Delta International Property Holdings Ltd. – Notice of SGM and Discontinuance in Bermuda

Hamilton, Bermuda – 01 October, 2014 – In a filing with the Bermuda Stock Exchange (“BSX”), Delta International Property Holdings Ltd. (the “Company” or “Delta International”; Ticker: DLI.BH), gave notice of a Special General Meeting (“SGM”) and proposed discontinuance in Bermuda and continuation in Mauritius. The filing stated:

 

“DISCONTINUANCE IN BERMUDA AND REGISTRATION AND CONTINUATION IN MAURITIUS; NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

 

 

1.         INTRODUCTION

 

As communicated to investors at the time of the company’s listings on the Bermuda Stock Exchange (“BSX”) in July 2012 and the Alternative Exchange of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (“JSE”) in August 2012, the company’s primary objective is to invest opportunistically in real estate assets that will provide strong sustainable income from high quality tenants. In furtherance of these objectives and under the guidance of the new board of directors and investment manager, the company has embarked on a strategy of acquiring a substantial portfolio of African real estate assets (this would exclude assets situated in South Africa).

 

2.         DISCONTINUATION IN BERMUDA AND CONTINUATION IN MAURITIUS

 

Given that the company intends a substantial investment into Africa, it has been suggested that it would be in the best interests of the company and its investors if the company were discontinued as a Bermuda exempt company and continue instead as a Global Business Company in Mauritius, to take advantage of the experience of Mauritian service providers in doing business in Africa, the geographical and time-zone proximity of Mauritius to Africa, as well as the many double taxation treaties negotiated between Mauritius and various African jurisdictions in which the company intends to invest.

 

3.         DELISTING FROM THE BSX AND LISTING ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF MAURITIUS

 

In the event that the company discontinues as a Bermuda exempt company and is successfully registered and continued in Mauritius, Shareholders are advised that the company proposes to apply to the Stock Exchange of Mauritius (“SEM”) for a primary listing of its securities in the Official List of the SEM and, concurrently, to apply for a delisting of its securities on the BSX. The directors of the company envisage that a listing on the SEM will provide access to a global investor base of managed funds, high net worth individuals and other sources of capital who view Mauritius as an attractive investment destination.

 

4.         CHANGES TO THE BOARD

 

Shareholders are advised that, upon discontinuation of the company in Bermuda, the following directors will resign as directors of the company:

 

      I.        James Keyes; and

 

    II.        David Brown.

 

It is proposed that, subject to the registration and continuation of the company in Mauritius and receipt of the necessary shareholder approval thereto, the following person will be elected as a director of the company:

 

      I.        Maheshwar Doorgakant – Mr Doorgakant is the Managing Director of Apex Fund Services (Mauritius) Ltd. Mr Doogakant has extensive experience and knowledge on key industries in Africa and its principal capital markets.

 

5.         CHANGES TO MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND REGISTERED ADDRESS    

 

Shareholders are advised that, contemporaneous with discontinuation of the company in Bermuda and subject to the registration and continuation of the company in Mauritius, the company will appoint Apex Fund Services (Mauritius) Ltd of 4th Floor, Raffles Tower, 19 Cybercity, Ebene, Mauritius as resident management company in Mauritius.

 

Further, the company’s registered address will be changed to 4th Floor, Raffles Tower, 19 Cybercity, Ebene, Mauritius.

 

6.         ADOPTION OF A NEW CONSTITUTION

 

Shareholders are advised that, following discontinuation of the company in Bermuda and subject always to the registration and continuation of the company in Mauritius, the company will adopt a new constitution, in accordance with the laws of Mauritius, with effect from the date of the provisional registration of the Company in Mauritius.

 

7.         NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

 

Shareholders are advised that a special general meeting of the company’s shareholders is to be convened at the company’s registered office, Williams House, 3rd Floor, 20 Reid Street, Hamilton, HM11, Bermuda on Thursday, 23 October 2014 at 10:00 am (Atlantic Daylight Time) for the consideration of shareholder resolutions in the furtherance of the proposed changes to the company’s domicile as set out above, which resolutions (if passed) will have the following effects:
