About this update from Antofagasta Plc
[{"type":"text","content":"\n Antofagasta PLC\n19 June 2006\n\n Antofagasta plc\n\n 4 for 1 Bonus Issue of Ordinary Shares\n\nLondon, 19 June 2006\n\nFollowing shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting and Class Meetings\non 14 June 2006, Antofagasta plc (the 'Company') confirms that it has issued, by\nway of a bonus issue, four new ordinary shares of 5p each for every one ordinary\nshare held by shareholders of the Company at the close of business on Friday 16\nJune 2006. Each new ordinary share will carry the same rights as an existing\nordinary share. Following this issue, the Company has 985,856,695 ordinary\nshares in issue.\n\nAs no similar bonus issue has taken place in respect of the 5% cumulative\npreference shares in the capital of the Company, the rights of each preference\nshare have been amended so that each preference share now carries 100 votes on a\npoll at any general meeting of the Company. This amendment maintains the voting\nrights of each preference share as a proportion of the total votes entitled to\nbe exercised at a general meeting.\n\n\n---------------------------- ------------------------\nEnquiries Issued by\nAntofagasta plc Bankside Consultants\nTel: +44 20 7808 0988 Tel: +44 20 7367 8873\nwww.antofagasta.co.uk \n \nDesmond O'Conor Keith Irons\nEmail: [email protected] Email: [email protected]\n\nHussein Barma Oliver Winters\nEmail: [email protected] Email: [email protected]\n\n\n\n\n This information is provided by RNS\n The company news service from the London Stock Exchange\n \n ","length":2058,"tagName":"div"}]
