MERIDIAN PETROLEUM plc
("Meridian" or "the Company")
Holding in Company - Amendment
This announcement replaces that of 07:00 on 5 June 2009 (RNS number 4172T).
The replacement is to reflect the fact that the exercise date of the Warrants is 30 June 2012, as opposed to 30 January 2012 as previously stated.
The full and amended announcement is as reproduced below.
Meridian Petroleum plc (the 'Company') received notification on 3 June 2009 from Macquarie Group Limited ('Macquarie'), as required by the Financial Services Authority policy statement 09/3 relating to disclosure of contracts for differences and effective from 1 June 2009, that it holds Warrants that may, up until 30 June 2012, be converted into 1,500,000 ordinary shares of 30p each in the Company. This number of shares is equivalent to approximately 9.3 per cent of the Company's reportable voting rights based on the total number of current voting rights in the Company and represents approximately 8.5 percent of the enlarged number of reportable reporting rights if the Warrants are exercised.
The total number of current voting rights in the Company is 16,093,494.
