In an aftermarket filing on Wednesday, Allied Tech says it intends to cooperate fully with CAD on its investigation, as will Low.
Low is among the three directors recused from all decisions and recommendations of Allied Tech’s board, including acting as signatory to the accounts of the group and its subsidiaries.
