Sondex plc ("Sondex" or the "Company")
Result of Extraordinary General Meeting
At an Extraordinary General Meeting held at 4.00 pm yesterday, and as
recommended by the Sondex Board, none of the resolutions were approved by Sondex
shareholders; accordingly the Company will not be proceeding with the
acquisition of Innicor Subsurface Technologies Inc. (the "Acquisition") or the
associated Firm Placing and Placing & Open Offer (the "Fundraising").
Sondex announced details of the Acquisition & Fundraising on 30th September 2006
but on 7th November 2006 recommended that Sondex shareholders vote against the
resolutions to be proposed at the EGM convened for 16th November 2006.
Sondex shareholders who submitted valid applications under the Open Offer will
be refunded within 14 days.
Iain Paterson, the Chairman of Sondex commented:
"Due to changed circumstances and on the recommendation of the Board, the Sondex
shareholders at the EGM have voted against the proposed acquisition of Innicor.
This has no impact on the Sondex core business which recently announced its
interim results demonstrating very pleasing on-going organic growth,
contributions from previous acquisitions, significant improvements in cash
generation and enhanced earnings per share. Sondex will continue to concentrate
on further delivery of growth from this strong base."
Terms defined in the Prospectus dated 19 October 2006 have the same meaning in
this announcement, save where the context otherwise requires.
