Vislink Plc ('Vislink' or the 'Company')
Result of Extraordinary General Meeting
On 14 January 2005, Vislink announced the proposed acquisition of Link Research
Limited ('Link') and a proposed Placing and Open Offer of 20,414,569 New
Ordinary Shares at 22.75 pence per share on the basis of 1 Open Offer Share for
every 5 Existing Ordinary Shares, both of which were subject to, inter-alia,
Shareholder approval.
The Company is pleased to announce that all the resolutions proposed to
Shareholders were passed at the Extraordinary General Meeting which took place
earlier today.
Statement to shareholders
In his statement to shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting, Ian
Scott-Gall, Chief Executive said: 'The Acquisition of Link creates immediate
benefits to Vislink from the integration of Link's wireless camera systems
within Vislink's product range and higher margins resulting from the OEM
products supplied by Link to the Group. Vislink will also benefit from the
longer term growth opportunities from the development and introduction of high
definition wireless camera systems, by Link.
In addition Mr. Ian Scott-Gall said that 'the implementation of the planned
regulatory changes in the USA to the part of the spectrum used by outside
broadcasters has taken another step forward, as on 7 February 2005 Nextel
announced its expected formal acceptance of the Federal Communications
Commission's Rule and Order. This will require the Broadcasters to be
compensated by the supply of new equipment. The Group's US business MRC expects
to see incremental demand for its products which also incorporate Link OEM
products, in 2005 through to 2007.'
The Acquisition and the Placing and Open Offer remains conditional upon
admission of the New Ordinary Shares to listing on the Official List of the UK
Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's and the Irish
Stock Exchange's respective market for listed securities. Admission is expected
to become effective at 8.00 am on 11February 2005.
Terms defined in the prospectus dated 14 January 2005 have the same meaning in
this announcement, save where the context otherwise requires.
