PROACTIS Holdings Plc
Result of General Meeting
and Total Voting Rights
PROACTIS Holdings Plc ("PROACTIS" or the "Company"), the specialist spend management solution provider, is pleased to announce that all the Resolutions put to Shareholders at the General Meeting of the Company, held earlier today, were duly passed.
The Resolutions were required to approve, inter alia, the acquisition of Perfect Commerce, LLC (the "Acquisition") for an aggregate consideration of up to $132.5 million (approximately £102.4 million), together with the issue of Placing Shares to raise gross proceeds of £70.0 million pursuant to the Placing. The Acquisition constitutes a reverse takeover by the Company under Rule 14 of the AIM Rules and therefore required approval by Shareholders at a General Meeting.
Application has been made by the Company for the 42,424,243 Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will occur and dealings in the Placing Shares will commence on 1 August 2017.
Following Admission, the total number of Shares in issue will be 92,662,789. There are no Shares held in treasury. Accordingly, the total number of voting rights in the Company on Admission will be 92,662,789. This figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations to 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.
Following the passing of the Resolutions put to Shareholders at the General Meeting, the receipt of funds by the Company pursuant to the Placing and the drawdown of the New Facilities, completion of the Acquisition ("Completion") is expected to occur after 6.30 p.m. on 4 August 2017, subject to the satisfaction or waiver (if applicable) of any other outstanding conditions.
The Company will make a further announcement once Completion has occurred.
Following, inter alia, Completion, it is expected that the trading of the Existing Shares and the Placing Shares on AIM will be cancelled (immediately prior to Re-admission) and the Enlarged Share Capital will be re-admitted to trading on AIM. Application will be made by the Company for the Enlarged Share Capital to be re-admitted to trading on AIM and it is expected that Re-admission will occur and dealings will commence by 8.00 a.m. on 7 August 2017.
Defined terms used in this announcement have the meaning (unless the context otherwise requires) as set out in the Admission Document which is available on the Company's website www.proactis.co.uk. This announcement should be read in conjunction with the Admission Document published by the Company on 7 July 2017.
