Raven Property Group Limited ("Raven" or the "Company")

 

Proposed purchase by the Company of its own ordinary shares

and

Proposed purchase of existing ordinary shares and preference shares by the Company and its executive management through a joint venture

and

Proposed placing of existing ordinary shares and preference shares of the Company

 

The Board of Raven announces that the Company has entered into discussions with Invesco Asset Management Limited (acting as agent for certain of its discretionary managed clients) to acquire all of its ordinary shares and preference shares. The purchase prices under discussion in respect of the ordinary shares and preference shares are 21.6 pence per share and 90.8 pence per share respectively.

 

If concluded the transaction will entail 9,850,350 ordinary shares being bought by the Company and cancelled, 100,000,000 ordinary shares and 32,500,000 preference shares being acquired by a newly formed joint venture vehicle, comprising the Company together with its executive directors and certain senior executives (and their related entities), with the remaining 46,824,074 ordinary shares and 31,071,616 preference shares being conditionally placed with investors.

It is anticipated that the share purchases by the Company and the joint venture vehicle described above will be funded through a loan facility with VTB Bank.
