Results of General Meeting and Merger Update
30 June 2022
The Board of Oxford Technology 4 VCT plc ("the Company or “OT4")
is pleased to announce the resolution to approve the Company being
placed in liquidation, appoint the liquidators and cancel the
listing of the Company's shares, was duly passed on a show of hands
and with 97.7% of proxy votes received being in favour (or at the
chairman's discretion). Full details are shown below.
The general meeting of the Company held today was in connection
with the merger of the Company with Oxford Technology 2 VCT plc
("OT2") by way of a scheme of reconstruction of the Company
pursuant to Section 110 of the Insolvency Act 1986, whereby the
Company will now be placed into members' voluntary liquidation and
all of its assets and liabilities will be transferred by the
appointed liquidators to OT2. Full details were contained in the
Company's circular to shareholders ("Circular") dated 18 May
2022.
A copy of the resolution passed at the above meeting will
shortly be available for inspection on both the Company's website
(www.oxfordtechnologyvct.com), as well as at the National Storage
Mechanism
(https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism).
Accordingly, by way of implementation of the Scheme, the Company
has been placed into members' voluntary liquidation and the assets
and liabilities of the Company transferred to OT2 in consideration
for the issue of new ordinary shares of 1p each in the new OT4
Share pool of OT2 ("OT4 Consideration Shares"). The total number of
OT4 Consideration Shares issued to the Company's shareholders was
10,826,748. This figure is 5,000 less than the current total number
of OT4 shares in issue, as one shareholder exercised his right to
dissent.
Application will shortly be made for all the OT4 Consideration
Shares issued to be admitted to the Official List and to trading on
the main market of the London Stock Exchange. It is expected that
admission of these Consideration Shares will become effective and
that trading will commence on 1 July 2022. CREST accounts are also
expected to be credited on 1 July 2022. Where OT4 shareholders held
their shares in OT4 in certificated form, those certificates will
cease to be of value and such shareholders will be issued with an
identical number of OT4 Consideration Shares. Certificates for
these Consideration Shares are expected to be dispatched by 15
July.
As part of the Scheme, the suspension of the listing of the
Company's own shares took place at 7.30 a.m. today (30 June 2022)
and the cancellation of these shares will take place with effect
from 8.00 am on 8 July 2022 (being slightly earlier than originally
anticipated in the Circular).
Full details of the voting were as follows:
Proxy votes were received in respect of 3,803,012 Ordinary
Shares, representing 35.1% of the issued share capital as at
28 June 2022.
