RESULT OF GENERAL MEETING
At the Company's General Meeting held earlier today, the resolutions were put to
the meeting and passed.
These resolutions were to approve:
1. the Company's proposed disposal of WAN Services Limited and the trade and
assets of NetServices plc;
2. the adoption of the Company's proposed investing policy; and
3. the proposed change of name of the Company to Accumuli plc.
Following completion of the proposed disposal, which is expected to take place
later today, NetServices will be treated as an investing company in accordance
with AIM Rule 15. The Company confirms that it will seek to identify further
ways to create value for Shareholders through acquisitions in the Information
Communication Technology market. The Board believes that there are attractive
near term opportunities to acquire assets, either quoted or non quoted, and
through combining aligned businesses, to create value through a combination of
revenue growth and synergistic cost savings.
In future, it is expected that Accumuli will operate as a holding company,
providing strategic and financial management to individual operating divisions.
These divisions will continue to be run independently with separate management,
thus enhancing future disposal potential. In order to achieve this, it is
anticipated that Ian Smith, non-Executive Director, will increasingly play a far
more active role in this strategy utilising his experience and contacts, with
support provided by Graham Norfolk, who will continue to operate as
non-Executive Chairman and Ian Winn who will remain as Finance Director in a
day-to-day executive role.
The investing strategy of the Company will be to acquire controlling stakes,
either through the issue of securities or for cash, in quoted and non-quoted
companies operating in the IT services, technology and communications sectors.
The acquisition strategy will be focused on a limited number of 'buy and build'
opportunities, with the intention of realising value for Shareholders through a
future exit.
As a result of the Disposal and in accordance with AIM Rule 15, the Company must
implement the investing policy within 12 months of Completion, otherwise trading
in the Company's Ordinary Shares on AIM will be suspended in accordance with AIM
Rule 40. If following suspension of the Ordinary Shares in accordance with AIM
Rule 40, the Ordinary Shares have not been re-admitted to trading on AIM within
six months, the admission of the Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM will be
cancelled.
Defined terms used in this announcement have the same meaning as in the
Company's announcement released on 4 May 2010.
