Press Release

5 June 2014

 

Camkids Group plc

 

("Camkids" or the "Company")

 

Result of Annual General Meeting

Trading update

Dividend payment date

 

Camkids Group plc (AIM: CAMK), a leading Chinese designer, manufacturer and distributor of branded outdoor clothing, footwear and equipment for children, announces that at its Annual General Meeting held earlier today at its offices in Jinjiang City, China, all resolutions put to shareholders were duly passed.

 

Camkids is also pleased to announce the following trading update. The Board confirms that trading across all of the Group's divisions is in line with market expectations for the current financial year.   As previously reported in the Group's Final Results on 24 April 2014, Camkids showcased its autumn / winter 2014 collection to distributors in Beijing in February 2014. The fair in Beijing was extremely well-attended and the Board is pleased to report that following this sales fair, Camkids' order book is up by 1.2% compared with the same period last year.

 

The Group will issue a more detailed interim pre-close trading update to the market in early July 2014.

 

Following approval by shareholders of the final dividend, as described more fully in the documents sent to shareholders alongside the AGM notice, the dividend timetable is set out below:

 

11 June 2014

Ordinary Shares quoted ex dividend

13 June 2014

Record date for dividend

27 June 2014

Final date for receipt of Scrip Dividend Mandate/CREST Dividend Election Input Message

10 July 2014

Posting of cheques and tax vouchers (as appropriate) (with anticipated receipt date of 11 July 2014)

11 July 2014

Dividend payment date / allotment of new Ordinary Shares / first day of dealing in the new Ordinary Shares

11 July 2014

Posting share certificates

 

Zhang Congming (Executive Chairman), as a shareholder of the Company, has elected to receive his dividend under the Scrip Dividend arrangements as he considers Camkids' share price to be fundamentally undervalued and not reflective of the confidence he has in the future of the Company.

 

The Board is aware of recent press articles about a small number of Chinese companies proposing to delist from AIM, Camkids wishes to reassure investors that it remains fully committed to its AIM listing and continues to see a huge amount of value from it. Camkids has been successful in attracting UK investors both at IPO and subsequently and also receives a large amount of commercial and reputational benefit in China from its listing on AIM.
