On 1 June 2010, Zodiak Entertainment S.A.S. entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement with (among others) CF I Invest C.V. and Cyrte Investments B.V. pursuant to which Zodiak Entertainment S.A.S. agreed to purchase 6,720,902 ordinary shares (the "Shares") in Shed Media PLC (the "SPA"). The SPA is conditional upon completion of another sale agreement (the "Sale Agreement"), which is itself subject to certain conditions.
On 28 July 2010, the final condition to the Sale Agreement beyond the control of the parties was satisfied and, therefore, this notification is required. Other conditions to the Sale Agreement, which are within the control of the parties, remain outstanding and the transfer of the Shares to Zodiak Entertainment S.A.S. has therefore not been completed.
Percentage figures in this notification are based on a total number of voting rights in Shed Media PLC of 86,833,639, as announced by Shed Media PLC on 8 July 2010. |
