LMS CAPITAL PLC
BOARD CHANGES AND GENERAL MEETING
LMS Capital plc ("LMS" or the "Company") announces that its board of directors
(the "Board") has agreed a process to reconstitute the Board. This process,
which is intended to ensure that the Company has an independent Board in place
to oversee its wind-down in the best interests of all shareholders, and to
reflect good corporate governance, has been established with the Concert Party
described in the Company's circular to shareholders dated 7 November 2011.
A Committee of the Board (the "Special Committee") will be appointed to manage
the reconstitution and will comprise Richard Christou, Robert Rayne and Mark
Sebba. Mark Sebba will chair the Special Committee.
The Special Committee will effect the search for two new independent
non-executive directors with the assistance of search consultants.
Upon the appointment of the two new directors, John Barnsley and David Verey
will stand down from the Board, and Robert Rayne will stand down as Chairman
but remain on the Board. Richard Christou will replace Robert Rayne as
Chairman.
On the basis of these arrangements and the Board's support of Robert Rayne, the
Concert Party has withdrawn its request that shareholders be asked whether they
agree that he remain on the Board. Accordingly, the third resolution relating
to Robert Rayne set out in the Company's circular of 7 November 2011 will not
be considered at the general meeting convened for 11.00 a.m. on 30 November
2011 and shareholders will only be asked to vote in relation to the two
resolutions to approve the Company's proposed wind-down strategy. The Board is
unanimously recommending that shareholders vote in favour of this strategy.
