Posting of shareholder circular
Porta Communications PLC ("Porta", the "Group" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has posted a circular to shareholders (the "Circular") setting out details of two share option schemes that the Board intends to establish - the Porta Communications plc Enterprise Management Incentive and Unapproved Share Option Plan and the Porta Communications plc Sharesave Scheme (together, the "Schemes").
In the Admission Document dated 12 October 2011, published in connection with the Company's acquisition of Threadneedle Communications Limited, the Board highlighted its intention to adopt an enterprise management incentive scheme for the benefit of eligible employees of the Group. Porta's remuneration committee firmly believes that this incentive scheme is key to the development of the Group and its ability to attract and retain high calibre executives and consultants.
A notice of general meeting, to be held on 22 March 2012 at 11 a.m. at the offices of Northland Capital, 60 Gresham Street, London EC2V 7BB, to approve certain proposals including the implementation of the Schemes, and a form of proxy accompanies the Circular. Copies of the Circular will be available to download from the Company's website, www.portacommunications.plc.uk, later today.
