Notice of AGM and Update on Quarterly Reporting
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwired) -- 04/22/13 -- Anglo Pacific Group PLC (the "Company") (LSE: APF)(TSX: APY) announces the publication of its Notice of the 2013 Annual General Meeting (the "Notice") on the Company's website, www.anglopacificgroup.com.
Annual General Meeting
The 2013 Annual General Meeting will be held at The Royal Institution of Great Britain, 21 Albemarle Street, London W1S 4BS, United Kingdom on Wednesday May 22, 2013 at 10:00am.
A hard copy version of the Notice and the Form of Proxy will be sent to those shareholders who have elected to continue to receive paper communications today. Shareholders who have not elected to continue to receive paper communications, will be sent a notification of the availability of these documents on the Company's website by post or, where they have elected, by email. The documents will also be available through the National Storage Mechanism at www.hemscott.com/nsm.do and through SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Update on Quarterly Reporting
The Company, as a "designated foreign issuer" ("DFI") under Ontario securities laws, is generally permitted to satisfy Canadian continuous disclosure requirements by complying with the equivalent United Kingdom continuous disclosure requirements. This includes, for example, preparing interim financial statements covering a six-month period rather than a quarterly period (as is required of domestic Canadian issuers).
Notwithstanding the rules applying to DFIs, in 2011, the Company began quarterly reporting on a voluntary basis. The Directors of the Company have now determined that the Company will cease filing public quarterly reports, and will revert to the half-yearly financial reporting, as required by and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom requirements, and as is permitted under Ontario securities laws for a DFI.
