Quindell Portfolio Plc
("Quindell" or the "Company")
NOTICE OF RESULTS AND TRADING UPDATE
Quindell Portfolio Plc (AIM: QPP.L), the brand extension company and a leading practice provider of consultancy, software and outsourcing in its key markets, confirms that it will announce its maiden preliminary results for the 33 weeks ended 31 December 2011, on Monday 19 March 2012.
Trading since the most recent update on 12 January 2012 for the new financial year has continued positively, building on the strong performance delivered by the Company during 2011, with results to date and the ratio of EBITDA to cash generation being encouraging and in line with the Group's plan.
The Company's application to the Solicitors Regulation Authority in relation to the acquisition of the legal services firm Silverbeck Rymer is progressing well, and the Board anticipates being able to provide further confirmation of this progress in the coming weeks.
Since the Group's 29.9% investment in Ai Claims Solutions PLC ("Ai Claims"), the two companies have held a number of meetings together to discuss the ways in which the two companies can contribute to the strengthening of each other's operations, and the Board is very encouraged by the highly positive nature in which the board and executive management team of Ai Claims have approached these discussions.
Gillian Baker has been appointed as chairperson of the Group's newly formed Strategy and Integration Advisory Board. The Company will shortly announce the membership of this board, which will include leading individuals from each of the sectors within which the Group operates. Gillian has also been appointed as the Company's Head of Investor Relations.
Quindell's ability to attract market leading talent to our business and away from competitive organisations continues, and we look forward to announcing further successes in this area in the near future, positioning the Company well for signing major new accounts with clients in the insurance outsourcing sector during the first half of 2012.
Finally, the Board is pleased with overall progress and remains confident that the Company will meet market expectations for the financial year.
