Circle Holdings plc
("Circle" or the "Company")
Notification pursuant to AIM Rule 41
Proposed cancellation of trading on AIM
The board of directors of Circle (the "Board") notes the
announcement on 26 April 2017 by DMWSL 849 Limited ("Bidco") that
its recommended cash offer to acquire the entire issued and to be
issued ordinary share capital of Circle (the "Offer") has become
wholly unconditional in all respects.
Bidco has acquired, or agreed to acquire, ordinary shares of
GBP0.02 each in the capital of Circle ("Circle Shares")
representing in excess of 75 per cent. of the voting rights of
Circle. Accordingly, at the request of Bidco, and as set out in the
Offer Document dated 4 April 2017, the Board has applied for the
cancellation of admission to trading on AIM of the Circle Shares
(the "Delisting").
Circle confirms that the 20 business days' notice period for the
Delisting has commenced. Admission of the Circle Shares to trading
on AIM will be cancelled without the requirement for a resolution
of shareholders approving such cancellation pursuant to Rule 41 of
the AIM Rules. It is anticipated that the Delisting will take
effect at 7.00 a.m. (London time) on 1 June 2017.
The Delisting will significantly reduce the liquidity and
marketability of any Circle Shares not acquired by Bidco and the
Board therefore recommends those shareholders who have not already
accepted the Offer to accept the Offer as soon as possible. The
procedure for acceptance of the Offer is set out in the Offer
Document.
