ISSUE OF ZERO DIVIDEND PREFERENCE SHARES: RESULT OF PLACING AND PUBLICATION OF PROSPECTUS
On 20th July 2009, Electra Private Equity plc (�Electra�) announced that its new wholly-owned subsidiary, Electra Private Equity Investments PLC (the �Company�) was undertaking an institutional cash placing (the �Placing�) through the issue of Zero Dividend Preference Shares (�ZDPs�). The pathfinder prospectus in connection with the Placing was published on 22nd July 2009 and the final prospectus (the �Prospectus") has been published by the Company today.
Electra is pleased to announce that 43 million ZDPs have been placed with institutions at a Placing Price of 100 pence per ZDP. The Placing has now closed in accordance with its terms.
The ZDPs are expected to be admitted to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market at 8.00 a.m. on 5th August 2009.
The ZDPs will have an initial capital entitlement of 96.26 pence and will be entitled to a final capital entitlement of 155.41 pence on 5th August 2016. Receipt of the final capital entitlement of 155.41 pence on 5th August 2016 would equate to a redemption yield of 6.5 per cent. per annum based on the Placing Price.
