("Venn Life Sciences" or the "Company")

 

Sale of Innovenn UK Limited
and Result of General Meeting

 

Venn Life Sciences (AIM: VENN), a growing Contract Research Organisation providing drug development, clinical trial management and resourcing solutions to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device clients, announced on 4 October 2016 that its wholly owned subsidiary, Venn Life Sciences Limited, had entered into a conditional agreement under which it and Lynchwood Nominees Limited, as custodian for the Helium Rising Stars Fund, would sell the entire issued share capital of Innovenn UK Limited for a total consideration of up to £4,740,000.

 

The Company announces that the General Meeting to seek Shareholder approval of the Sale and entry into the SPA by the Subsidiary for the purposes of section 190 of the Act was held yesterday.

 

At the request of a Shareholder and as approved by the Chairman of the General Meeting, a motion to amend the Resolution was proposed at the General Meeting and was duly carried by the necessary majority. This was due to a clerical error at the time the Notice of General Meeting was drafted, which meant that the Resolution and the definition of "SPA" used in the Resolution referred to the Company entering into the SPA rather than the Subsidiary.

 

The Resolution (as amended) was passed on a show of hands.

 

A further announcement regarding completion of the Sale will be released in due course.

 

Capitalised terms used in the letter to Shareholders from the Chairman of the Company dated 4 October 2016 shall have the same meanings in this announcement.
