Results of AGM
Kore Potash plc, the potash development company whose flagship asset is the 97%-owned Sintoukola Potash Project (“Kola” or the “Project”), is pleased to announce
that the resolutions put to its Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) held earlier today, Friday 28 June 2019, were duly passed.
The resolutions were all passed on a show of hands with exception of Resolution 12 in which a poll was taken and was passed by the requisite majority.
The following statistics, as detailed in the attached Annexure A, are provided in respect of each motion on the Agenda of Kore Potash plc’s AGM.
In addition, shareholders are advised in terms of Rule 3.6.16 of the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange and paragraph 3.78 of the JSE Listings
Requirements that BDO LLP (“BDO”) has been appointed as the Company's external auditors with effect from 28 June 2019, with Matt Crane as the designated
audit partner, replacing Deloitte LLP (“Deloitte”).
The change in audit firm was initiated by Kore Potash as part of a review process conducted by the Audit & Risk Committee in which select firms were invited
to quote on providing audit services to Kore Potash. The decision to change auditors was not the result of any disagreement between the Company and
Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. The appointment of BDO will
allow the Company to maintain a quality auditor while achieving its objective of reducing costs. Kore Potash would like to take this opportunity to express its
sincere gratitude to the Deloitte team for their services rendered to the Company over the past years.
