Pacific Alliance China Land Limited (AIM: PACL)
US$10m Distribution through Share Repurchase
Pacific Alliance China Land Limited ("PACL" or the "Company") announces that it will distribute up to US$10m through a share repurchase (the "Share Repurchase"), pursuant to approval of the Board's proposals at the EGM on 25 July 2014. The Company has appointed Edmond de Rothschild Securities (UK) Limited ("Rothschild") to manage the Share Repurchase.
Timetable
The Repurchase Price will be announced on Monday, 24 November 2014. Shares will be purchased on Friday, 28 November 2014. Shareholders wishing to participate in the Share Repurchase should contact Rothschild (details below) by 4pm UK time on Thursday, 27 November 2014 to place an order.
Investors will also be given 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 2014 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 Repurchase Price will be set by Rothschild on Monday, 24 November 2104 and 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.
