EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
Notice to shareholders is hereby being given in terms of Articles 164 and 165 of the Articles of Association of an Extraordinary General Meeting (‘EGM’) of Cryptology Asset Group PLC (C-84355), to be held at 66/67, ‘Beatrice’, Amery Street, Sliema, SLM 1707, Malta on Monday, the 30th day of May 2022 at 11:00am (CET).
To limit the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s Board of Directors has decided to adopt the exceptional meeting procedure provided for in the Companies Act (Public Companies - Annual General Meetings) Regulations, 2020, (specifically Article 5) which temporarily deviates from some of the provisions of the Maltese Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta.
The Board of Directors has decided to take the measures permitted by the temporary legislation to hold the General Meeting in a predicable manner whilst also taking into account the health and safety of its shareholders, personnel and other stakeholders.
It will not be possible to participate in the meeting ‘in person’, and no video link to the meeting venue will be provided.
Only the Company’s Board of Directors, CFO & Company Secretary will be present at the meeting venue.
The Company’s shareholders can participate in the meeting and exercise their rights as per instructions for shareholders as provided below in Section 3 (Instructions for the Participants in the General Meeting of the Shareholders).
