Termination of Offer Talks
On 24 January 2014 Uvenco UK confirmed that it was in early stage discussions with the board of SnackTime plc ("SnackTime") regarding a possible offer to be made for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of SnackTime.
Since that date, Uvenco UK has been engaged in discussions with SnackTime. Unfortunately these discussions have not led to an agreement to proceed with a formal offer and accordingly talks have now terminated.
Under Rule 2.8 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code"), Uvenco UK, and any person deemed to be acting in concert with it, is restricted from announcing an offer or possible offer for SnackTime (and/or taking any other action which could otherwise be restricted under Rule 2.8 of the Code) within the next six months following the date of this announcement except in the circumstances set out in Note 2 to Rule 2.8 of the Code.
