NOTICE OF GENERAL
MEETING
Notice is hereby given that a General Meeting
(Meeting) of Beacon Rise
Holdings PLC (Company) will
be held at Meeting Room 1, 8 Hermitage St, London, W2 1BE, on
28th February 2024 at 2:30pm.
BACKGROUND
The board of directors of the Company (the
Board) notes that, the
Company's entire issued share capital was admitted to the Official
List of the Financial Conduct Authority (the FCA) and was admitted to trading by way
of Standard Listing on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange
on 25 March 2022 (Admission), following the publication
of a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Prospectus
Regulation Rules of the FCA made under section 73A of the Financial
Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA) and approved by the FCA under
section 87A of FSMA (the Prospectus). The Prospectus
stated that, within the first 24 months following Admission, the
Company would target acquisitions which would be in the form of a
merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
scheme of arrangement, reorganisation or similar business
combination of an interest in an operating company or business or
asset (Acquisition).
The Board further notes that, pursuant to
paragraph 4 of Part I of the Prospectus (The Company's Strategy - Capital and returns
management), if an Acquisition had not been announced within
24 months of Admission, the directors of the Company would
recommend to the shareholders of the Company either, to continue to
pursue an Acquisition for a further 12 months from such date or,
that the Company be wound up (in order to return capital to
shareholders of the Company, to the extent assets are available).
The Board noted that, their recommendation must be subject to a
vote of the shareholders of the Company, from which the directors
holding ordinary shares in the capital of the Company must
abstain.
Given no suitable target has been found in the
period since Admission, the Board is of the view that the Company
should continue to pursue an Acquisition for a further 12
months.
At the Meeting, you will be asked to consider
and vote on the resolution below to approve the Company's continued
pursuit of an Acquisition for a further 12 months from the date of
25 March 2024. This resolution will be proposed as an ordinary
resolution.
ORDINARY RESOLUTION
THAT, the Company
shall continue to pursue a suitable acquisition target, whether in
the form of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition,
stock purchase, scheme of arrangement, reorganisation or similar
business combination of an interest in an operating company or
business or asset, for a further 12 months, being the period from
25 March 2024 to 24 March 2025.
By order of the Board
