Statement re Possible Offer
The Board of AMCO has received a preliminary approach from management which may
or may not lead to an offer being made for the Company. The approach, which is
subject to a number of pre-conditions including funding for the proposal, is at
a price of 275 pence per share, which is below current market price and values
the share capital at approximately #35.6 million. The Independent Directors of
AMCO, Stuart Gordon and Michael Speakman, have given management permission to
pursue the possible offer.
This announcement is made with the agreement of the potential offeror. A further
announcement will be made in due course.
Dealing Disclosure Requirements
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the
'Code'), if any person is, or becomes, 'interested' (directly or indirectly) in
1% or more of any class of 'relevant securities' of AMCO, all 'dealings' in any
'relevant securities' of that company (including by means of an option in
respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such 'relevant securities') must
be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the London
business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement
will continue until the date on which the offer becomes, or is declared,
unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which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 AMCO, 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 AMCO by the Company, or by any of its 'associates', must be
disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London 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 Takeover 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
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, you should consult the Panel.
Disclosure in accordance with Rule 2.10 of the City Code:
In accordance with Rule 2.10 of The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, the
Company confirms that, at the close of business on 10 August 2006, the Company's
issued share capital consisted of 12,934,327 ordinary shares of 10p pence each.
Brewin Dolphin Securities Limited ("Brewin Dolphin"), which is authorised and
regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Services Authority, is acting
for AMCO and no-one else in connection with the matters referred to herein and
will not be responsible to anyone other than AMCO for providing the protections
