Possible Offer for Wogen plc ("Possible Offer")
Wogen plc ("Wogen" or the "Company") today announces that it has received an
initial approach regarding
a possible offer from a management team
comprising the Executive Directors of the Company and
Colin Williams (the
"Management Team") in respect of the issued share capital of the Company not
currently owned by the Management Team, certain other employees and connected
persons and which, if made, will be priced at 36 pence cash per Wogen ordinary
share.
The Company has accordingly established a committee of the independent
directors, led by the Chairman, Michael Hutchinson, (the "Independent
Committee"). The Independent Committee is in discussions with the Management
Team which may or may not lead to an offer being made for the Company.
The Management Team is being led by Damian Brousse and it controls approximately
61 per cent of the current issued share capital of the Company. This
announcement has been made with the consent of the Management Team.
The Independent Committee emphasises that there can be no certainty as to the
outcome of these discussions. A further announcement will be made in due course.
Number of Relevant Securities in Issue:
In accordance with Rule 2.10 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the
'Code'), the Company's issued share capital consists of 44,905,000 ordinary
shares with a nominal value of 5 pence each ('Ordinary Shares'), each share
having equal voting rights.
The ISIN number of the Ordinary Shares is GB00B0LMC209

Dealing disclosures requirements:
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Code, if any person is or becomes
'interested' (directly or indirectly) in one per cent. or more of any class of
'relevant securities' of the Company, all 'dealings' in any 'relevant
securities' of the Company by such person (including by means of an option in
respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such 'relevant securities') must
be publicly disclosed to a Regulatory Information Service and the Panel on
Takeovers and Mergers ('Panel') by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the
London business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This
requirement will continue until the date on which, if the offer is made by way
of a scheme, the scheme becomes effective, lapses or is withdrawn or the date
on which the 'offer period' otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together
pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to
acquire an 'interest' in 'relevant securities' of the Company, they will be
deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all 'dealings' in 'relevant
securities' of the Company, by the Company, or by any of it's respective
'associates', must also be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon(London time) on
the business day following the date of the relevant transaction.
A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose 'relevant
securities' 'dealings' should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in
issue, can be found on the Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.
'Interests in securities' arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of 'relevant
securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an 'interest' by
virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in
respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the
Panel's website.
If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required to disclose a
'dealing' under Rule 8, please contact an independent financial adviser
authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, consult the
Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk or contact the Panel by telephone
(+44 (0) 20 7638 0129) or by fax (+44 (0) 20 7236 7013).
