Cash Offer by
Acorn Global Investments Limited
for
Dhir India Investments plc
Offer Closed
On 12 January 2012, Acorn Global Investments Limited ("Acorn") announced that
its cash offer (the "Offer") of 42 pence per Dhir India Investments plc ("DII")
share (the "Offer Price") for the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share
capital of DII was wholly unconditional and that the Offer would remain open
until 1.00 pm on 25 January 2012 at which time it would be closed.
Level of Acceptance
As at 1:00 p.m. on 25 January 2012, Acorn had received valid acceptances of the
Offer in respect of 16,144,931 DII Shares representing, in total, approximately
96.87 per cent. of DII's entire issued share capital.
Prior to making the Offer, neither Acorn, the Acorn Directors nor any persons
acting in concert with Acorn owned or had any beneficial or non-beneficial
interest in the share capital of DII.
Save as disclosed in this announcement, neither Acorn, the Acorn Directors nor
any persons acting in concert with Acorn, is interested in or has any rights to
subscribe for any DII Shares nor does any such person have any short position
(whether conditional or absolute and whether in the money or otherwise),
including any short position under a derivative or any arrangement in relation
to DII Shares. For these purposes, "arrangement" includes any agreement to
sell or any delivery obligation or right to require another person to purchase
or take delivery of DII Shares and any borrowing or lending of DII Shares which
have not been on-lent or sold and any outstanding irrevocable commitment or
letter of intent with respect to DII Shares.
Consideration
Settlement of the consideration due to DII Shareholders who have already
provided valid and complete acceptances under the Offer will be despatched (or
in respect of DII Shares held in uncertificated form, credited through CREST)
within 14 days of the date on which such acceptances are received or, in the
case of electronic acceptances, made.
Compulsory acquisition and quotation on AIM
Acorn now owns 96.87 per cent. of DII's entire issued share capital. In view of
this and having taken advice, Acorn does not believe it is feasible to meet the
conditions necessary for DII to continue to be suitable for quotation on AIM.
Accordingly, Acorn has decided to seek cancellation of admission of DII's
shares to trading on AIM as soon as practicable. Pursuant to AIM Rule 41, the
Company's shares will be cancelled from trading on AIM at 7:00 a.m. on Thursday
23 February 2012.
A decision will be taken in due course as to whether or not Acorn wishes to
exercise its right in accordance with, and within the time limits prescribed
by, Isle of Man company law to compulsorily acquire the DII shares not already
owned by Acorn at 1:00 p.m. on 25 January 2012 and such decision, when made,
will be notified to the holders of the DII Shares not owned by Acorn.
