Capital Reduction Update
Further to the publication on 10 May 2022 of the Notice of Annual General Meeting (the "Notice"), and the passing of all the required Resolutions at the Annual General Meeting of the Company on 9 June 2022, the Company announces that the final hearing in the Court process to convert its Euro 14,734,000 merger reserve into a distributable reserve is expected to be held on 11 October 2022 (the "Court Hearing").
As described in the Notice, an issue of bonus shares, each having a nominal value to be determined as at the date of the Bonus Issue (each a "Capital Reduction Share"), shall occur on the evening of 10 October 2022 (being the day before the Court Hearing). Accordingly, the record time for the bonus issue shall be 6.00 p.m. on 10 October 2022 (the "Record Time"). The nominal value of each Capital Reduction Share shall be determined as described in the Notice.
One Capital Reduction Share shall be issued for each ordinary share of 10p in issue as at the Record Time. In addition, and as described in the Notice, the Capital Reduction Shares will not be admitted to trading on AIM or to trading on any regulated market. No share certificates will be issued in respect of the Capital Reduction Shares. The Capital Reduction Shares will have extremely limited rights. In particular, the Capital Reduction Shares will carry no rights to vote, no rights to participate in the profits of the Company and no rights to participate in the Company's assets save on a winding-up. The Capital Reduction Shares will be transferable, but it is not expected that any market in them will develop and it is anticipated that the Court will confirm their cancellation at the Court Hearing on the day immediately after the date on which they have been issued.
The Company will announce the outcome of the Court Hearing on 12 October 2022. Full details of the Capital Reduction are set out in the notice of AGM which was sent to Shareholders. The notice of AGM is also available for inspection on the Kistos website, https://kistosplc.com/.
