chilledbear 16 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) RANGERS has today been informed that the Millennium Gloucester Hotel & Conference Centre which was the intended venue for the Requisitioned General Meeting (“GM”) on Wednesday 4 March 2015 is no longer available. The hotel management at the Millennium Gloucester has taken advice from different quarters and concluded that the GM cannot be managed without significant disruption to guests and neighbours. The hotel management felt it necessary to take this position after receiving numerous complaints and false information from individuals purporting to be shareholders. The Board is concerned the situation was exacerbated by irresponsible and inaccurate media coverage. An alternative venue is currently being sought in the London area and will be announced as soon as possible. The Board apologises for any inconvenience this may have caused shareholders due to matters out with its control. http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/8490-club-statement Edited February 9, 2015 by chilledbear 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,234 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) Found this over on FF ... Members' power to require directors to call general meetings (sec303 - sec304) The directors must call a general meeting if so requested by the holders of 10% of the voting shares (or 10% of the voting rights if no shares). If at least 12 months have elapsed since the last general meeting called under this section, the request may be made by 5%. The request for the meeting must state the general nature of the business to be dealt with and may include the text of a resolution to be moved at the meeting (provided the resolution would not be ineffective (e.g. under the Act or because contrary to the company's articles, etc., and provided it is not defamatory, frivolous or vexatious). If the request is properly made, the directors must within 21 days call the meeting for a date not more than 28 days after the date of the notice calling the meeting. If the request included a proposed resolution, that must be included in the notice, which will then be part of the business that can be conducted at the meeting. (If it is a special resolution, the notice of the meeting must say so, in accordance with sec283, above.) Members may call meeting at company's expense (sec305) If the directors do not call a meeting as properly requested under the above sections, the members who requested it (or half of them, by voting rights) may call the meeting themselves, for a date not more than three months after the date when the directors were required to call it (i.e. 21 days after the request was made - see above). The meeting must be called in the same manner, as nearly as possible, as meetings called by the directors. The members calling the meeting can claim any reasonable expenses they have incurred, which the company must deduct from any remuneration that would have been paid to the directors. (Under the old law, the company had a power to do this, but was not required to do so.) The court may order meeting (sec306) If for any reason it is impracticable to call a meeting or to conduct it as prescribed by the articles or the Act, then the court may call one, to called, held and conducted in any manner the court thinks fit.. When doing so, the court may give such ancillary or consequential directions as it thinks expedient, including that one member may constitute a quorum.

barca72 440 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Somebody ( the RFFF maybe ) should put a deposit down to book The Glagow Concert hall for Mar. 4. Just to help this lot out when all the other London hotels refuse their booking. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
