RNS Number : 9440Y Fortis Frontier PLC 01 April 2026
Fortis Frontier PLC
("Fortis Frontier" or the "Company")
Publication of Circular
Related Party Transaction
Notice of General Meeting
Fortis Frontier PLC (AIM: FORF), an AIM Rule 15 cash shell (formerly
MyHealthChecked PLC), announces that a Circular has today been published
containing the notice of a general meeting to be held at the offices of BPE
Solicitors LLP, St James House, St James Square, Cheltenham GL50 3PR at 10.30
a.m. on 28 April 2026, following the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting
scheduled for 10.00 a.m. that day.
Fortis Frontier PLC has entered into two conditional agreements, the EIS
Buyback Agreement and the GP Buyback Agreement (together the "Buyback
Agreements") to purchase 13,717,619 Ordinary Shares (the "Buyback") in
aggregate from Mercia at a price of 9.0 pence per Ordinary Share for a total
cost of approximately £1,234,586. The Buyback will be funded from the
Company's surplus cash balances.
The Circular provides Shareholders with the background and reasons for the
Buyback and explains why the Directors consider the Buyback to be in the best
interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Circular also
sets out the reasons why the Directors believe the terms of the Buyback are
fair and reasonable to the Independent Shareholders who will not participate
in the transaction, and to recommend that the Independent Shareholders vote in
favour of the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting.
The Directors, having carefully reviewed alternative uses for the Company's
cash resources, are firmly of the view that the Buyback as proposed is a good
use of capital at this time and will be value-enhancing for Shareholders.
Under Sections 693(1) and 694(2) of the Act, each of the Buyback Agreements is
required to be approved by the Independent Shareholders (i.e all shareholders
entitled to vote except for Mercia) by way of ordinary resolution. Therefore,
each of the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting is an ordinary
resolution pursuant to which the Independent Shareholders are being asked to
approve each of the Buyback Agreements for the purpose of section 694(2) of
the Act. Resolution 1 is to approve the EIS Buyback Agreement and Resolution 2
is to approve the GP Buyback Agreement.
Related Party Transaction
Mercia is a "substantial shareholder" of the Company for the purposes of the
AIM Rules for Companies, and is therefore treated as a "related party" under
the AIM Rules. The Buyback is therefore a related party transaction.
In accordance with AIM Rule 13, the Directors consider, having consulted with
the Company's nominated adviser, SPARK Advisory Partners Limited, that the
terms of the purchase of such Ordinary Shares pursuant to each of the Buyback
Agreements are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's Shareholders are
concerned.
Only registered shareholders are entitled to attend the General Meeting. Any
shareholders who wish to attend the meeting should email
fortisfrontier@walbrookpr.com (mailto:fortisfrontier@walbrookpr.com) with
their proof of shareholding to register for the meeting.
The Circular and Notice of General Meeting will be posted to Shareholders
today and will also be available shortly on the Company's website:

Unless otherwise defined, all definitions used in this announcement will have
the same meaning as described in the Circular.
