Â
Result of General Meeting and Change of Name
Â
Severfield-Rowen plc is pleased to announce that at its General Meeting held today, the resolution to change the Company's name from 'Severfield-Rowen plc' to 'Severfield plc' was duly passed.
Â
The Company's TIDM (ticker symbol) "SFR" will remain unchanged, as do its ISIN number and SEDOL code. Dealings under the name "Severfield plc" are expected to commence at 08:00am on Monday 19 May.
Â
Shareholdings are unaffected by the change of name and share certificates in the name of Severfield-Rowen plc should be retained, as they will remain valid for all purposes. New share certificates issued hereafter will bear the name Severfield plc.
Â
The Board believes the name change simplifies and modernises the Company's proposition across the full spectrum of its stakeholder universe and reflects the strength of the overall brand.
Â
Full details of the voting results will be available on the Company's website http://www.sfrplc.com/.
