NOTIFICATION OF RESULT OF MEETINGS
Zen Research plc ('Zen' or the 'Company') announces that at the Court Meeting of
Zen held earlier today a majority of the Scheme Shareholders who voted
(representing in aggregate 94.2% of the shares voted) approved the proposal to
return capital to Scheme Shareholders and to return the Company to private
ownership by way of a scheme of arrangement (the 'Scheme'). The resolutions
proposed at the subsequent Extraordinary General Meeting were also passed by the
requisite majorities. Under the Scheme, each Scheme Shareholder will receive a
payment of 10p in cash per Scheme Share and Zen will be de-listed and will
become wholly-owned by Davidi Gilo, the Chairman and Chief Executive of Zen, and
the Family Interests. The potential third party offeror referred to in the
Company's announcement of 17 June 2002 informed Zen on 27 June 2002 that it has
withdrawn its interest.
The Proposal remains conditional on the sanction of the Scheme by the Court and
the Reduction of Capital being confirmed by the Court and an office copy of each
of the necessary orders being delivered to, and in the case of the Reduction of
Capital, being registered by, the Registrar of Companies. It is expected that
the Scheme will become effective on or after 17 July 2002. Payment of the Cash
Consideration is expected to take place no later than 14 days after the
Reduction of Capital becomes effective.
Expressions used in this announcement have the same meaning as in the Circular
to Zen Shareholders dated 24 May 2002.
