ALLOCATE SOFTWARE PLC
("Allocate" or "the Company")
Result of General Meeting
On 27 November 2009, Allocate announced that it had agreed the terms of a proposed acquisition (the
"Acquisition") by the Company of Time Care AB ("Time Care"), a Swedish-based provider of workforce management
software, with a strong focus on the healthcare market, for a Net Consideration of SEK 100 million
(approximately £8.7 million)1.
On the same day, Allocate also announced a placing of 15,100,000 new ordinary shares ("New Shares") at 55.0
pence per New Share to raise approximately £8.3 million (approximately £8.0 million net of expenses) to help
fund the Acquisition (the "Placing"). The Placing has been fully underwritten by Numis Securities Limited,
subject to certain conditions set out in the Placing Agreement.
The Placing and consequently the Acquisition are conditional upon, inter alia, the approval of Shareholders.
The Board of Allocate is pleased to announce that at the General Meeting of its Shareholders held at 9.30 a.m.
today, the Resolutions, as set out in the Notice of General Meeting sent to Shareholders on 27 November 2009,
were duly passed without amendment.
The Placing and consequently the Acquisition remain conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming
unconditional in all respects and Admission. It is expected that Admission will become effective, and dealings
in the New Shares will commence on AIM, at 8.00 a.m. on 15 December 2009. The New Shares will, when issued and
fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares, including the right to receive
any dividend or other distribution declared, made or paid after Admission.
Completion of the Acquisition is anticipated to occur shortly after Admission. As at the date of this
announcement, all Vendors had signed the Acquisition Agreement. Consequently, upon Completion, Allocate will
have acquired the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Time Care.
Terms defined in the Circular sent to Shareholders on 27 November 2009 have the same meanings in this
announcement.
