Further re Strategic review
The Company announced on 16 June 2015 that it had appointed SI Partners LLP to undertake a strategic review of its future options. The Board has now received the report and has resolved that the appropriate action is to seek a buyer for the Group's businesses.
A formal sale process, managed by SI Partners LLP, is now underway and indicative offers are expected to be received before the end of August 2015. While it is too early to provide any detail on this the Board is encouraged with the level of interest being shown by potential purchasers.
Any disposal will be subject to Shareholder approval at a General Meeting to be convened at a future date.
The Company also announces an informal meeting of its shareholders to be held at 11am on Thursday 20 August 2015 at Laytons, the Company's solicitors, at 2 More London Riverside, London SE1 2AP to give shareholders the opportunity to meet with management should they wish to do so.
As previously announced, the Company has taken the decision not to publish its audited results for the year ended 31 December 2014 until the results of the strategic review have been concluded. The accounts are expected to be published when the shareholder circular convening the meeting to consider any proposed disposal/s is sent to shareholders.
Further announcements will be made in due course.
