Brightside Group plc ("Brightside") is pleased to announce that at the Scheme Court Hearing this morning, the Court has made an order sanctioning the Scheme in connection with the recommended offer for Brightside by Belvedere Bidco Limited ("Bidco"), the terms and conditions of which are contained in a scheme document posted to the Brightside Shareholders on 20 May 2014 (the "Scheme Document").
