EGM regarding old Luxembourg holding company

17th Dec 2010 07:01

RNS Number : 1319Y
GVC Holdings PLC
17 December 2010
 



Press Release

17 December 2010

 

GVC Holdings PLC

 

("GVC" or the "Group")

 

EGM in relation to the liquidation of the old Luxembourg holding company,

Gaming VC Holdings S.A.

 

On 21 May 2010, shareholders voted for the redomiciliation of the Group from Luxembourg to the Isle of Man.

 

This was achieved through the creation of a new holding company, GVC Holdings PLC, and by admitting its shares onto AIM. The assets and liabilities of Gaming VC Holdings S.A. ("Gaming VC", the old Luxembourg company) were transferred to the new company, GVC, as part of this process. Gaming VC's shares were then delisted from AIM and today have negligible value.

 

As part of the technical administration process to liquidate Gaming VC, shareholders of that old company at 21 May 2010 are now being asked to vote to liquidate that company which in turn would reduce the professional costs of retaining a dormant company.

 

Such shareholders will be receiving the notice of the EGM along with a form of proxy. Copies of these are available on the Company's website.

 

The Board of GVC urges shareholders to send in their proxy ahead of the EGM on 21 December 2010.
