Result of General Meeting

Completion of acquisition of Airsight

 

Maestrano Group PLC (AIM: MNO), the open platform for master data management and business analytics, is pleased to announce that at the general meeting held earlier today, both resolutions put to shareholders were duly passed. As a result, the Company is now able to complete the acquisition of Airsight Holdings Pty Ltd ("Airsight") ("Acquisition").

 

The resolution numbered 2 set out in the Notice of General Meeting, being an ordinary resolution voted on by Independent Shareholders, to approve the waiver by the Panel of the obligations which would otherwise arise on the Concert Party to make a general offer under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code as a consequence of the issue of the Consideration Shares pursuant to the Acquisition, was passed on a poll with 11,834,431 votes for and 154,150 votes against.

 

As a result, the Company will shortly issue to the shareholders of Airsight 66,045,038 Maestrano ordinary shares of £0.01 each ("Ordinary Shares") ("Initial Consideration Shares"), with Admission of the Initial Consideration Shares to trading on AIM expected to occur on 11 November 2019.

 

In addition, on 30 September 2020, up to a further 7,338,337 Ordinary Shares ("Holdback Shares") will be issued to the Vendors, with the exact number to be issued calculated pro-rata against a revenue target for the total revenue achieved by Airsight products and services of A$1.5 million for the financial year ending 30 June 2020
