The Company today announces that the Reference Share Price for the Bonus Issue is 289.2 pence.
No fraction of a Bonus Share will be issued and any fractional entitlements will be aggregated and the Company will procure that the maximum whole number of Bonus Shares resulting there from will be allotted and sold in the market and the net proceeds of sale will be donated by the Company to the STV Children's Appeal charity.
Under the expected timetable of events, it is intended that the Bonus Shares be issued and admitted to trading on 18 December 2020.
