Compulsory Acquisition Procedure
The Offer by Elektron for the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share
capital of Hartest not already owned by Elektron closed on 14 September 2010.
On 15 September 2010 Elektron announced that it had received valid acceptances
in respect of more than 90 per cent. in nominal value of the Hartest Shares to
which the Offer relates and therefore Elektron had resolved to exercise its
rights pursuant to the provisions of Part 28 of the Companies Act 2006 to
compulsorily acquire all remaining Hartest Shares in respect of which
acceptances had not been received prior to closing of the Offer.
Elektron is today sending to those Hartest Shareholders who did not validly
accept the Offer (including all Overseas Shareholders) a notice in the
prescribed form that Elektron will compulsorily acquire all their Hartest Shares
at a price of 90 pence per Hartest Share with effect from 5 November 2010, being
the date falling 6 weeks from the date of such notices.
On 5 November 2010 Elektron will make payment to Hartest of the aggregate cash
consideration due in respect of all the compulsory acquired Hartest Shares.
Hartest shall hold such consideration on trust in accordance with section 982 of
the Companies Act 2006 until such time as non-accepting Hartest Shareholders
contact Hartest.
Those Hartest Shareholders who did not validly accept the Offer must make a
written application to Hartest (accompanied by satisfactory evidence of their
identity and title to their Hartest Shares) in order to receive payment from
Hartest of the purchase price for their Hartest Shares.
Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement shall have the
meaning given to them in the offer document dated 30 July 2010.
A copy of this announcement will be published on Elektron's website at
www.elektronplc.com.
