Results of General and Court Meetings

On 8 June 2023, Egdon announced the publication and posting of the Scheme Document regarding the terms of a recommended all cash acquisition by Petrichor for the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital (other than those shares already owned by or on behalf of Petrichor) of Egdon (the "Acquisition"). 

Egdon is pleased to announce that at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting, each convened in relation to the proposed Scheme and held earlier today, approval of the relevant resolutions at each meeting was obtained.

The total number of Egdon Shares in issue at the Voting Record Time was 544,233,031. Scheme Shareholders were entitled to one vote per Scheme Share held at the Voting Record Time at the Court Meeting and Egdon Shareholders were entitled to one vote per Egdon Share held at the Voting Record Time at the General Meeting.

Next Steps

Egdon will in due course announce an update on the proposed Acquisition and expected Scheme timetable of principal events.

Mark Abbott, Chief Executive of Egdon, commented:

"I would like to thank our shareholders for their support in passing the resolutions to approve and implement the Acquisition by Petrichor. We will now focus on the remaining Conditions to be satisfied, including seeking approval from the NSTA, prior to the Court Hearing to sanction the Acquisition. We will update our shareholders as soon as we have any further information in this regard."
