Directors' interests
and Irrevocable undertakings
Further to the announcement released by Renovo Group PLC
("Renovo") on 22 July 2013 that it intended to make a recommended
offer to acquire all the shares in Ultimate Finance Group plc
("UFG") which it does not already own, it has come to the attention
of Renovo and UFG that the interest of Roger McDowell, the Chairman
of UFG, in the share capital of UFG is 2,085,888 shares and not, as
incorrectly stated in that announcement, the Scheme Document and
the Prospectus, 2,672,500 shares. Copies of the Scheme Document and
the Prospectus by which the acquisition is proposed to be made were
posted on 30 July 2013. Words and phrases in this announcement have
the same meaning as in the Scheme Document and the Prospectus.
The number of shares in respect of which the Directors of UFG
have entered into irrevocable undertakings to vote in favour of the
Scheme at the Court Meeting and the Special Resolution at the
General Meeting in respect of their beneficial interests in UFG
Shares therefore amounts in aggregate to 8,998,129 UFG Shares
(including UFG Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of
options granted under the UFG Share Scheme), representing
approximately 12.06 per cent. of the issued share capital of
UFG.
Further, Renovo has therefore received irrevocable undertakings
in respect of a total of 30,955,794 UFG Shares, representing in
aggregate approximately 41.48% of the issued share capital of UFG,
to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and of the
Special Resolution at the UFG General Meeting.
