Result of General Meeting
India Outsourcing Services plc (AIM: IOS) is pleased to announce that, at the
General Meeting held earlier today, all of the resolutions contained in the
circular dated 28 January were passed including resolutions approving the
acquisition of the Mela Group and changing the name of the Company to Indian
Restaurants Group plc.
Admission to trading on AIM of the Initial Consideration Shares is expected to
occur tomorrow, 26 February 2008.
Haresh Kanabar, Non-Executive Chairman and Finance Director of the Enlarged
Group, made the following comments: 'We are delighted by the support of
shareholders for our strategy of rolling out a nationwide chain of Indian
restaurants based on the acquisition of the Mela Group. It is our intention to
use the Mela Group's complementary Mela and Chowki brands to open new outlets
and to acquire and rebrand existing sites.
'The UK Indian restaurant sector has a market size of £3 billion but to date
there has been no national, branded operator. We see a clear opportunity over
the medium term to replicate, with high quality but affordably priced Indian
cuisine, the successes seen among pizza, pasta and tapas chains.
'Following today's General Meeting, I would like to take the opportunity to
welcome the award-winning chef Kuldeep Singh to the Company's Board as Executive
Chef Director and the restaurant entrepreneur Ashraf Rahman to the Company's
Board as Business Development Director.'
