Result of Extraordinary General Meeting
At the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company, which took place earlier
today, the resolution proposed to shareholders to approve the Company's proposed
de-listing from the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and the
cancellation of the Company's ordinary shares to trading on the London Stock
Exchange's market for listed securities, as announced on 20 September 2006, was
duly passed.
Accordingly, notice is hereby given that the final day of dealings on the
Official List of the UK Listing Authority is expected to be 22 November 2006 and
the first day of trading on AIM is expected to be 23 November 2006.
At today's Extraordinary General Meeting, Tom Brown, Chairman of Chamberlin &
Hill plc, provided the following trading update:
At the Company's annual general meeting in July this year, the Company warned
shareholders that cost increases suffered in recent months would mean a lower
first half year result than in the previous year.
Since then increased costs of energy and raw materials have continued to put
pressure on foundry margins and demand for heavy castings has not recovered as
expected. The operating performance of both foundry businesses has also been
adversely affected by the previously announced restructuring programmes, while
central costs have been temporarily inflated by recruitment to strengthen both
operational and group management. These factors have combined to reduce the
first half year results further.
Although adjustments to selling prices and other actions are expected to deliver
improvements in the second half of the year, the directors now anticipate that
the full year results will fall short of the level achieved in the last two
years.
The directors believe that the trend of the second half will continue into the
next financial year, when an improved performance is anticipated.
