NORTHAMBER PLC
('Northamber' or 'the Company')
Result of EGM
Northamber PLC announces that at the Extraordinary General Meeting that was held
this morning ('EGM') the sole resolution proposed at the meeting was duly
passed.
The Board is pleased to announce that as a result of the EGM it can return a net
amount of GBP2,938,310, or 10 pence per Existing Ordinary Share, to Shareholders
that it considers to be surplus to the Company's working capital requirements.
The Return of Cash is being made by means of a C Share structure, pursuant to
which Shareholders will receive, following the Share Split, one New Ordinary
Share and one C Share for each Existing Ordinary Share held at 5.00 p.m. on 2
April 2008.
The C Shares will be acquired by Walker Crips Stockbrokers Limited ('Walker
Crips') for GBP3,064,000, representing 10 pence per C Share plus certain
expenses ('Expenses'). Shareholders will receive a net payment of 10 pence per C
Share and the Expenses will be paid to a company within the same group as Walker
Crips. It is expected that the Company will at that point enter into an option
to buy back all of the C Shares for the same aggregate price as paid by Walker
Crips, with the buyback being expected to complete on 11 April 2008.
The expected timetable is set out below:-
