Cairn Homes plc
Proposed Secondary Placing
Cairn Homes plc ("Cairn Homes" or the "Company") has been advised today by
Michael Stanley, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, that he is
proposing to sell up to 3.5 million shares in the Company (the "Placing
Shares"), representing approximately 0.6 per cent. of the Company's issued
share capital, via an accelerated bookbuild (the "Placing") through
Goodbody Stockbrokers UC ("Goodbody").
Michael Stanley currently holds approximately 2.4 per cent. of the voting
rights of the Company and following the Placing, assuming the Placing is
fully placed, he will hold approximately 1.8 per cent. of the issued share
capital in the Company. If the Placing proceeds, Michael Stanley has
agreed with Goodbody not to sell any of his remaining shares for a period
of six months (subject to certain customary exceptions).
Goodbody has been appointed as Sole Bookrunner (the "Bookrunner") in
respect of the Placing, which will be launched immediately following this
announcement through an accelerated bookbuild, open to certain existing
and new investors. The final number of Placing Shares to be placed and the
placing price will be agreed by Goodbody and Michael Stanley at the close
of the bookbuild process, and the results of the Placing will be announced
as soon as practicable thereafter. The timing for the close of the
bookbuild process, pricing and allocation are at the absolute discretion
of Goodbody.
