Blancco Technology Group plc (the "Company")
Cancellation of Own Shares and Total Voting Rights
Further to the announcement made by the Company on 6 May 2016 announcing the results of the Tender Offer the Company today announces, in accordance with its intention outlined in the Tender Offer circular dated 6 April 2016 (the "Tender Offer Circular"), the cancellation of the 20,833,333 Ordinary Shares validly tendered by Eligible Shareholders and accepted by the Company as part of the Tender Offer (the "Cancellation"). These 20,833,333 Ordinary Shares have been cancelled (and none have been transferred to treasury).
Following the Cancellation, and in accordance with DTR 5.6.1A and AIM Rule 17, the Company's Issued Ordinary Share Capital consists of 58,189,266 Ordinary Shares, all of which carry voting rights. Therefore, the total number of voting rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares in the Company is 58,189,266.
The above figure (58,189,266) may be used by Ordinary Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Ordinary Shares to the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Capitalised terms used in this announcement have the same meaning as ascribed to them in the Tender Offer Circular.
