On October 26, 2021, Science Group plc announced that unfortunately, it appears that the TP Group plc Board has been reluctant to accept the clear majority vote of the Company's shareholders and the legitimate result of the General Meeting. For a business with documented financial challenges (prior to any involvement by Science Group), this situation cannot be in the best interests of TP Group, its employees, customers and shareholders. Science Group stated that the Company needs to have a positive forward-looking strategy unencumbered by (i) the failure of the unsuccessful defense; (ii) the historic poor performance of the Company; and (iii) the historic ineffective governance. As a result, Science Group requested that Holland step down as Chairman and a director. Regrettably, and despite unsuccessful attempts by Science Group over the weekend to try to engage in dialogue, on 24 October 24, 202, Holland advised that he will not step down. Therefore, Science Group has been left with no alternative but to requisition a general meeting to remove Holland as Chairman and director of the Company. The general meeting notice also includes a resolution that any director appointed between October 21, 2021 and the date of the general meeting also be removed.
