For release at 7.00am on 11 March 2008
Utilico Emerging Markets Limited
Conversion of C Shares and Subscription Shares
Net Asset Values as at 29 February 2008
Further to its announcement dated 20 February 2008, the Board of Utilico
Emerging Markets Limited (the 'Company') announces the following information in
relation to the Net Asset Value of its Ordinary Shares and C Shares as at 29
February 2008 (the 'Calculation Date') and the Conversion of C Shares and
Subscription Shares, including the Conversion Ratio and the S Share Conversion
Ratio.
Net Asset Value as at 29 February 2008
The Net Asset Values of the Ordinary Shares and the C Shares as at the
Calculation Date, being 29 February 2008, were as follows:
pence
Ordinary Shares
Net Asset Value - undiluted 180.02p*
Net Asset Value - diluted 166.93p
C Shares
Net Asset Value 99.84p*
(there is no dilution for C Shares)
Conversion Date
The Directors have determined that the Conversion Date will be the close of
business on 13 March 2008. Entitlements on Conversion will be calculated on the
basis of holdings of C Shares and Subscription Shares as at the close of
business on the Conversion Date.
Conversion Ratio for C Shares
On the basis of the above Net Asset Values (marked *), the Conversion Ratio for
Conversion of the C Shares is 0.5546 Ordinary Shares for every one C Share.
For example, a holder of 1,000 C Shares will receive 554 new Ordinary Shares
upon Conversion.
Conversion of Subscription Shares
Under the terms of the Issue, on Conversion, the Subscription Shares will
undergo a conversion process and will convert into S Shares and Deferred
Subscription Shares so as to ensure that the total number of S Shares in issue
following the Conversion Date will be at a ratio to the number of Ordinary
Shares arising on Conversion of the C Shares that is equal to the ratio of
Warrants to the Ordinary Shares in issue immediately prior to the Conversion
Date.
As at the Conversion Date, there are 32,537,259 Warrants and 166,367,303
Ordinary Shares in issue, meaning that there are 0.1955 Warrants for every one
Ordinary Share in issue. A holder of 1,000 Subscription Shares will therefore
receive 542 S Shares on the Conversion Date, rounded down to the nearest whole
number. Fractions will be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Any
fractional entitlements will be aggregated and sold in the market for the
benefit of the Company.
With effect from the Conversion Date, the rights attaching to the S Shares will,
for all material purposes, be similar to those of the Warrants (including the
subscription price of 100 pence per Ordinary Share).
Dealings, CREST and share certificates
Dealings in the Ordinary Shares and S Shares arising from Conversion are
expected to commence at 8.00 a.m. on 14 March 2008.
CREST accounts will be credited in respect of Ordinary Shares and S Shares
arising from Conversion of the C Shares and Subscription Shares respectively, on
14 March 2008. Share certificates will be despatched, as appropriate, during the
week commencing 17 March 2008.
Shares in issue
Following Conversion, as at 8.00 a.m. on 14 March 2008 the Company's issued
capital will consist of 213,508,303 Ordinary Shares (ISIN BMG931151069) and
9,219,100 S Shares (ISIN BMG931071291).
The following security identification codes for the C Shares and the
Subscription Shares will be cancelled at that time:
