This follows a statement made in the Offer Document by CPI Group, a.s. that it intended to procure as soon as practicable that the board of Ablon proceeds with the Cancellation.

The board of directors of the Company has unanimously voted in favour of the Cancellation and by way of this announcement shareholders of Ablon are being given the required notice under the Listing Rules of at least 20 business days' notice of the intended Cancellation. It is therefore expected that the last day of dealing in the ordinary shares of Ablon on the Main Market will be 30 May 2013. Cancellation is expected to take effect at 8.00 a.m. on 31 May 2013.
