Annual Financial Report

18 Mar 2019 17:26

RNS Number : 2153T
Croda International PLC
18 March 2019
 

Croda International Plc - Annual Financial Report, Notice of Annual General Meeting and details of Special Dividend and Share Consolidation

 

On 26 February 2019, the Board of Croda International Plc (the "Company") released the Company's preliminary announcement of annual results for the year ended 31 December 2018 and announced its intention to return approximately £150 million to shareholders via a special dividend with a share consolidation (the "Announcement"). Further to the Announcement, the Company confirms that the following documents have been published and are being mailed to shareholders today:

 

- Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2018

- Notice of Annual General Meeting (the "Notice")

- Sustainability Report

 

Shareholders who have elected not to receive hard copy documents will receive a letter from the Company advising that the above listed documents are now available.

 

The Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held at 12 noon on 24 April 2019 at the Pavilions of Harrogate, Great Yorkshire Showground, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, HG2 8QZ.

 

Special Dividend

 

The amount of the special dividend is 115 pence per ordinary share of 10.357143 pence each ("Existing Ordinary Share"). If shareholders approve the special dividend, it will be paid on 30 May 2019 to all ordinary shareholders who are on the Register of Members at close of business on 26 April 2019.

 

Share Consolidation

 

It is proposed that the payment of the special dividend be accompanied by a consolidation of Existing Ordinary Shares on the basis of 41 new ordinary shares of 10.609756 pence each ("New Ordinary Shares") for every 42 Existing Ordinary Shares. A resolution to effect the special dividend and share consolidation will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting, details of which are set out in the Notice.

 

As at the close of business on 6 March 2019 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of the Notice), the total amount of the special dividend was equivalent to 2.37 per cent. of the market capitalisation of the Company. The proposed share consolidation is intended to maintain comparability, as far as possible, of the Company's share price before and after the special dividend by reducing the number of Existing Ordinary Shares in issue by approximately the same percentage.

 

As all Existing Ordinary Shares in the Company will be consolidated, each shareholder's percentage holding in the total ordinary issued share capital of the Company immediately before and after the implementation of the share consolidation will (subject to any fractional entitlements or DRIP elections) remain unchanged. Fractional entitlements to New Ordinary Shares arising from the share consolidation will be aggregated and sold in the market on behalf of the relevant shareholders, the proceeds of which are expected to be sent by 17 May 2019.
