Results of intraday share repurchase and transaction in own shares

 

Randall & Quilter Investment Holdings PLC (the "Company") announces that on 28 June 2011 it purchased 1,723,406 Ordinary Shares of 2 6/91p at a price of 124 pence per share as part of the bookbuilding process announced on 28 June 2011. These shares will be cancelled.

 

The number of Ordinary Shares purchased represents approximately 3.2% of the voting rights* attributable to the total Ordinary Shares in issue prior to such purchases.

 

Prior to the cancellation of any of the shares purchased by the Company, and announced by the Company prior to this announcement, since it began its repurchase programme on 23 June 2011, the Company has 55,133,002 Ordinary Shares in issue and following the cancellation, the Company is expected to have 51,265,608 Ordinary Shares in issue, including 718,358 Ordinary Shares held by the Company's employee benefit trust (EBT) which has waived its voting and dividend rights in respect of such shares and which the Company therefore treats as held in treasury.  Accordingly, there are expected to be 50,547,250 Ordinary Shares in issue with exercisable voting rights following the repurchases. 

 

* The denominator in this calculation excludes the shares held by the EBT, which are deemed to be held in treasury as voting rights have been waived in respect of these shares.
