REGISTRATION OF CAPITAL REDUCTION AND EFFECTIVE DATE
The Company is pleased to announce that, further to the announcement on 10 June 2024, confirming the passing of the resolution at the general meeting of the Company to approve the cancellation of the Company’s share premium account (the “Capital Reduction Resolution”), the reduction of capital (“Capital Reduction”) has now become effective.
Following the passing of this resolution, formal approval by the High Court of Justice (the "Court") of the Capital Reduction was granted on 2 July 2024. The Court order confirming the Capital Reduction and statement of capital approved by the Court, was registered with the Registrar of Companies on 18 July 2024, and therefore the Capital Reduction became effective on this date.
Details of the Capital Reduction, the purpose of which was to create distributable reserves and to enable the Company to address certain historic dividends issues, were more particularly set out in the Company's notice of general meeting, published by the Company on 24 May 2024, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website.
Following the Capital Reduction, the Company’s net asset value and number of ordinary shares of 2,222,862,046 in issue (including 306,358,058 shares held in treasury) remains unchanged.
