The convener has discretion to permit a creditor to attend a physical meeting remotely if the convener receives a request to do so in advance of the meeting. To enable suitable arrangements to be made, creditors are asked to submit any such requests by 9am on the business day before the meeting.

The meeting may be suspended or adjourned by the chair of the meeting (and must be adjourned if it is so resolved at the meeting).

A proxy form is available free of charge upon request to the convener at the above noted address or by email to enable creditors to appoint a proxy-holder to attend on their behalf (note: any creditor who is not an individual must appoint a proxy-holder, if they wish to attend or be represented at the meeting).

Proxy forms submitted for the superseded virtual meetings convened for 11 August 2017, will remain valid for the physical meeting convened for 18 August 2017, unless withdrawn or replaced.

All proxy forms, together with a proof of debt if one has not already been submitted, must be completed and returned by one of the methods set out below:

By post to: Beesley Corporate Solutions, Astute House, Wilmslow Road, Handforth, Cheshire, SK9 3HP

By fax to: 01625 531 263

By email to: donna@beesley.co.uk

Please note that, if you are sending forms by post, you must ensure that you have allowed sufficient time for the forms to be delivered to the address above by the times set out below. Unless the contrary is shown, an email is treated as delivered at 9am on the next business day after it was sent.

All proofs of debt must be delivered by: 4pm on 17 August 2017

If your proof of debt has not been received by the time specified above (whether submitted previously or as a result of this Notice), that creditor's vote will be disregarded. Any creditor whose debt is treated as a small debt in accordance with Rule 14.31(1) of the Rules must still deliver a proof if the creditor wishes to vote. A creditor who has opted out from receiving notices may nevertheless vote if the creditor also provides a proof by the time set out above.

Creditors who have taken all steps necessary to attend the physical meeting remotely under the arrangements made by the convener, but that do not enable them to attend the whole or part of the meeting, may complain under Rule 15.38 of the Rules. A complaint must be made as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than 4pm on the business day following the day on which the person was, or appeared to be, excluded; or where an indication is sought under Rule 15.37, the day on which the complainant received the indication.

A creditor may appeal a decision by application to the court in accordance with Rule 15.35 of the Rules. Any such appeal must be made not later than 21 days after the Decision Date.
