Flybe Group Plc ("Flybe" or the "Company")
Flybe announces that approval from the Company's court was
obtained on 17th August 2016 to a Reduction of Capital, involving
the cancellation of the amount standing to the credit of the
Company's capital redemption reserve in the sum of GBP22.5m. This
follows receipt of shareholder approval at the Company's AGM on
27th July 2016 and the previous announcements on 28 June 2016 and
27 July 2016.
The reduction of capital eliminates the accumulated deficit on
the retained earnings account of the Company and creates a positive
balance of distributable reserves. This balance gives the Board the
flexibility to proceed with the share grant of 5% of basic salary
to all employees employed as at 31st July 2016, giving employees a
stake in the company. The shares to enable the grants will be
purchased in the market by the Company's employee benefit
trusts.
