Dublin/London, 10 November 2016: Independent News & Media
PLC ("INM" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the proposed
restructuring of its balance sheet, by way of a capital reduction
("Capital Reduction") and cancellation of authorised Deferred
Shares.
The proposals are subject to the passing of two special
resolutions by Shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting of
the Company, to be held at the O'Callaghan Alexander Hotel, 41 - 47
Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland at 2.00 p.m. on 5 December, 2016
(the "EGM").
If approved by Shareholders, and subsequently confirmed by the
High Court, the Capital Reduction will result in the cancellation
or partial cancellation of certain reserve balances of the Company
and will eliminate the existing deficit on the Company's profit and
loss account, providing the Company with a strengthened balance
sheet and solid financial foundation for its future.
As there are no longer any Deferred Shares in issue, the Board
also proposes to take the opportunity to remove from the
Constitution all references to Deferred Shares and to reduce the
authorised (but unissued) share capital of the Company by
cancelling the now obsolete class of Deferred Shares.
The Circular (including the notice of EGM) will be shortly
available on the Company's website,
http://www.inmplc.com/investor-relations/.
Copies of the Circular (including the notice of EGM) have been
submitted to the Irish Stock Exchange and the National Storage
Mechanism (http://www.hemscott.com/nsm.do) from where it may also
be obtained.
Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this
announcement will have the same meanings given to them within the
Circular.
