Pelatro Plc

 

("Pelatro" or the "Company")

 

Proposed Cancellation and Directorate change

 

 

Pelatro announces that the Board has resolved, after careful consideration, to
seek cancellation of trading of the Company's ordinary shares on AIM (the
"Cancellation") as the Board considers that being listed is no longer in the
best interest of the Company. In reaching this conclusion, the Board has
considered the following key factors (amongst others):

 

·      the considerable cost, management time and the legal and
regulatory burden associated with maintaining the Company's admission to
trading on AIM which, in the Directors' opinion, are  disproportionate to the
benefits to the Company; and

·      the continued admission to trading on AIM no longer sufficiently
provides the Company with the advantages of providing access to capital.

 

The Directors are aware that, should the proposed Cancellation be approved by
Shareholders at a General Meeting and become effective, it would make it more
difficult to buy and sell ordinary shares in the Company following
Cancellation.  Therefore, should the proposed Cancellation be approved, the
Company intends to implement a Matched Bargain Facility to assist Shareholders
with conducting transactions in the Company's ordinary shares.

A further announcement will be made in due course with full details of the
background to and reasons for the proposed Cancellation as well as the
principal effect of the proposed Cancellation. A circular will also be posted
to shareholders with detailed information of the proposed Cancellation,
setting out the requisite notice periods and timetable per AIM Rule 41.

 

In addition, Nic Hellyer, Chief Financial Officer, has resigned from the
Company's Board in order to pursue other business interests. Nic will remain
with the Company for a period of time to assist with the proposed Cancellation
and the Company's financial and other statutory reporting requirements, with
his resignation from the Company's Board taking immediate effect. The Group
finance function, based in Bangalore, remains unaffected.

 

 

Harry Berry, Chairman of Pelatro, commented:

 

"Nic has been with Pelatro since before our IPO in December 2017 and has made
a significant contribution to the growth of the company since then. We wish
him well for his future endeavours."
