FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
17 April 2009
Delek Global Real Estate plc
("DGRE" or the "Company")
Proposed Interim Dividend and Adjournment of Court Meeting
The Company announced on 20 March 2009 that it was not proposing a final
dividend in relation to the year ended 31 December 2008 as a direct result of
Delek Belron International Limited ("DBI"), its controlling shareholder,
indicating to the Board of DGRE that it would vote against any such proposed
dividend.
After discussions between the Independent Directors of DGRE, certain minority
shareholders of the Company and DBI, the Board of DGRE today announces an
interim dividend of seven pence per DGRE Share.
This dividend will be payable on 5 May 2009 (or as soon as practicable
thereafter) to those DGRE Shareholders whose names are on the register at the
close of business on 1 May 2009. The DGRE Shares will become ex-dividend on 29
April 2009.
Part of the interim dividend otherwise payable to DBI (amounting to
approximately GBP15.1 million in total) will be applied by the Company in
repaying in full the outstanding amount under the loan to DBI (inclusive of
accrued interest and expenses), which was the subject of an announcement dated
31 March 2009.
The decision to pay this dividend necessitates changes to the circular sent to
DGRE Shareholders on 24 March 2009, which contained details of a proposal
whereby DBI intends to acquire, for 50 pence in cash, the entire issued share
capital of DGRE (which it and Delek Real Estate Limited do not, taken together,
already own), to be effected by way of a scheme of arrangement between DGRE and
the Scheme Shareholders under Article 125 of the Jersey Law (the "Proposal"). A
supplementary circular relating to the Proposal will be sent to DGRE
Shareholders in due course.
Consequently, the board of DGRE announces that it intends to adjourn the Court
Meeting scheduled to be held later today to a date to be fixed. DGRE intends to
apply to the Court to reconvene the Court Meeting and consequently to change the
date of the Court Hearing. The dates of the reconvened Court Meeting and the
Court Hearing will be announced and circulated to Scheme Shareholders once
fixed.
Terms defined in the Scheme Document dated 24 March 2009 have the same meanings
as in this announcement.
