Cutix PLC has announced the cancellation of its proposed Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), which was initially set to be held on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, at the company’s head office.
The announcement was disclosed on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) website and signed by the company secretary, Okeke Augustina (ACIS).
The cancellation follows the voluntary resignation of Dr. Chidozie Nsoedo from the company’s board, effective November 14, 2024, which was one of the key reasons for convening the meeting.
In a statement, the board disclosed:
“The Board has resolved to accept his resignation as well as to defer the second item on the agenda to the next Annual General Meeting (AGM).”
Background
In a disclosure dated October 28, 2024, Cutix PLC announced plans for an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to be held on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.
The meeting was set to address a resolution on the removal of Dr. Chidozie Nsoedo as a director of the company.
According to the disclosure:
‘’The removal of Dr. Chidozie Nsoedo as a Director of Cutix Plc (the Company) following the depletion of the required minimum aggregate of 10% shares of the Company that qualified him as a Director of Cutix Plc.’’
Another agenda item was a proposed amendment to the company’s Articles of Association to formalize a provision allowing the board to remove a director if the shareholder they represent saw their stake in the company fall below the 10% threshold stipulated in Section 83(1).
However, the director has resigned, leading to the cancellation of the EGM and deferring the second item on the agenda to the next Annual General Meeting (AGM), pending further board deliberations.
