Meeting.
Tender Offer
Further, the Company announces the
result of its Tender Offer, which was announced on 3 September
2024. The Tender Offer was taken up in full and as such, the
Company will purchase a total of 19,738,338 Ordinary Shares at the
Tender Price of 88.59 pence per share (equivalent to the Company's
NAV as at 30 August 2024).
19,438,134 Ordinary Shares were
tendered in applications that will be met under the Basic
Entitlement of Shareholders and a further 300,204 Ordinary Shares
were tendered by Shareholders wishing to share in the Basic
Entitlements which were not taken up by others (the Excess
Applications).
Eligible Shareholders who validly
tendered a percentage of their Ordinary Shares equal to or less
than their Basic Entitlement shall have all tendered Ordinary
Shares purchased in full under the Tender Offer. Eligible
Shareholders who validly tendered Excess Applications shall have
their Basic Entitlement and a pro rata proportion of their Excess
Applications purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer.
Subject to the remaining conditions
under the Repurchase Agreement having been met, Singer Capital
Markets will purchase 19,738,338 Ordinary Shares by means of an
on-market purchase from tendering Shareholders. Subject to Singer
Capital Markets requiring the Company to repurchase such Ordinary
Shares in accordance with the terms of the Repurchase Agreement,
Singer Capital Markets will then sell the tendered Ordinary Shares
acquired by it on to the Company pursuant to the terms of the
Repurchase Agreement. All Ordinary Shares acquired by the Company
from Singer Capital Markets under the Repurchase Agreement will be
cancelled.
As previously announced, it is
anticipated that the proceeds payable to Shareholders whose
tendered Ordinary Shares are held through CREST accounts are
expected to be made on 30 September 2024 and that cheques and
balance share certificates for the certificated Ordinary Shares
purchased under the Tender Offer will be despatched on 30 September
2024.
Total Voting Rights
Following the completion of the
Tender Offer, the Company will have 97,848,021 Ordinary Shares in
issue, with 179,569 Ordinary Shares held in treasury. Therefore,
the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 97,668,452
and this figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for
calculations by which they will determine if they are required to
notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the
Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance
and Transparency Rules.
Defined terms used in this
announcement have the meanings given in the Tender Circular unless
the context otherwise requires.
