Eros International Plc ("Eros" or the "Company")
18 September 2013
AIM Cancellation Update
Further to the Company's announcement on 30 March 2012 of its
intention to list on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and to
delist from AIM, and the Company's announcement on 10 September
2013 that it has filed an Amendment #3 to its registration
statement on Form F-1 with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") relating to a proposed initial public
offering of its A Ordinary Shares on the NYSE, this announcement
provides an update concerning the expected timing of the proposed
cancellation of the Company's admission to AIM ("AIM
Delisting").
The AIM Delisting is currently expected to take place at 7.00
a.m. on the business day following the proposed NYSE listing, which
is currently expected to be no earlier than 18 October 2013.
Trading of the Company's ordinary shares on AIM is expected to be
suspended at 7.30 a.m. on the day of such listing on the NYSE,
which is currently expected to be no earlier than 17 October 2013.
These dates are subject to change and confirmation depending on the
final NYSE listing timetable and a further announcement will be
made in due course.
Further details regarding the proposed NYSE listing and AIM
Delisting are set out in the announcement of 30 March 2012, but the
Company highlights the following matters:
-- The AIM Delisting, which is to become effective as soon as
practicable after the listing of shares on the NYSE, was approved
by the Company's shareholders at an EGM on 24 April 2012; if the
shares are not listed on the NYSE, the Company will not continue
its application for AIM Delisting
-- At the EGM on 24 April 2012 the Company's shareholders also
approved, conditional on the NYSE listing, the adoption of new
Articles of Association and certain share capital changes,
principally the provision for enhanced voting rights to attach to B
Ordinary Shares to be held by the Company's founders, so that they
will continue to hold a majority vote at all general meetings
following the NYSE listing; in addition, at a second EGM on 3 May
2012 the Company's shareholders approved a 1 for 3 share
consolidation in connection with, and conditional on, the NYSE
listing; full details of these EGMs are contained within the
related Circulars, copies of which are available on the Company's
website (www.erosplc.com)
-- Following AIM Delisting, there will be no market facility in
the UK for dealing in A Ordinary Shares and shareholders wishing to
deal in A Ordinary Shares will either have to sell their A Ordinary
Shares privately or through a broker on the NYSE in compliance with
US securities laws.
-- A Frequently Asked Questions ("FAQ") document setting out
certain information addressing questions concerning the Company's
proposed registered initial public offering and trading of A
Ordinary Shares on the NYSE has been prepared for the benefit of
shareholders. Shareholders are encouraged to review the FAQ, which
is available on the Company's website (www.erosplc.com), and to
consult their stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other
independent financial adviser in the event of any doubt.
