Ironveld general meeting to go ahead despite a request for withdrawal

London-listed iron-ore company Ironveld’s general meeting (GM), set for Friday August 12, will go ahead despite the company having received written communication from investment research firm Align Research director Richard Jennings requesting that the GM be stayed. With the GM having already been convened by the Ironveld board of directors, and in line with common law practice, as well as the company's articles of association, the GM cannot be withdrawn or cancelled, Ironveld said on August 4.
