Raven Russia is today posting a circular to its shareholders containing full details of the Tender Offer Alternative to the Interim Dividend and notice of a General Meeting convened for 11 am on Thursday 3 November 2011.
As set out in the announcement on 8 September 2011, the Company declared the Interim Dividend of 1.25p per Ordinary Share but retained a tender offer buyback as an alternative for all shareholders who have qualified for the Interim Dividend on the record date of 7 October 2011. Shareholders may participate by tendering all or a proportion of their entitlement of 1 for every 46 Ordinary Shares at 58p per share as an alternative to receiving the Interim Dividend.
Any fractional entitlements, proportions of shareholdings not tendered and invalid tenders will receive the Interim Dividend of 1.25p per Ordinary Share. Ordinary Shares purchased under the Tender Offer Alternative will be held as treasury shares. No Ordinary Shares will be purchased in relation to the Tender Offer Alternative unless the relevant resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting convened for 3 November 2011 is passed. If the maximum number of 12,915,035 Ordinary Shares is purchased under the Tender Offer Alternative this will result in a maximum of £7.49million being paid by the Company to its shareholders.
