RETURN OF CAPITAL AND LISTING OF NEW ORDINARY SHARES
At the Extraordinary General Meeting of Computacenter plc held today
Shareholders approved the resolution to effect the return of capital, including
the share capital consolidation and the amendment to the Articles of
Association. In addition resolutions were passed to renew authorities granted at
the AGM to issue shares and make market purchases as set out in the Circular to
shareholders dated 5 June 2006.
Accordingly on 3 July 2006 shareholders on the register of members as at 4.30pm
on 30 June 2006 will be issued with B shares in the ratio of one B share for
each existing ordinary share held. All B shares will be redeemed at their
nominal value of 39 pence on 4 July 2006. It is expected that cheques will be
despatched and proceeds credited to CREST accounts on 7 July 2006 in respect of
B shares redeemed.
Application has been made to the Financial Services Authority and the London
Stock Exchange for the new ordinary shares resulting from the share capital
consolidation to be admitted to the Official List and to trading on the London
Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities in place of the existing
ordinary shares. It is expected that dealings in the existing ordinary shares
will continue until 4.30pm on 30 June 2006 and that listing of the new ordinary
shares will become effective and dealings in them will commence on the London
Stock Exchange at 8.00am on 3 July 2006.
