Quindell Plc (AIM: QPP.L), the provider of sector leading expertise in software, consultancy and technology enabled outsourcing in its key markets, being Insurance, Telecommunications and their related sectors announces that the Company's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2013 will be posted to shareholders today.
Annual General Meeting
The Company's annual general meeting will be held at 10am on 19 June 2014 at the Group's London offices at 5th Floor, New Broad Street House, 35 New Broad Street, London EC2M 1NH.
The Report and Accounts, together with the Notice of AGM may be viewed on, or downloaded from the investors section of the Company's website www.quindell.com.
Legal Services Investor Teach In
The Group is also pleased to confirm that following on from the successful Teach-Ins held previously, it will be holding an Analyst and Institutional Investor Teach-In focusing on the Group's legal services business together with some of the other areas of the business that are experiencing strong growth. No information specific to the Group's current trading will be discussed at the Teach In. Attendance of the forthcoming Teach-In has already been confirmed by a significant number of institutions. The Teach-In will be from 10am to 3pm on Tuesday 17 June 2014 at the Group's offices at the address above.
Share consolidation
At the annual general meeting, a 1 for 15 share consolidation is proposed by the Company. Under the share consolidation on the Record Date (being the close of business at 6pm on 19 June 2014) the Existing Ordinary Shares will be consolidated into Consolidated Ordinary Shares on the basis of one Consolidated Ordinary Share for every 15 Existing Ordinary Shares.
If approved at the annual general meeting, the rights attaching to the Consolidated Ordinary Shares will be identical in all respects to those of the Existing Ordinary Shares. Each Consolidated Ordinary Share will have a nominal value of 15 pence compared with the nominal value of each Existing Ordinary Share of 1 penny.
Certain Shareholders will not hold at the Record Date a number of Existing Ordinary Shares that is exactly divisible by the consolidation ratio. The result of the share consolidation will be that such Shareholders will be left with a fractional entitlement to a resulting Consolidated Ordinary Shares. Holders of fewer than 15 Existing Ordinary Shares will not be entitled to receive Consolidated Ordinary Shares under the share consolidation. Shareholders with a holding of Existing Ordinary Shares which is greater than 15 but which is not exactly divisible by 15 would have their entitlement rounded down to the nearest whole Consolidated Ordinary Share. Any fractions arising as a result of the share consolidation will be aggregated and sold for the best price reasonably obtainable, and the net proceeds of the sale distributed among such Shareholders unless the Directors consider that the cost of such a distribution would, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, be disproportionate to the amounts involved.
The Directors have decided that the costs of distributing any amounts less than £3.00 would be disproportionate to the amounts being distributed and all proceeds of the sale of fractional entitlements arising as a consequence of the share consolidation will be sold for the benefit of the Company.
If the resolution is passed by the requisite majority, up to 419,131,628 new Consolidated Ordinary Shares will be admitted to trading on AIM. It is anticipated that admission to AIM will occur on 20 June 2014. The new Consolidated Ordinary Shares have been allocated new stock identification codes as follows: SEDOL code BMTS9H8 and ISIN code GB00BMTS9H89.
