NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF THAT JURISDICTION

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Termination of Discussions

 

29 June 2011

 

Lookers plc ("Lookers" or the "Company") notes the announcement by Trefick Limited, Moor Park Capital Partners LLP and Brett Palos Capital No. 2 Limited ("the Consortium") that it has no intention to make an offer for Lookers. Accordingly, Lookers is no longer in an offer period for the purposes of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers.

 

The Company confirms that earlier today it received an indicative proposal, subject inter alia to financing and further due diligence, from the Consortium at a level materially below that previously indicated of 80 pence per Lookers share. The Board considered the proposal and unanimously resolved not to pursue this revised reduced proposal. The Board remains committed to the continued development of the Company for the benefit of all its shareholders and stakeholders in the business.

 

Note 7 of Rule 2.4 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers requires the Company to clarify that this statement is being made by the Company without prior agreement with the Consortium.
