Amalgamation of stock lines and TVR
WANdisco, (LSE: WAND), the world leader in Active Data Replication™, is pleased to announce that the distribution restriction period applicable to 1,939,659 of its existing ordinary shares of 10 pence each (the "Category 3 Shares" or "WAN2 Shares") which were offered and sold to non-US Persons in "offshore transactions" issued on 6 July 2016 in compliance with and subject to certain restrictions pursuant to the requirements of Regulation S, Category 3 promulgated by the Securities Act of 1933 of the United States, expired on 6 July 2017. These WAN2 shares have the following identifying codes: ISIN JE00BYPG6G89, TIDM WAN2 and SEDOL BYPG6G8.
Following the expiry of the distribution restriction period the restrictions will no longer apply to the Category 3 Shares. Trading in the Category 3 Shares shall cease as of 8 a.m. BST on 7 July 2017 and all ordinary shares formerly traded as Category 3 Shares and identified in the CREST system with the marker "-REG S" under ISIN JE00BYPG6G89, TIDM WAN2 and SEDOL BYPG6G8, shall continue to trade under ISIN JE00B6Y3DV84 as Ordinary Shares of the Company. As a consequence, the Depositary Interest facility, operated by Capita IRG Trustees Limited, in relation to the restricted ISIN JE00BYPG6G89 will terminate with effect from close of business on 6 July 2017.
The Directors believe that it is in the interest of the Company and its shareholders to simplify the shareholding structure and have a single line of shares. The Company has applied to the London Stock Exchange for this to take place on 7 July 2017. From this date onwards all WANdisco shares will trade under the following identifying codes: ISIN JE00B6Y3DV84, TIDM WAND and SEDOL B6Y3DV8.
