The Board of IFTE notes this morning's announcement by Kidde plc that the Offer
by Kidde Holdings Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Kidde plc) for the
Company has been declared unconditional in all respects. The Board of IFTE
emphasises that the Offer by Kidde Holdings is unanimously recommended by the
Directors of IFTE and, in view of the fact that Kidde now controls in excess of
50% of the share capital of IFTE, encourages all shareholders who have not
already done so to take appropriate action in order to accept the Offer as soon
as possible.
