PROPOSED PLACING TO RAISE £30 MILLION

 

Quindell Portfolio Plc (AIM: QPP.L), the brand extension company and a leading practice provider of consultancy, software and outsourcing in its key markets, is pleased to announce that it has raised circa £30m (net of expenses) through an oversubscribed placing with institutional investors by Cenkos Securities plc ('Placing') of 470,000,000 new ordinary shares of 1p ('Ordinary Shares') with institutional investors each at a price of 6.75p per share, being the same price that Ordinary Shares were last purchased by Rob Terry; the Company's founder, Chairman and Chief Executive in January this year.

 

The proceeds will mainly be used to provide financing for the Company's acquisition strategy, as well as providing significant funds for further investment in existing investments and working capital to finance the initial startup of new deals, which have already been targeted.

 

Application has been made for a total of 470,000,000 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is expected to be effective from and dealings in the new Ordinary Shares to commence on 22 February 2012.

 

Rob Terry, Chairman and Chief Executive of Quindell, commented:

 

"We are delighted with the support demonstrated by existing and new institutional shareholders. We believe this will provide the Company with the platform to continue its stated growth strategy, both through organic development and acquisition.

 

We met with several blue-chip institutions, most of whom purchased shares in this Placing, having now fully understood the Company's market positioning and long term growth potential. This level of support is particularly important as the funds will be used to finance recent and future identified acquisitions, which will enhance the Group's cash generation as well as facilitating synergistic and organic growth.

 

We look forward to sharing the upside of the potential growth in share price with our investors as these opportunities are delivered over the next few months and continue to look forward to the future with great enthusiasm."

 

The Placing has been arranged using the authority granted to directors of the Group at the time of the Company's admission to trading on AIM.

 

Subsequent to the Placing, the Company's total issued share capital is 2,549,747,261 Ordinary Shares. Quindell holds no shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in Quindell is 2,549,747,261.

 

The above figure, 2,549,747,261, may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Quindell under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
