UniVision Engineering Limited
("UniVision" or the "Group)
Further to the announcement of UniVision's final results on 29 September 2011 and the approval of all resolutions at the Company's annual general meeting on 29 October 2011 (including resolution 6, requesting the approval of shareholders for UniVision to repurchase shares in the Company), UniVision announces that on 23 February 2012 it acquired in the market 100,000 ordinary shares of HKD0.0625 each ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 0.6p per share (the "Share Repurchase"). The Company intends to hold these shares in treasury.
The resolution approved by shareholders at the Company's AGM provides the Board of UniVision with authority to repurchase Ordinary Shares for a period of 15 months, or until the conclusion of the Company's next AGM, whichever occurs first. Any Ordinary Shares which are repurchased will not be cancelled and are intended to be held in treasury with the intention for them to be redistributed to employees of UniVision as a bonus at some time in the future.
Following the Share Repurchase, the total number of shares in issue in UniVision remains at 383,677,323 Ordinary Shares and the Company will hold 100,000 Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company with voting rights is 383,577,323.
The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
