De-listing and Tender Offer Update
Further to the recent announcements relating to the De-listing and Tender Offer on 19 March and 16 April, the Board still believes it is appropriate to effect a Tender Offer at 190 pence per share, which has the full support of Mr Scarr-Hall.
The Company is negotiating an increase in its banking facility to ensure sufficient headroom for its ongoing working capital needs post De-listing. The Board anticipate that the increased facility will be in place shortly, however it is likely this will not be in place by 14 May 2009 as previously announced.
The Board will post a circular to shareholders as soon as the new banking facility is in place.
Words and expressions in this announcement have the same meaning as the March Announcement.
