Result of Annual General Meeting and Capital Reduction
Printing.com Plc (AIM: PDC) is pleased to announce that all of the resolutions put to the Annual General Meeting held today were approved by the requisite majority of Shareholders.
In addition to the ordinary business at the AGM, the special resolution relating to the Capital Reduction to create positive distributable reserves in the Company through the cancellation of the share premium account, as described in the Company's announcement of 26 June 2012, was approved.
Following the passing of the Resolution, it is proposed to commence the proceedings to obtain the confirmation of the Court for the Capital Reduction as soon as possible. It is anticipated that the final hearing at which the Court will confirm the Proposals will take place on or around 8 August 2012. In seeking this confirmation, the Company may be required to give such undertakings or other form of creditor protection as the Court may require for the protection of the Company's creditors at the Effective Date. However, the Company's only creditor relates to its professional costs of the Capital Reduction and the relevant creditor has already given its consent to the cancellation of the share premium account. The Board is therefore confident that no further undertakings or protections will be required. In order for the share premium account cancellation then to become effective, the Court order confirming the cancellation must be filed with Companies House, usually 2-3 days after the date of the hearing.
Expected Timetable of Principal Events
Court Hearing to confirm Capital Reduction 8 August 2012
Expected effective date for Capital Reduction 11 August 2012
These dates are dependent on, amongst other things, the date upon which the Court confirms the Capital Reduction. The Court hearing dates may be subject to postponement by the Court.
