IRF European Finance Investments Ltd
("IRF" or the "Company")
Notice of Special General Meeting - Reduction of Share Premium
IRF European Finance Investments Ltd. announces that it will hold a special
general meeting on 21 May 2009 at the offices of the Investment Bank of Greece
S.A., Ground Floor - Auditorium, Kifissias Avenue 24-A, 151 25 Marousi, Greece
at 6 p.m. Greek time (12 p.m. Bermuda time) to seek shareholder approval for
reducing part of the Company's share premium.
The Company believes it is appropriate to make periodic distributions to its
shareholders. Notwithstanding the Company having sufficient cash reserves to
distribute funds to its shareholders, Bermuda law restricts the Company from
currently declaring a dividend. Therefore, the Company's board of directors has
determined that it would be in the best interests of its shareholders to propose
a reduction of the Company's share premium account and to make a payment to its
shareholders in connection therewith. The reduction of share premium is
conditional upon shareholder approval and compliance with the Bermuda Companies
Act.
It is proposed that IRF's share premium account be reduced from
US$520,344,639.17 to US$495,378,160.37, enabling an amount of US$0.20 per common
share to be paid to holders of the Company's common shares. Any reduction will
take effect on 26 May 2009. Payment would be made to shareholders of record on 8
May 2009, with payment expected on 9 June 2009.
Notice convening this special general meeting is being posted today to the
Company's shareholders and, for information purposes, to its warrant holders.
Copies of the notice are available, free of charge, from the Company's
registered office at Canon's Court, 22 Victoria Street, Hamilton, HM12, Bermuda
until the conclusion of the special general meeting.
