RELEVANT LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION
Robotic Technology Systems plc ("RTS" or the "Company")
Withdrawal of possible offer by Industrial Acquisition Vehicle Limited ("IAV")
On 13 May 2009, the board of RTS announced that the Company was in talks which
might or might not lead to an offer for the entire issued share capital of the
Company and that there was no certainty that the talks would result in such an
offer.
On 5 June 2009, IAV announced that it had acquired a 24.5% shareholding in the
Company and that it was in discussions with the board of the Company with regard
to a possible offer for its entire issued share capital.
IAV wishes to inform that it has been unable to agree price and terms with the
board of RTS for a full takeover offer for the Company and, accordingly, is no
longer considering making such an offer.
IAV nevertheless remains the Company's largest shareholder and expects to
support the Company in developing a successful and profitable strategy over the
coming months.
Important Notice
Under Rule 2.8 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers ("City Code"), and
except with the consent of the Panel, the statement detailed above will prevent
IAV or anyone acting in concert with it from announcing an offer or possible
offer for RTS or taking certain other action within the next six months unless
there has occurred an event which is specified as enabling the statement to be
set aside. Accordingly, for the purposes of Rule 2.8 of the City Code, IAV
reserves the right (on behalf of itself and anyone acting in concert with it) to
announce an offer or possible offer for RTS and/or to take any other action
which would otherwise be restricted under Rule 2.8 of the City Code within the
next six months in the event that:
(i) the agreement or recommendation of the board of RTS is forthcoming;
(ii) a third party announces an offer or possible offer for RTS;
(iii) RTS announces a 'whitewash proposal' or a 'reverse takeover' (each as
defined in the City Code);or
(iv) there is a material change in circumstances.
The City Code does not place any restrictions on IAV's ability to acquire any of
the assets of RTS.
