On October 2, 2012, the Board of Directors of Independence Resources PLC (the “Company”) approved holding the Annual Shareholders' Meeting at 12:00 p.m. local time on Saturday, November 3, 2012, at Davenport Hotel, 10 South Post Street, Spokane, Washington. The Annual Shareholders’ Meeting was scheduled to be held on June 30, 2012; however, the accounts that were to be approved by the shareholders were not finalized.

At the meeting, the Company will elect two directors and ratify the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in the United States and its statutory auditors in the United Kingdom for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. The shareholders will also vote on a proposal approved by the Board of Directors to, subject to the passing of the resolution below as a Special Resolution, sub-divide each of the Ordinary Shares of 40 pence each in the capital of the Company in issue immediately prior to the commencement of the Annual General Meeting into four ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the capital of the Company, having the same rights, being subject to the same restrictions and ranking on the same basis as the existing ordinary shares of 40 pence each in the capital of the Company (save as to nominal value), and thirty six deferred shares of 1 pence each, having the rights and being subject to the restrictions set out in the resolution below. The Board of Directors also proposes, as a Special Resolution, to amend the Articles of Association of the Company by:

"Deferred Share means the deferred shares of £0.01 nominal value each in the capital of the Company with the rights as per Article 67.4" to be inserted after the definition of "Company"; and

(a)      does not entitle its holder to receive any dividend or distribution declared, made or paid or any return of capital and does not entitle its holder to any further or other right of participation in the assets of the Company; and

(b)      entitles its holder to participate on a return of assets on a winding up of the Company, such entitlement to be limited to the repayment of the amount paid up or credited as paid up on such Deferred Share but only if the holders of each Ordinary Share then in issue shall have received a distribution of at least £1,000,000 per Ordinary Share held; and

(c)      does not entitle its holder to receive a share certificate in respect of his or her shareholding, save as required by law; and

(d)      does not entitle its holder to receive notice of, nor attend, speak or vote at, any general meeting of the Company; and

(e)      shall not be transferable at any time other than with the prior written consent of the Directors,
