Members' Voluntary Liquidation and Cancellation of AIM Listing
Nettworx announces that following a review of the Company's current investment
strategy, the directors propose that the Company should be wound up by way of a
members' voluntary liquidation ('Liquidation') and its assets distributed to
shareholders. In order to enable the Liquidation, the Company proposes that the
Ordinary Shares be cancelled from admission to trading on AIM. A circular has
been posted to shareholders today convening a general meeting at which
resolutions will be proposed to approve the Liquidation and cancellation of AIM
listing. The circular is available on the Company's website at
www.nettworxplc.com.
Nettworx was admitted to AIM on 21 December 2005 in
order to acquire and invest in companies which could benefit from the
convergence of voice, video and data and fixed line and mobile networks. The
Directors have evaluated numerous opportunities since admission but, with the
exception of Sim4Travel, none have met all the strict investment criteria agreed
by the Board. Therefore, as the majority of cash has been retained, the Board
has decided that the best course of action is to return this capital to
shareholders through the Liquidation. The Directors believe that shareholders
will welcome this outcome in the current economic environment.
Liquidation
The Company will be placed in members' voluntary liquidation and its assets will
be distributed to the shareholders. It is anticipated that, following the
passing of the resolutions, the Company be wound up voluntarily and that Antony
Batty of Antony Batty & Company LLP will be appointed as liquidator for the
purposes of the Liquidation.
The Directors are of the view that, other than cash, there are no assets of the
Company with more than negligible realisable value, although the liquidator will
seek to maximise realisations of any such assets held for the benefit of
creditors and contributories in accordance with his statutory duties.
Cancellation
Pursuant to Rule 41 of the AIM Rules, the Board has notified the London Stock
Exchange of its intention to cancel (subject to the passing of the resolution at
the General Meeting) the admission of the Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM.
A General Meeting of Nettworx has been convened, which will be held at 5 Savile
Row, London W1S 3PD at 10:00 A.M. on 5 June 2009 and at which resolutions will
be proposed to enable the members' voluntary liquidation of Nettworx Plc and
cancellation of admission to trading of Nettworx Plc shares on AIM. If the
resolutions are passed at the General Meeting, the last day of trading of the
Company's Ordinary Shares will be 14 June 2009 and the cancellation of trading
on AIM will be effective from 07:00 A.M. on 15 June 2009.
