Origo Partners PLC
("Origo" or the "Company")
Announcement re Isle of Man Court Proceedings
The Company announced on 8 March 2016 that, whilst the Company's
articles of association include a requirement for the Company to
have redeemed US$12 million of convertible zero dividend
preferences shares ("CZDPs") by 8 March 2016, it is not in a
position to redeem US$12 million of CZDPs at the current time. The
8 March 2016 announcement went on to confirm that the Company
remains under a continuing obligation to undertake the redemption
of US$12 million of CZDPs as and when it is legally able to do
so.
The Company now announces that it has been notified by Brooks
Macdonald Asset Management (International) Limited that it has
filed a Claim Form, dated 9 March 2016, at the Isle of Man High
Court seeking an order to wind-up the Company on the grounds that
it is just and equitable to do so and/or as relief under section
180 of the Isle of Man Companies Act 2006. The Company awaits
receipt of formal notification of the filing from the Isle of Man
High Court.
As confirmed in the circular posted to shareholders on 19
January 2016, the Company's opposition to such a filing would
inevitably involve significant cost.
The Company is considering its options in relation to this
matter and a further announcement with regards to this matter will
be made, as appropriate, in due course.
