The information required in relation to AIM Rule 26 is detailed in the text below and in the other pages on this website linked tobelow. As there are no provisions in Cyprus law or practice applicable to EMED Mining equivalent to the UK City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "City Code"), which prevent persons acquiring 30% or more of the voting rights in a company without making a general offer on the same terms to all shareholders (as set out in Rule 9 of the City Code), such provisions have been included in EMED Mining's Articles of Association. In order to afford shareholders equivalent protection to that offered by the City Code, EMED Mining's Articles of Association prohibit a person, and those acting in concert with him, from acquiring 30% or more of the voting rights, or from increasing their holding if it is above 30% and under 50%, unless either the Board consents to the acquisition, or the procedure set out in Rule 9 of the UK City Code is followed. EMED Mining's Articles of Association give the Board full power inter alia to require a shareholder to provide any appropriate information, make such determinations as it sees fit, determine that voting rights on any shares held in breach of the Articles of Association ("Excess Shares") be suspended, and act as the Member's attorney in selling such Excess Shares.Cyprus law contains no provisions applicable to EMED Mining equivalent to the UK law requirement on shareholders to disclose their level of holding in shares in a company once the Board has served a disclosure notice on them. EMED Mining's Articles of Association (regulations 35 to 41) give the Board the ability to serve such a notice, and in default of compliance, a defaulting Shareholder can have his right to dividends suspended, and his shares may not be transferred until the requested information has been obtained.
