Result of Tender Offer
Prime People plc (AIM: PRP), the global group of specialist
recruitment businesses operating in depth, across the Real Estate
& Built Environment sectors , is pleased to announce the result
of the Tender Offer, details of which were set out in the circular
published by the Company on 17 December 2021 (the "Circular").
Capitalised terms in this announcement (unless otherwise defined)
have the same meanings as set out in the Circular.
The maximum aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that can be
purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer is 2,282,628 Ordinary Shares
(representing 18.78 per cent. of the Company's issued share
capital). The Tender Price is 87 pence per Share.
The Tender Offer was oversubscribed with a total of 2,697,754
Ordinary Shares (representing 22.19 per cent. of the Company's
issued share capital) being validly tendered by Shareholders under
the Tender Offer. Shareholders who validly tendered Shares equal to
or less than their Basic Entitlement will have their tender
accepted in full. Shareholders who validly tendered Shares in
excess of their Basic Entitlement will have their tender accepted
in respect of their Basic Entitlement plus approximately 77.88 per
cent. of the number of Ordinary Shares in excess of their Basic
Entitlement that they validly tendered.
After application of the scale-back mechanism, a total of
2,282,628 Ordinary Shares will, therefore, be purchased under the
Tender Offer and subsequently cancelled. The total value which will
be returned to Shareholders pursuant to the Tender Offer will be
approximately GBP1.985 million.
The Company announces that it has been notified that the
Blakeney Holdings Directors Pension Scheme, a pension scheme in
which Sir John Lewis, Non-executive Director of the Company holds a
beneficial interest, tendered 594,750 Ordinary Shares in the Tender
Offer. Following this transaction, Sir John Lewis and persons
closely associated, beneficially hold 500,000 Ordinary Shares
representing 5.06 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital
following the Tender Offer.
Payment of the consideration due to Shareholders whose tenders
under the Tender Offer have been accepted is expected to be
despatched (by cheque or by a CREST payment, as appropriate) along
with balance certificates in respect of non-tendered shares on 21
January 2022.
Following the implementation of the Tender Offer and the
cancellation of the tendered Ordinary Shares, the Company will have
9,874,645 Ordinary Shares in issue.
Cancellation and Re-registration
As previously announced on 12 January 2022, following the
approval of the proposed Cancellation by shareholders at the
General Meeting held on 12 January 2022, the last day of dealings
of the Ordinary Shares on AIM will be 24 January 2022 and the
Cancellation of the admission to trading on AIM of the Ordinary
Shares will become effective following the issue of a Dealing
Notice at 7.00 a.m. on 25 January 2022.
The Re-registration of the Company as a private company is
expected to take place by 11 February 2022.
