Tender Offer Conditions
On 15 December 2016, the Company announced the publication of a circular (the "Circular") in respect of a tender offer for up to 10 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding any Shares held in treasury) (the "Tender Offer"). Terms used in this announcement and not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as in the Circular.
The Board announces that each of the conditions to the Tender Offer listed in paragraph 2.1 of Part V of the Circular has now been satisfied and that accordingly the Tender Offer has now been declared unconditional.
A total of 1,585,858 Shares, representing approximately 10.00 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital (excluding any Shares held in treasury), will therefore be acquired by J.P. Morgan Cazenove today and will subsequently be repurchased by the Company for cancellation.
The expected timetable for the completion of the Tender Offer is as follows:
Trade Date for Shares submitted for Tender Offer | 27 January 2017 |
Settlement of proceeds through CREST in respect of Tender Offer shares to uncertificated shareholders | 31 January 2017 |
Despatch of settlement proceeds by cheque in respect of Tender Offer shares to certificated shareholders | by 3 February 2017 |
Unless otherwise stated, all references to time in this document are to London time.
