Further to the announcement made earlier today (RNS number: 9338E), the Board of Directors of the Company announces that it has received confirmation from FMP Global Bidco Limited (the "Purchaser"), the proposed purchaser of Bond HR and Payroll Software Limited, Bond Payroll Services Limited and Eurowage Limited, that it has entered into definitive debt finance documents with HSBC plc. The facilities pursuant to those debt finance documents have become and remain unconditionally available to the Purchaser subject only to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent to the utilisation of the debt financing, which will be capable of satisfaction by the Purchaser on or prior to completion of the sale and purchase agreement. As a result the condition in the sale and purchase agreement relating to the completion of the Purchaser's finance documentation has now been satisfied.
In addition, the condition relating to the finalisation of documentation with Barclays Bank Plc has also been satisfied today. Therefore, the only remaining condition to the sale and purchase agreement, which was announced earlier today, is shareholders' approval of the proposed sale.
