PANTHEON INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPATIONS PLC RESULTS OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING AND RESULTS OF THE OPEN OFFER
The Board of Directors of Pantheon International Participations PLC (the "Company") is pleased to announce that, at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held earlier today, the resolutions relating to the issue of ordinary shares in the capital of the Company by way of the placing and open offer to raise up to approximately ‚£100 million before expenses announced on 21 May 2007, being resolutions to increase the authorised share capital of the Company, to give the Directors authority to allot shares and to disapply pre-emption rights (the "Resolutions") were passed.
In consequence of the Resolutions being passed, the authorised share capital of the Company has been increased from ‚£36,124,695.73 to ‚£43,528,195.73, comprising ‚£42,528,195.73 in nominal amount of ordinary shares of 67 pence each and ‚£1,000,000 in nominal amount of redeemable shares of 1 penny each and the Directors have authority to allot up to ‚£7,403,500 in nominal amount of ordinary shares for the purpose of giving effect to the placing and open offer.
The Board is also pleased to announce that valid applications have been made under the open offer for a total of approximately ‚£33.6 million in new ordinary shares, being approximately ‚£17.6 million in respect of open offer entitlements for new ordinary shares and approximately ‚£16.0 million by way of excess applications. On the basis of current indications under the placing, the issue is likely to be over subscribed. As a result, both the placing indications and excess applications under the open offer are likely to be scaled back. A further announcement will be made in due course.
A copy of the Resolutions will shortly be available for viewing at the document viewing facility of the UKLA.
