Accordingly, the Proposals set out in the Admission Document are now expected to complete, conditional on Admission, on 19 February 2024.
Change of name
The Company's change of name to "Sorted Group Holdings Plc" and change of AIM ticker symbol to "SORT" will take place once Companies House has issued a new certificate of incorporation reflecting the change of name. The change of name is expected to become effective imminently and the Company will make a further announcement following the completion of the change of name.
Change of website
In order to reflect the Company's new name, the Company's website will be changed to www.sorted.com with effect from Admission. The information required pursuant to AIM Rule 26 will be available at this address.
Share Consolidation
As a result of the passing of the Resolutions, the Share Consolidation will become effective as of 6.00 p.m. on 16 February 2024 and every 625 Existing Ordinary Shares will be consolidated into one New Ordinary Share with a nominal value of 62.5p each. Accordingly, the New Ordinary Shares, including the Subscription Shares, the Remuneration Shares and the CLN Shares are expected to be admitted to trading on AIM with effect from 8.00 a.m. on 19 February 2024 under the new ISIN and SEDOL of GB00BPDX2041 and BPDX204 respectively.
Application for Admission and Total Voting Rights
Application has been made for the Enlarged Share Capital of 7,639,705 New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is expected that Admission will become effective on 19 February 2024.
Following Admission, the Company will have 7,639,705 Ordinary Shares in issue, each with one voting right. There are no shares held in treasury. Therefore, the Company's total number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights will be 7,639,705. This figure may be used by shareholders from Admission as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
