The new Ordinary Shares will be issued to the vendors and certain key employees of these subsidiaries, who will be subject to restrictions requiring them not to sell the new Ordinary Shares for at least one year and up to four years from issue.
The Company's issued share capital, following this issue of 13,471,067 new Ordinary Shares, will be 58,032,670 Ordinary Shares. The new Ordinary Shares will rank from admission pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue. The Company holds 237,000 Ordinary Shares in treasury at the date of this announcement. The total number of current voting rights in the Company will therefore be 57,795,670 shares.
The above figure (57,795,670 Ordinary Shares) may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
