TREATT PLC
("Treatt" or "the Company")
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
Treatt announces that it intends to convene an EGM to be held at the registered office of the Company at Northern Way, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk IP32 6NL at 9.30am on 16 May 2014 in order to propose a resolution for a subdivision of the Company's issued share capital. Due to the increase in the Company's share price over the last five years, the Directors believe that it is appropriate to recommend a 5 for 1 subdivision, which will increase the number of ordinary shares in issue by a factor of five.
The Directors believe that this subdivision will have a number of potential benefits for shareholders, including an increased level of liquidity in the Company's shares by reducing the Company's share price and increasing the number of shares in issue. The Directors also believe that a subdivision will help attract and retain a diverse shareholder base.
It is expected that a circular containing the Notice of the EGM will be sent to shareholders by first class mail on 16 April 2014.
A copy of that circular will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism on 16 April and will be available for inspection at www.Hemscott.com/nsm.do and on the Company's website www.treatt.com from that date.
