Result of Extraordinary General Meeting
Kedco, the Irish-based energy group focusing on green-energy production in the
UK and Ireland, announces that, at the Extraordinary General Meeting held today,
all resolutions were duly passed by the Company's shareholders.
Full details of the resolutions are set out in the notice of Extraordinary
General Meeting contained in the circular of the Company dated 20 January 2009.
In addition, the Company is pleased to announce it has raised EUR967,556 (before
expenses) from a selection of institutional investors. The proceeds from the
placing will be used to develop further projects, as the business continues to
deliver its strategy of identifying joint venture partners for its waste to
energy solutions in the UK and Ireland.
Pursuant to the placing, an application has been made for the admission of a
further 6,450,373 new ordinary shares to trading on AIM. These shares, which
will be issued fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with the
existing ordinary shares of the Company.
Admission of the shares to trading on AIM is expected to occur on 19 February
2009.
As a result of the issue, the total number of voting rights as at 19 February
2009 will increase to 205, 896,853. This figure should be used by shareholders
as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the
Company, under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Donal Buckley, Chief Executive said:
"We are delighted to have raised this money, especially given the current
economic uncertainty and unusually difficult trading environment. The money we
raised through a private placement before our admission to AIM is currently
funding our two live projects and this new money will provide important capital
for the next phase of our development programme."
