Further to the announcement issued earlier today that McInerney Holdings plc had received valid
acceptances in respect of 6,343,114 New Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 95.0 per cent.
of the 6,676,114 New Ordinary Shares offered to Qualifying Shareholders under the 1 for 5 Rights
Issue which was announced on 26 February 2007, the Company announces that The Governor and Company
of the Bank of Ireland has procured subscribers for the remaining 333,000 New Ordinary Shares which
were not validly taken up in the Rights Issue, at a price of €14.65 per New Ordinary Share.
Following completion of the Rights Issue, the Company now has 40,056,685 Ordinary Shares in issue.
The net proceeds from the sale of these New Ordinary Shares, after deduction of the Rights Issue
Price of €13.00 per share and relevant costs, will be paid (without interest) to those shareholders
who have not taken up their entitlements, pro rata to their lapsed provisional allotments in
accordance with the terms of the Rights Issue, except that no payment will be made of amounts of
less than €7 per holding.
As a result of the procurement of subscribers for the 333,000 New Ordinary Shares which were not
validly taken up in the Rights Issue, neither the Underwriter nor any sub-underwriter will be
required to subscribe for any New Ordinary Shares.
