WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR
REGULATIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
18 APRIL 2018
RECOMMENDED ACQUISITION
of
STADIUM GROUP PLC
("Stadium" or the "Company")
by
TT ELECTRONICS PLC
("TT")
Scheme of Arrangement (the "Scheme") becomes Effective
The Boards of Stadium and TT are pleased to announce that,
further to yesterday's announcement by Stadium that the Court had
sanctioned the Scheme, the Court Order has been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies today and accordingly the Scheme has now
become effective, in accordance with its terms and Stadium is now a
wholly owned subsidiary of TT.
As previously advised, trading in Stadium Shares on AIM was
suspended with effect from 7.30 a.m. on 17 April 2018. The
cancellation of trading of Stadium Shares on AIM is expected to
take place at 7.00 a.m. on 19 April 2018. As a result of the Scheme
having become effective, share certificates in respect of Stadium
Shares will, by 7.00 a.m. on 19 April 2018, cease to be valid
documents of title and entitlements to Stadium Shares held in
uncertificated form in CREST are being cancelled.
A Scheme Shareholder on the register of members of Stadium at
the Scheme Record Time, being 6.00 p.m. on 17 April 2018, will be
entitled to receive 120 pence for each Scheme Share held.
Settlement of the consideration to which any Scheme Shareholder is
entitled will be effected by way of the despatch of cheques or the
crediting of CREST accounts (for Shareholders holding Scheme Shares
in certificated form and in uncertificated form respectively) as
soon as practicable. The latest date for despatch of cheques and
settlement of the Cash Consideration in relation to the Offer
through CREST is on or by 2 May 2018.
Full details of the Acquisition are set out in the scheme
document dated 15 March 2018 (the "Scheme Document"). Defined terms
used but not defined in this announcement (the "Announcement) have
the same meanings set out in the Scheme Document.
The Company is no longer in an "Offer Period" as defined in the
Code and accordingly the dealing disclosure requirements previously
notified to investors no longer apply.
