Go Life International Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Mauritius, has set the stage for a significant transformation by changing its name to “Numeral Limited.” The proposed rebranding is driven by a desire to better reflect the nature of the company’s business operations.

A Shift in Identity

The decision to change the company’s name is a pivotal moment in its journey. Go Life International Limited, which currently holds a primary listing on the Stock Exchange Mauritius (SEM) with the share code “GOLI.N0000” and a secondary listing on the AltX of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) with the share code “GLI,” has decided to undergo a fundamental transformation by adopting the name “Numeral Limited.”

This change represents a shift in identity and, for South African shareholders who have invested in the company, it is a moment of anticipation and significance.

A New Dawn: Numeral Limited

The proposed name, “Numeral Limited,” comes with a short name “NUMERAL” and an alpha code “XII.” While this might seem like a simple change of letters and characters, it signifies a new beginning for the company, one that reflects its evolving business focus.

Numeral Limited is embracing the future with a name that carries a sense of numerical precision and mathematical certainty. It speaks to a vision of growth, transformation, and adaptability in an ever-changing business landscape.

Shareholder Approval: A Critical Step

The change in the company’s name, though decided by the board of directors, is subject to shareholder approval. The board recognizes the significance of this decision and believes that it should be ratified by the very people who have invested their trust and capital in the company.

In light of this, a general meeting is scheduled to take place electronically on Wednesday, 22 November 2023, to consider and pass a special resolution related to the proposed name change. This meeting is a crucial milestone in the company’s transformation journey and provides an opportunity for shareholders to have their say in shaping the company’s future.
