The company made a call for the balance of the issue price on 3 September 2021. Amounts due on the call were received for 7,400,000 ordinary shares by the due date 17th September 2021. A shareholder who was allotted 100,000 ordinary shares failed to settle the call money.
On 10th October 2021 the management of the company decided to forfeit the 100,000 ordinary shares from the defaulting shareholder. The forfeited shares were reissued on 20th October 2021 at a price of $7.40 per share to be paid for in full on application. The reissued shares were taken up by a shareholder who paid for the shares on the due date 30th October 2021.
