Share Repurchase Price
Pacific Alliance China Land Limited ("PACL" or the "Company") announced on 10 November 2014 that it would distribute up to US$10m through a share repurchase (the "Share Repurchase") on Friday, 28 November 2014. The Repurchase Price for the Share Repurchase has been set at $1.78 per share.
Timetable and Process
Shares will be purchased on Friday, 28 November. Edmond de Rothschild Securities (UK) Limited ("Rothschild") has been appointed by the Company to manage the Share Repurchase. Shareholders wishing to sell at this price should contact Rothschild directly by 4pm UK time on Thursday, 27 November to place an order (contact details below).
Investors will also have the opportunity to buy shares from selling shareholders at the Repurchase Price. Investors wishing to buy shares should also contact Rothschild by 4pm UK time on Thursday, 27 November to place an order.
If Rothschild receives client orders to buy shares at the Repurchase Price, these orders will be filled ahead of the Company's repurchase of shares. Any outstanding sell orders will then be met by the Company's Share Repurchase through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PACL Trading Limited. To the extent that remaining sell orders exceed the Company's Share Repurchase budget, these remaining sell orders will be scaled back pro-rata.
If there is cash remaining from the Share Repurchase budget following the execution of all sell and buy orders, this remaining cash will be distributed through a future Share Repurchase or another method to be determined by the Board.
Notes
The price to be paid per share shall not be more than the higher of (i) 5% above the volume weighted average price of the shares for the 5 business days before the purchase is made, or (ii) the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid at the time Rothschild acquires the PACL Shares.
