BVS-FA-COMP-01-2223-CP

IN THE MATTER OF SYNERGY CAR RENTALS LIMITED

____________________________________

INSTRUCTIONS TO COUNSEL TO ADVISE


____________________________________

Counsel will find herewith:

1. Articles of Association of Synergy Car Rentals Limited.


2. Draft statement.
3. Relevant correspondence and notices.
4. Summary of management accounts.

Those Instructing have been consulted by Mr. Freeman who is a director of Synergy Car
Rentals Limited. The Company was formed with three directors who were also the
shareholders. In addition to Mr Freeman, these were Mr Freeman's son-in-law, Mr Edward
Reynolds, and Mr Freeman's sister, Mrs Chester (now deceased).

It would appear that the Company has been run on a very informal basis since its inception.
Mr Freeman understood that Mr Reynolds and Mrs Chester were doing all that was necessary
including keeping and filing of all accounts and company documents. Mr Freeman is aware
that, given he was a director, he has perhaps not done as much as he should have,
particularly after the death of his sister. Mr Freeman was unaware that private companies no
longer need to hold AGMs under Part 13 of the Companies Act 2006 and, when told about it,
said that he regarded AGMs as an unnecessary formality. He also assumed that formal
Board meetings were not necessary as he and Mr Reynolds, at least in the early days,
discussed how the business was running on an informal basis.

Over the years the Company has become financially successful, as can be seen from the
summary of the accounts enclosed. Mr Freeman had no cause for concern until late autumn
2022. He was then away until mid-February 2023 and his concern has grown, firstly because
there appears to be a distinct downturn in turnover in the last 18 months or so and, secondly,
because he has recently received notice of a meeting to remove him as director.

In respect of the downturn in business, various searches were made, and Instructing Solicitors
have found that a company with the name Seasons Car Rentals Limited was incorporated in
November 2021. Its registered address is 18 Eldridge Way, Bournemouth BM3 6HN. That
company has, from the documents filed at Companies House, three directors (Mr E.
Reynolds, Ms E Honorie and Mr C. Partridge), who hold 50, 25 and 25 shares each. As at the
date of these Instructions no filed accounts are available for this company.

Mr Freeman has recently visited the premises of Seasons Car Rentals which are only about
half a mile from Synergy Car Rentals. He did not go in as he did not want the others to know
he knew about this business. However, he noted from the cars parked on site and the signs
displayed that Seasons Car Rentals was renting cars very similar to those rented by Synergy
Car Rentals (generally middle range cars). He also happened to bump into a man whom he
recognised as a regular customer at Synergy Car Rentals when it was still at 18 High Street,
Bournemouth. He started a conversation with him and discovered he had recently begun to
rent from Seasons Car Rentals as the result of a conversation he had had with Edward
Reynolds who had suggested he move to Seasons Car Rentals. Mr Freeman did get the
man's name and phone number. He told the man that he would like more information about
the quality of the Seasons Car Rental cars.

Page 2 of 15
© City, University of London 2023
BVS-FA-COMP-01-2223-CP

Mr Freeman is now convinced that, probably from the time that Synergy Car Rentals moved to
the new premises, Mr Reynolds has purposely been keeping him in the dark about the
business, effectively excluding him from it. He really has no further interest in the business
and would like to extract his share of the money from it. However, he is concerned because
his share in the business has been watered down by the issue of shares to two new
shareholders without his knowledge or consent. He is also concerned that, given the reduced
turnover, in his view probably due to diversion of business to Seasons Car Rentals, the value
of the business has also reduced.

Counsel will see from the correspondence enclosed, the response to queries put to Mr
Reynolds by Instructing Solicitors. Aside from this, there has been no other contact with Mr
Reynolds or any of the others involved. Before he takes any action, Mr Freeman would like
advice as to his options including what approach the court is likely to take if it does order the
others to buy him out, particularly given his concerns set out above.

Counsel is therefore instructed to advise as to the options open to Mr Freeman, his chances
of success and the evidence he would need to prepare a case to give him the best possible
outcome.

DRAFT STATEMENT OF PAUL FREEMAN

1. I have been in business in motor vehicle repairs for the last 30 years. My business operates
from 18 High Street, Bournemouth, where I have about 10 people working for my company,
Freeman Motors Ltd. Edward Reynolds was married to my second daughter, Elvira. He had
been working for an engineering company but had been made redundant when it closed
down. He was out of work for about 18 months, and they were finding it increasingly difficult to
make ends meet. I therefore decided to help Edward by setting up a car rental business for
him.

2. About £80,000 in capital was required to buy various items of office equipment, to make
initial payments on a number of vehicles, and to provide some working capital. I provided
£60,000 of this. I raised £30,000 of that by re-mortgaging my home. I also obtained an
unsecured bank loan from Regional Bank Plc for £30,000. Edward and Elvira could not raise
any money on their home, which at that time was in negative equity. I had banked with the
Regional Bank for many years, and I introduced Edward to the branch manager. Edward
never told me how he raised the rest of the finance, but I assume it was by an overdraft or a
term loan.

3. I had some previous dealings with EasiPay Finance Limited, who provided finance through
leasing agreements for an initial fleet of 15 vehicles. I let Edward operate the car rental
business from part of my site at 18 High Street. Edward arranged for the setting up of a new
company, Synergy Car Rentals Limited. I left him to deal with the details, as I had no reason
not to trust him.

4. We agreed that we would keep things simple and have £100 share capital, being 100 £1
shares. As I was providing a substantial part of the capital of the company and Edward was
going to provide some capital and run the business, we decided that we should have equal
shares. My sister, Aisha Chester, agreed to act as the company secretary and we agreed that
she should have 10 shares. My son was just finishing university. He had always got on well
with Edward and we both thought he might be interested in joining the business. Edward and I
therefore agreed that we would not issue all the shares in case my son was interested and
wanted to join us. Edward and I each therefore had 30 shares. That left 30 shares unissued
which could be available if my son were interested. In the event he moved to Australia as
soon as he left school and is now established there.

5. The three of us, Edward, Aisha and I were also to be the directors. It was agreed that I
would be paid £500 per month for the first two years of trading, then rising to £750 per month
for the next two years. We also agreed that, as Edward would be running the business, he
should have reasonable drawings from the profits. We thought this was likely to be about
£1200 a month to start, but that it would rise as the business expanded. We expected profits
to increase as the business became established, and with the acquisition of further vehicles.
We agreed to review the position after two years which we did. At that time, Edward was
drawing about £1750 a month which seemed reasonable to me. We agreed that we would
review the position again in another two years. It was clear that much of the profits in the first
few years would have to be put back into the business to develop it.

6. The car rental business expanded, and in early 2021 it moved out to bigger premises on 11
Rover Road, Bournemouth. Edward and Elvira had divorced in September 2020 and my sister
died in June 2021. Up until that point there were no company meetings, and the business and
affairs of the company were run entirely by Edward. However, I understand that my sister did
sign a number of documents relating to official matters, such as annual returns and statutory
accounts etc. Since the divorce, the move and my sister's death, I have seen very little of
Edward. I continued to be paid the agreed sum regularly and assumed things were going
well. I called Edward a few times over the summer of 2022 to try to get together to discuss
Page 4 of 15
© City, University of London 2023
BVS-FA-COMP-01-2223-CP

how the business was going, but he always seemed too busy. The review of our positions did
not take place.

7. In September 2022 I received a notification of a meeting of the company for the


appointment of two additional directors and for one of them to be made the company
secretary. I thought this a little odd as we had never done things formally before. However, I
suddenly realised that the company needed a secretary, as there had been none since my
sister died. I assumed that my sister's son, Thomas, who had inherited her shares, would also
attend. The notice convening the meeting described the two new proposed directors as
already being shareholders. I assumed that Edward had at some point transferred some of his
shares to these new people. I do not know Mr Partridge. I understand that Ms Honorie is
Edward's girlfriend. Before the meeting I phoned Thomas to check if he would be attending
the meeting. His flatmate said that he was currently travelling abroad and expected to be gone
for a year or two.

8. After the meeting was formally closed, I asked Edward for the up-to-date management
accounts, which he promised to send me, and for details of the current shareholdings. I
pointed out that I had not been informed about Mr Partridge and Ms Honorie being made
shareholders. I was amazed when he told me that he had issued the 30 previously unissued
shares to them, each one being issued with 15 shares. He said that the business was getting
bigger. He knew that my son would now never be involved and he felt that Ms Honorie could
help him. Mr Partridge is her cousin. He did confirm that my sister's 10 shares are now held by
Thomas.

9. I was concerned about what I had been told at the meeting but very shortly after the
meeting I heard that my son in Australia had been in a serious accident. I therefore went out
to see him. Fortunately, he recovered, and I returned to the UK in February 2023.

10. On my return I phoned Edward a number of times but he would not return my calls. When
I went round to see him, he was always too busy to talk. I did eventually get copies of the
management accounts and was shocked to see the figures. I do not understand why there
has been a drop in the turnover for 2021/22. The business was successful from the start. It
has expanded and I believe that it now has a large fleet of vehicles. There is no way that the
turnover would be as low as these accounts show with so many vehicles. I had always trusted
Edward and let him get on with running the business. However, I think something fishy is
going on now. I believe that Ms Honorie and her cousin are involved. I want all of this
investigated.

Dear Sirs,

Re: Synergy Car Rentals Limited

We are instructed on behalf of Mr Paul Freeman, in relation to his interest in Synergy Car
Rentals Limited.

Our client is concerned about irregularities in the running of the Company. We understand that
shares were allotted to Ms Honorie and Mr Partridge without any consultation with our client or
convening a board meeting to approve the allotment. The allotment of shares therefore
appears to be invalid. We also understand that Mr Freeman has not been given notice of any
meetings of the Company. Kindly ensure that he is duly notified of all future meetings.

Our client is also concerned by the figures provided from the accounts. These show a distinct
drop in turnover from 2021/22. Our client is aware that the business did extremely well in the
first three years, so well that it moved to new premises. Our client invested a considerable
sum of money in this Company and wants explanations for the drop in turnover.

Without prejudice to the above, it is our view that the affairs of the Company are being carried
on without proper regard for our client's interest in the Company, and unless we hear from you
in the next 14 days with an adequate response to this letter, further steps may be taken to
protect our client's interest without further notice to you.

This is an important letter. You may wish to take legal advice. If proceedings are commenced
legal costs will be incurred, which you may be ordered to pay.

A letter in similar terms is being sent to Mr Reynolds [not reproduced].

Yours faithfully,

Reagan & Cross

Date: 5th April 2023

Dear Sirs,

Your client: Mr Paul Freeman

Your letter of the 13th March 2023 discloses a number of misunderstandings.

In early 2021, shortly after the business moved to Rover Road, it was agreed that Ms Honorie
and Mr Partridge should be brought into the Company as shareholders. This was done, and a
copy of the minutes of the board meeting held on 10th May 2021 is enclosed. I am sure your
client will recognise his sister's signature on the minutes.

Regarding Board meetings, these have always been held in a perfectly proper manner and
will continue to be so. One of the few problems of this Company has been that your client has
not always attended Board meetings. Had he done so he would no doubt have fully
understood the actual position.

Until the recent meeting to appoint the new directors, at which your client was present, there
has never been any need to hold General Meetings of the Company.

Yours faithfully
