Publication of Circular and Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
24 May 2024
On 16 May 2024, Integrated Diagnostics Holdings plc ("IDH" or the "Company") announced that it was proposing to delist its shares from the Egyptian Exchange ("EGX"), whilst maintaining its existing standard listing on the London Stock Exchange.
Further to that announcement, the Company announces that it now intends to proceed with the proposed delisting of its shares from the EGX and has today published a circular containing further details of the proposed delisting, the necessary shareholder resolutions to be considered and, if thought fit, approved at an Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") to be convened and the Notice of EGM (the "Circular").
The EGM will be held on Wednesday, 12 June 2024 at 1.00 pm (British Summer Time ("BST")) / 3.00 pm local time (Eastern European Summer Time ("EEST")) at the Headquarters of Integrated Diagnostics Holdings plc, Building B216-F7, Smart Village, Giza, Egypt.
If you are unable to attend the EGM but would like to vote on the resolutions, kindly request to submit your proxy vote online at https://www.signalshares.com/ or via CREST in accordance with the instructions set out in note 2 of the Explanatory Notes to the Notice of EGM. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit their proxy votes online at https://www.signalshares.com/ or via CREST where applicable. Proxy votes must be received by 1.00 pm (BST) / 3.00 pm local time (EEST) on Monday, 10 June 2024.
The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") remains keen to encourage engagement with shareholders. To that end, the Board would like to invite questions from shareholders in advance of and during the EGM. Should shareholders wish to submit questions to the Board prior to the deadline for proxy voting they can do so, and these will be responded to on an individual basis. In addition, the Board will offer shareholders the opportunity to dial into the EGM, at which time they can also submit questions to the Board.
Shareholders wishing to access the dial-in facility or submit questions are asked to email Tarek Yehia at tarek.yehia@idh.com by close of business on Wednesday, 5 June 2024.
A copy of the Circular will shortly be available on the Company's website: https://www.idhcorp.com/ and for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
