Hello everyone, and welcome to the Malin Corporation PLC extraordinary general meeting. My name is Bethany, and I'll be your call operator today. I will now hand the floor over to Mr. Liam Daniel, Chair of Malin Corporation PLC. Liam, over to you.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Liam Daniel, Chair of Malin Corporation plc, and I would like to welcome you to the company's extraordinary general meeting. As chair, I wish to emphasize at the onset that the company considers the health and well-being of employees, shareholders, and other stakeholders as a top priority, and I can confirm that this meeting is being conducted in accordance with current government COVID-19 guidelines. On that note, I would like to welcome those shareholders who are joining us by teleconference in lieu of physically attending the EGM. Shareholders were invited to submit questions prior to the commencement of this meeting. However, no such questions were received. We have passed 10 A.M., which is the meeting time, and I confirm that we have a quorum present. I therefore declare the meeting open.
I'm joined here in the room and on conference line by Darragh Lyons, Chief Executive Officer, Fiona Dunlevy, Company Secretary, Patrick Jennings, Chief Financial Officer, and by other members of our board, Luke Corning, Dr. Jean-Michel Cosséry, Dr. Kirsten Drejer, and Rudy Mareel. In addition, we're joined by our legal representatives and the company registrar. The notice of the EGM was circulated to registered shareholders and published on the company's website on the twenty-third of November. Accordingly, I will take the notice as read. The notice of EGM contains details of the sole resolution being put forward for a vote at today's meeting, which is in respect of the tender offer announced by the company on the 23rd of November.
If approved, the tender offer will close for tenders next Tuesday, the 21st of December, with the results of the tender offer being announced on Wednesday, the 22nd. The tender offer resolution is being put forward as a special resolution, which in order to be passed, must be approved by a majority of not less than 75% of the members present and voting either in person or by proxy. I now propose that the resolution described in the notice of the EGM is put to a vote. In accordance with the company's constitution as Chair, I hereby demand voting by poll on the resolution. On a poll, every member has one vote for every share carrying voting rights of which that member is the holder. Any votes submitted by proxy, by the proxy voting deadline set out in the notice of meeting, will be included in the poll.
Where proxy votes have been submitted, giving me as Chair discretion to vote, I will vote in favor of the resolution. I therefore now request that Computershare commence the poll and following completion, deliver the results to our Company Secretary. The results of the poll will be published on the company's website, www.malinplc.com, and via the regulatory news service as soon as possible following the meeting. That concludes the formal business of the meeting. In concluding today's meeting, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Malin's employees for their hard work and dedication and my fellow board members for their commitment, contribution, and support throughout the year. Finally, I wish to thank you, our shareholders, for joining today's extraordinary general meeting. I hope you and your families stay safe and wish you all well for Christmas and for the New Year.
This now concludes the extraordinary general meeting. I therefore declare the meeting and the poll closed. Thank you and good morning.
