Sell-out
Quindell announces that on 14 May 2012 Quindell had, by virtue
of acceptances of the Offer, acquired or unconditionally acquired

Shareholder, be agreed between such shareholder and Quindell.
In accordance with the requirements of the Act, the Notice sets

Shareholders under the Offer and states that:
-- an Ai Claim Shareholder may, within 3 months from the date of
the Notice, indicate his/her choice by a written communication sent
to Quindell at its registered office address; and
-- if an Ai Claim Shareholder exercises his sell-out right
without indicating his/her choice of consideration, the Lock-In
Option will apply.
Quindell fully reserves its rights to give notice and to
exercise it statutory rights under sections 974 to 991 (inclusive)
of the Act to acquire compulsorily any remaining Ai Claims Offer

Our Industry Sectors
In today's digital world the line between traditional industry
sectors continues to blur, however the focus on tight service
management is common to them all. We believe that excellent
customer service, tight cost control and integrated supply chain
management is not the prerogative of any single industry sector and
with our solutions in multiple industry sectors savings of over 20%
against industry norms are being delivered to the bottom line.
Our Solutions
The pressures on an organisation can come simultaneously from
multiple directions including the need to add customers, increase
wallet share, reduce costs and improve customer satisfaction. At
Quindell we have the People, the Processes and the Supply Chains,
underpinned by our sophisticated Champion and Challenger Business
Process Management Technology Platform and Industry Solutions to
help our customers tackle these efficiently and effectively.
With a clear understanding that having the best products and
services on offer is not always enough and that getting your
customers to use or adopt them is key, effective conversion lies at
the core of our unique Champion and Challenger tools and
techniques. Using these solutions Quindell has helped its customers
achieve sales and service conversion rates ranging from 75% to 90%,
way above industry norms. But life does not stand still, and
complacency can kill any business, so the embedded Champion and
Challenger continual improvement focus of our Learning Solutions is
at the heart of all we offer. Using our industry insight and
expertise, Quindell takes the holistic view of our client's
challenges.
For example, when considering the Insurance industry today where
50% of the cost of an auto claim is associated with Personal
Injury, including legal services, medical reporting and
rehabilitation, it is clear that an organisation will not be able
to achieve the levels of savings and customer satisfaction desired
without addressing the injury to the driver as well as the repair
of the vehicle. This is why at Quindell we have designed our
insurance solutions and supply chains to address the full end to
end cycle, with the ability and expertise to treat an injured party
as well as repairing their vehicle. This makes Quindell a truly
unique proposition for the insurance industry today.
