Rockpool Acquisitions Plc
("Rockpool" or "the Company")
Acquisition of Greenview Gas Limited ("Greenview") and Publication of Accounts
Rockpool, the special purpose acquisition company, announced on 30 January 2019 that, following the successful completion of the acquisition by Greenview of Central Heating Services Limited ("CHS"), it intended shortly to instruct its professional advisers to undertake further due diligence and commence the preparation of the documentation to enable the completion of the acquisition of Greenview as well as a prospectus to enable the Company's shares to be re-admitted to the Official List immediately following such completion.
Due to unexpectedly poor financial performance in CHS, Greenview has taken the decision to implement a restructuring plan in that company and its subsidiary. As a result, the Board of Rockpool has decided not to progress with the acquisition of Greenview at this time and, as a result, will not be progressing with the preparation of a prospectus, in relation to a Reverse Take Over of Greenview, for the re-admission of the Company's shares to the Official List until such time as the results of the abovementioned restructuring plan have been more fully realised.
The publication of Rockpool's accounts for the year ended 31 March 2019 has been delayed whilst the Company obtained further information from Greenview regarding its financial position and the results achieved by its restructuring plan to date. That information has now been received and it confirms that the results of the restructuring to date are positive, and Rockpool therefore expects to be able to announce its results to the market within the next seven to ten days.
