AIM: DX.
DX (Group) plc
("DX" or the "Company")
Withdrawal of Requisition of General Meeting
Further to the announcement of 20 March 2017 of the receipt of a notice on behalf of Gatemore Capital Management LLP ("Gatemore") requisitioning a general meeting, DX confirms that it has received a further notice on behalf of Gatemore withdrawing this requisition.
The board will continue to progress its discussions with John Menzies plc ("John Menzies") regarding a potential combination of the Company with John Menzies's Distribution Division as announced on 31 March 2017.
As previously stated, the boards of DX and John Menzies currently anticipate that any proposed transaction would be completed during the summer of 2017. Further announcements will be made in due course regarding the progress of the proposed transaction.
As noted in that announcement the proposed transaction would constitute a reverse takeover by DX in accordance with Rule 14 of the AIM Rules for Companies and the ordinary shares in DX will therefore remain suspended from trading on AIM, pending either publication of an admission document containing detailed information on the proposed transaction or the termination of discussions regarding the proposed transaction.
