Press release

11 March 2013

 

Kedco plc

("Kedco" or the "Company")

 

Reclassification of FTSE Industry Classification Benchmark ("ICB")

 

Kedco plc, (AIM:KED) the renewable energy group focusing on the production of clean energy in the UK and Ireland, is pleased to announce that following the successful completion of the restructuring and non-core asset disposal in December 2012, the FTSE industry classification of the Company has been reclassified as Electricity; sub-sector Alternative Electricity. The Company was formerly classified under the Construction and Materials sector.

 

The implementation date on the London Stock Exchange is 15 March 2013 with an effective date of 18 March 2013.

 

Gerry Madden CEO of Kedco plc said:

"The reclassification of the Company's sector on the London Stock Exchange is an important recognition of the refocusing of the Company's business model over the last twelve months to becoming a pure renewable energy development and operating Company.

 

"The change in classification should also help the Company in attracting interest from analysts and investors who specifically follow the Alternative Energy sub-sector. The Board believes that the Company has a unique offering as a technology-neutral renewable energy operating and development business and the change in classification reflects this view when a comparison is made with the strategies of the Company's peer group in the sub-sector."
