Completion of Disposal
Result of General Meeting
Further to the announcement made by the Company on 30 April 2010, the Company is
pleased to announce the passing of the resolution to approve the disposal (the
"Disposal") of the entire issued share capital of DF Property Portfolio Limited
("DFPP"), the holding company of Dataforce Interact Limited ("Interact"), at the
General Meeting of the Company held earlier today and that the Disposal has now
been completed.
The initial consideration for the disposal is GBP7,239,610 ("Initial
Consideration") plus deferred consideration of GBP2,953,500 to be paid over two
years ("Deferred Consideration").
The Initial Consideration is subject to adjustment depending on the value of the
net current assets and net cash position of DFPP and Interact (the "Interact
Group") at completion of the Disposal ("Completion") and the net debt position
between the Company and its remaining subsidiaries (the "Remaining Group") and
the Interact Group at Completion.
The Deferred Consideration is payable in two instalments over two years. The sum
of GBP1,892,000 is payable on the first anniversary of Completion and the sum of
GBP1,061,500 is payable on the second anniversary of Completion.
Following receipt of the Initial Consideration and repayment of outstanding bank
debt facilities, deal fees and working capital adjustment under the sale and
purchase agreement, the Company expects to have net cash of approximately
GBP3.5m. Twenty now intends to concentrate on accelerating it's strategy to
become a market leader in the development and deployment of digital integrated
marketing platforms.
Commenting on the completion of the Disposal, Ian Lancaster, Chief Executive
said:
"This sale represents a refocusing of Twenty plc in the fastest growing segment
of the marketing services space where we feel that we are developing a real edge
in our product portfolio and that the business is well placed to take advantage
of the increase in digital spend."
