Results of Share Offers and Extraordinary General Meeting
On 23 December 2003, the Company announced the terms of Share Offers to raise
£15 million (before expenses) by way of the issue of 60,000 convertible
redeemable preference shares in the Company ('Preference Shares').
By the close of the Share Offers, 27,957 Preference Shares (worth £6,989,250 at
the subscription price and representing 46.6% of the number of Preference Shares
available for subscription) had been applied for by Qualifying Shareholders. Of
these, 766 (£191,500 at the subscription price) were subscribed by small
shareholders who subscribed for one Preference Share each and 27,191 (£6,797,750
at the subscription price) by 126 larger shareholders. The balance of 32,043
Preference Shares have been taken up by ENIC Sports Limited ('ENIC Sports')
pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.
At the Extraordinary General Meeting held today, all resolutions were passed, in
particular the two resolutions proposed in connection with waivers of the
obligation that may otherwise arise for ENIC Sports to make a general offer for
the voting shares in the Company under Rule 9 of the City Code on Takeovers and
Mergers as a result of the acquisition by ENIC Sports of Preference Shares
pursuant to the Share Offers.
Application has been made for the Preference Shares and the existing Ordinary
Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and dealings are expected to commence on
23 January 2004.
If all the Preference Shares are converted into Ordinary Shares (which may only
occur on 31 October 2007 and each anniversary thereafter, except in certain
circumstances), ENIC Sports would hold 99,454,859 Ordinary Shares, representing
50.8 per cent. of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company.
If only ENIC Sports converts all the Preference Shares held by it (assuming that
the Company's current authority to buy back ordinary shares is exercised in
full), ENIC Sports would hold 61.8 per cent. of the enlarged issued share
capital of the Company.
