Obchodování s akciemi NWR zastaveno. Akcionáři schválili dobrovolnou likvidaci společnosti

Akcionáři se dohodli i na jmenování likvidátorů. Těmi jsou Mark Skelton, Geoffrey Bouchier a Paul Williams z nizozemské společnosti Duff & Phelps B.V. Podle jejich vyjádření bude nejbližším cílem jednat směrem k ochraně aktiv NWR a soustředění maxima zdrojů k rozdělení. Likvidátoři neočekávají žádný okamžitý dopad na aktivity OKD.

NWR již dříve uvedla, že pravděpodobným dopadem současné situace OKD bude její rozpuštění. Společnost letos neoznámila výsledky za první ani za druhé čtvrtletí a nemá od května ani mluvčího pro Českou republiku.

Obchodování s akciemi NWR na pražské burze bylo pozastaveno 5. května, na londýnské burze o den dříve.

Majitelem většiny hlasovacích práv v NWR jsou od letošního února nadnárodní investiční fondy Ashmore Group, M&G a Gramercy, které se spojily do uskupení Ad Hoc Group (AHG). Předtím byla většinovým akcionářem skupina CERCL, která z poloviny patří podnikateli Zdeňku Bakalovi.

NWR je majitelem OKD, jež je od května tohoto roku v úpadku a nyní prochází restrukturalizací. OKD začne hledat strategického partnera.  

Podle sdělení RM-Systému bylo rozhodnuto o pozastavení obchodování s akciemi NWR. Poslední včerejší obchody probíhaly při kurzu 0,1 Kč

Meeting of Creditors

The Company Secretary of NWR hereby certifies that a meeting of the creditors of NWR was duly convened to place today in NWR's corporate headquarters at Herengracht 448, 1017 CA Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to vote on the subsequent resolutions. 

RESOLUTIONS

THAT, Mark Skelton and Geoffrey Bouchier and Paul Williams of Duff & Phelps B.V., Rembrandt Tower, Amstelplein 1, Amsterdam, the Netherlands 1096HA be appointed as Joint Liquidators for the purposes of the winding up of NWR and that any power conferred on them by law or by this resolution may be exercised and any act required or authorized under any enactment to be done by them may be done by them jointly or by each of them alone in accordance with Section 231 of the Insolvency Act 1986.

THAT, the fees of £25,000 plus disbursements of £5,500 of the Joint Liquidators in connection with preparing the statement of affairs, convening the meetings of members and creditors of NWR and for assisting the directors in the period leading up to the liquidation be approved.

THAT, the statement of affairs fee of £25,000, plus disbursements of £5,500, be drawn from the assets of NWR.

No creditors of NWR attended the meeting of the creditors (or submitted their votes by proxy) and, therefore, the meeting of the creditors of NWR could not be held. As a result, the Joint Liquidators will be seeking approval of the English High Court to be vested with their full powers under the Insolvency Act 1986.

Company Secretary a.i.

Statement from the Joint Liquidators

Mark Skelton, one of the appointed Joint Liquidators of NWR, provided the following statement on behalf of Duff & Phelps:

"We are pleased to have been nominated as Joint Liquidators by NWR's shareholders. Our next step is to seek an order from the English High Court to be vested with full powers as liquidators under the Insolvency Act 1986. Once obtained, we will discharge our duties in accordance with the Insolvency Act 1986, namely to preserve and recover NWR's assets and to maximise the funds available for distribution. It will take some time for us to analyse and consider our next steps for NWR, therefore, our current priority is to minimise the impact of our appointment on NWR's stakeholders. In the meantime, our appointment is not expected to have any immediate impact on operations and activities at OKD, and we will endeavour to work with OKD and its stakeholders as appropriate in the discharge of our duties."
