NTR plc – EGM Approves Redemption Offer
June 26 2008
At an EGM of NTR plc (NTR) held in Dublin today, shareholders of the Company approved the Redemption Offer recommended by the Board of NTR, through which shareholders will be offered on a pro-rata basis, the opportunity to receive up to €275 million in aggregate, through a redemption of Ordinary Shares, at a price of €6.65 per Ordinary Share.
In September 2006, in conjunction with raising €170 million through a share placing, NTR announced its intention to provide a liquidity event opportunity for shareholders by the end of 2009. Following the sale of its interests in the West-Link toll facility and Airtricity Holdings Limited, for an aggregate consideration of over €1.3 billion, NTR is in a position to complete the liquidity event for an amount up to €275 million, some fifteen months earlier than originally proposed.
The proposed redemption price of €6.65 per Ordinary Share falls within a fair market value range set out in a valuation opinion received by the Board of NTR from Morgan Stanley.
