INTU PROPERTIES PLC
SALE OF RIGHTS ISSUE RUMP
22 April 2014
Intu Properties plc ("Intu" or the "Company") announced earlier today that it had received valid acceptances in respect of 275,493,790 New Shares, representing approximately 99.0 per cent. of the total number of New Shares offered to Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to the fully underwritten Rights Issue announced by the Company on 20 March 2014.
The Company announces that Merrill Lynch International, UBS Limited and HSBC Bank plc as joint bookrunners, have procured subscribers for the 2,747,838 New Shares for which valid acceptances were not received, at a price of 289.50 pence or Rand 51.27 per New Share.
The net proceeds from the sale of such New Shares after deduction of the UK Issue Price of 180 pence (or its equivalent in Rand at the time of the sale, as the case may be) per New Share and the expenses of procuring subscribers (including any applicable brokerage and other commissions and amounts attributable to value added tax and currency conversion costs, if any), will be paid (without interest and after deducting currency conversion costs) to those persons whose rights have lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Right Issue, pro rata to their lapsed provisional allotments, save that individual amounts of less than £5.00 (or the Rand equivalent on the relevant date, as the case may be) will not be so paid but will be aggregated and paid to the Company. Payments will be made in pounds sterling where payable to Qualifying Non-CREST Shareholders and Qualifying CREST Shareholders (other than Qualifying South African Shareholders) and in Rand where payable to Qualifying South African Shareholders and any currency conversions from pounds sterling to Rand or Rand to pounds sterling as appropriate shall be at the spot price on the relevant date (with such conversion rate to be determined by the Company in its absolute discretion).
As at 25 April 2014, following completion of the Rights Issue, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 1,252,087,329. This figure may then be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Capitalised terms not defined herein are defined at Part XII "Definitions" of the prospectus published by the Company dated 20 March 2014.
