RESULTS OF TENDER OFFER
10 August 2015
On 20 July 2015, Orosi (UK) Ltd and PEL (UK) Ltd (entities ultimately beneficially owned by Mr Samuel Tak Lee, together such entities being the "Lee Family Investors") announced the making of a tender offer to acquire up to 25,868,852 ordinary shares in Shaftesbury PLC ("Shaftesbury"), representing up to approximately 9.3 per cent. of the issued share capital of Shaftesbury at a price of 888 pence per share (the "Tender Offer").
The Tender Offer closed at 1.00pm on 10 August 2015 (the "Closing Date").
Pursuant to paragraph 1(g) (Terms of the Tender Offer) of the Tender Offer Document, the Tender Offer was conditional on the receipt by the Lee Family Investors of Tenders totalling not less than 2,781,597 Shaftesbury Shares by the Closing Date. This condition was not satisfied as at the Closing Date so accordingly, the Tender Offer is void.
