Exercise of option to acquire the remaining shares in LearnED Limited

 

The Board of Quindell Portfolio Plc (AIM: QPP.L), announces that the Group has exercised its option to acquire the remaining share capital of LearnED Limited ("LearnED"), a technology company specialising in the areas of remote learning, e-commerce, work and time management, scheduling, GPS and telematics.

Commenting on the acquisition Rob Terry, Chief Executive Officer of Quindell said: "LearnED sells its solutions across a number of sectors, focussing on training and compliance solutions that address industry specific requirements. Their suite of solutions for the insurance sector have already been a key factor in building our relationship with the insurance specialists Ingenie Limited, and we look forward to increasing our activity in this sector in 2011 and beyond".

 

Application has been made for the 11,840,000 1 pence Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission of the shares is expected to occur on 28 July 2011. Following Admission Quindell will have 1,638,442,603 Ordinary Shares in issue.
