Ahead of the PLC AGM held on 6th December
2007, the Trusts' Boards wrote to all members seeking a mandate
on how to vote the Trusts' shareholdings.
A total of 129 members of the Founders Trust voted together with
111 members of the Supporters Trust.
A simple analysis of the returns received from members and the
votes cast for each resolution are shown in the tables below -
a description of each resolution and the advise provided by the
Trusts' Boards is provided after the tables. A report on the PLC
AGM will be available as a separate News item.
On the basis of the mandate given, the Trusts cast their votes
in respect of their shareholdings FOR resolutions 1, 2, 3, 4 and
5.
The Supporters Trust holds 100,000 Ordinary Shares in the PLC.
The Founders Trust holds 105 Founder Shares in the PLC (as at
6th December 2007).
Democracy only works well if people are engaged and, therefore,
the Trusts' Boards wish to thank all the Trust members who provided
mandates.

The five resolutions, together with the
advice from the Trusts' Board, were:
Resolution 1: To receive and sign the Minutes of the 2006 Annual
General Meeting.
The Minutes appear to be an accurate record of the 2006 AGM and
include the questions that the Trusts asked at the 2006 AGM in
February 2007 together with the answers that were given.
The Trusts' Boards advise shareholders to vote for receiving
and signing the minutes.
Resolution 2: To receive and adopt the report of the directors
and the audited accounts for the period ended 30th June 2007 (previously
circulated).
The accounts have been audited and are likely to be accurate,
notwithstanding the poor financial performance.
The Trusts' Boards advise shareholders to vote for receiving
the accounts.
Resolution 3:
To re-elect as a Director Mr. Stephen Edward Hayes, who is retiring
by rotation.
Mr. Hayes has made a significant personal investment in the Club
both in the form of shares and loan notes.
Together with the other directors of the PLC, Mr. Hayes is responsible
for the current situation at the Club. It is appropriate that
Mr. Hayes continue as a director to ensure that the Club is financially
viable.
The Trusts' Boards advise shareholders to vote for re-electing
Mr. Hayes as a Director.
Resolution 4: To re-appoint HW, Chartered Accounts as auditors
of the Company and for their remuneration to be determined by
the Directors.
HW, Chartered Accountants are a reputable firm of accountants,
who can be expected to provide reliable accounts for use by shareholders.
The Trusts' Boards advise shareholders to vote for re-appointing
HW, Chartered Accountants as auditors.
Resolution 5: Special Resolution: Article 13 Sub-Clause 13.3.1
Variations of Founder Share Rights (Page 12). Delete "Causeway
Stadium" Insert "Adams Park"
This is a change that the Trusts requested to correctly name the
stadium.
The Trusts' Boards advise shareholders to vote for replacing
Causeway Stadium with Adams Park.
The Trusts' Boards hope that you found the comments and advice
from the Trusts helpful.
Further, Trusts' Boards hope that, by seeking a mandate from members,
the Trusts are seen to be operating in a democratic fashion.
If you are not a member of BOTH the Supporters and Founders Trusts
then please join BOTH (subject to eligibility).
This is the best way to stay well informed about this and future
debates at the Club and to ensure that your voice is heard on
matters important to the future of the Club.
