circular and the second form of proxy can be viewed at the
Company's website www.victoriaplc.com.
