Progress Report
Statement
issued 2nd April by Clubhaus plc: Following the announcement by Clubhaus plc
(Clubhaus or the Company) on 27 February 2002 concerning
the proposed restructuring of the Company's balance sheet and finances, the Company
is pleased to announce that substantial progress has been made regarding the required
documentation to implement such proposals.
It expects now that the shareholder circular will be published on 10 April 2002,
following the necessary court hearing to review the scheme document on 9 April
2002. The documentation relating to the bondholders and the proposed scheme of
arrangement and that relating to the preference shareholder will also be published
on the same date. The
announcement on 27 February envisaged at that time that the publication of the
shareholder circular would be by the end of March along with the report and accounts
for the 9 months to 30 September 2001. These accounts will now be posted to shareholders
with the shareholder circular on 10 April 2002. The AIM Rules require companies
on AIM to publish their accounts within 6 months of the period end. As the Company
has changed its year end to 30 September (announced 21 November 2001) the latest
date for publication of the accounts is 31 March 2002. Accordingly the Company's
shares will be suspended from the start of business on 2 April 2002 until publication
of the accounts and circular. It
was also announced on 4 February 2002 that Paul Davidson would be joining the
Board of Clubhaus. Mr Davidson, who holds approximately 8.8 per cent. of the issued
share capital of Clubhaus, has decided not to take up his appointment at this
time although he has agreed to vote in favour of all the resolutions to be proposed
at the forthcoming EGM to implement the restructuring proposals. |
