Court injunction delays Blue Gold (BGLWW) EGM amid share dispute
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Blue Gold Limited reports that on September 5, 2025, the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands granted an interim injunction to two shareholders, RCF VII Sponsor LLC and S&R Capital Ltd, temporarily preventing the company from holding its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders that had been scheduled for September 8, 2025. A court hearing is set for October 2, 2025, after which the injunction may be continued, discharged or varied.
The shareholders’ underlying lawsuit seeks a declaration that the shares they received when Blue Gold became public are “Unrestricted Shares” under the company’s memorandum and articles of association. Blue Gold states it believes this claim has no merit and plans to vigorously defend the case. The company discloses that the action presents a reasonable possibility of loss, though it cannot estimate the amount. In response to the injunction, the board has postponed the extraordinary general meeting indefinitely and has posted a notice of postponement on its corporate website.

Cayman injunction halts Blue Gold EGM amid share-status dispute.
The interim injunction from the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands stops Blue Gold Limited from proceeding with its extraordinary general meeting that was scheduled for September 8, 2025. The plaintiffs, RCF VII Sponsor LLC and S&R Capital Ltd, argue both that meeting procedures and the class of voting shareholders were improper and that the meeting’s purpose would frustrate their previously filed legal action.
The pending lawsuit seeks a declaration that the plaintiffs’ shares are “Unrestricted Shares” under Blue Gold’s governing documents, which could affect how and when those shares may be traded or voted. Blue Gold states it believes the claim lacks merit and intends to vigorously defend it. The company also acknowledges a reasonable possibility of loss but does not quantify potential exposure in this disclosure.
From a governance and risk perspective, the indefinite postponement of the EGM and the court’s involvement introduce uncertainty around shareholder decision-making and the treatment of the plaintiffs’ holdings. Investors may pay particular attention to the October 2, 2025 hearing, where the court will decide whether to continue, discharge, or vary the injunction, as that outcome will shape the timing and conditions for any future shareholder meeting on the affected matters.
