Members keen to invest in the future of Exeter Rugby Club will be given the chance to see a detailed presentation on how to purchase preference shares in the club at next week's Special General Meeting to be held at Sandy Park.

At the club's recent AGM held on September 26, club members overwhelmingly approved motions authorising the issue of preference shares in Exeter Rugby Group Ltd in order to finance the further development of Sandy Park Stadium.

Now, on Wednesday evening (7.30pm), members and small investors will be able to gain a full insight into how to purchase preference shares in the club; how those very preference shares work; as well as have the opportunity to ask or have answered questions of a local independent financial advisor.

With a lot of interest having been expressed by members, Exeter Rugby Club chief executive and chairman Tony Rowe is keen for all those interested in purchasing preference shares to attend Wednesday's meeting.

"We are now at a very important phase in the future development of Exeter Rugby Club and the Sandy Park Stadium," said Rowe. "Already we have been given a clear indication from the membership that are in favour of issuing the preference shares, but as a club we are aware there are still many questions that some members would like answered.

"Wednesday's meeting, we believe, will offer those members the perfect opportunity to learn all that needs to be learnt in regards to the issuing of the shares, whilst at the same time allowing those people still keen to learn more the opportunity to have their questions answered."
