Sepura PLC
("Sepura" or the "Company")
3T Communications AG - Deferred consideration
Sepura, a global leader in the design, development and supply of TETRA digital communications solutions, refers to the Company's announcement of 16 May 2012 in relation to the acquisition of 3T Communications AG ("3T").
As previously announced, the Company acquired 3T for initial cash consideration of €8 million, with additional contingent consideration of up to €5 million payable if the acquired business achieved cash EBITDA targets over an earn-out period.
These targets have now been met in full. Accordingly, the Company has paid €4 million of the deferred consideration in cash, and the final €1m will be settled by the issue of 1,301,334 new ordinary shares of £0.0005 each in the capital of the Company, with the number of shares to be issued based on the share price at completion of 61.5p.
Application has been made to the UK Listing Authority for admission to the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange for admission to trading of the new ordinary shares which is expected to take place at 8.00 am on 16 July 2013 ("Admission").
Following Admission, the Company will have 138,619,914 ordinary shares in issue, of which 131,983 are held in Treasury and the total number of voting rights in the Company will therefore be 137,186,597. This 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 the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
