VSA Capital Group plc
("VSA" or the "Company"
Response to press speculation concerning Ambrian Capital PLC
The board of VSA (the "Board") notes press speculation about a
possible bid approach by VSA for Ambrian Capital PLC ("Ambrian")
and wishes to clarify its position.
Whilst the Board would like to enter into a dialogue with and
has made a tentative approach to Ambrian to explore a business
combination with VSA it confirms that VSA is not in talks with
Ambrian about any such business combination and is not in the
course of preparing, and has no intention of making, an offer for
Ambrian.
Under Rule 2.8 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the
"City Code"), and except with the consent of the Panel on Takeovers
and Mergers (the "Panel"), the statement in the preceding paragraph
will prevent VSA or anyone acting in concert with it from
announcing an offer or possible offer for Ambrian or taking certain
other action within the next 6 months unless there has occurred an
event, as set out below, which enables the statement to be set
aside.
Accordingly, for the purposes of Rule 2.8 of the City Code, VSA
reserves the right (on behalf of itself and anyone acting in
concert with it) to announce an offer or possible offer for Ambrian
and/or to take any other action which would otherwise be restricted
under Rule 2.8 of the City Code within the next 6 months in the
event that:
(i) the agreement or recommendation of the board of Ambrian is
given to the making of such an announcement or the taking of such
other action; or
(ii) a third party announces an offer or possible offer for
Ambrian; or
(iii) if any announcement is made by or on behalf of Ambrian
that it is in discussions which may or may not lead to an offer or
formally or informally invites an offer for Ambrian; or
(iv) Ambrian announces a "whitewash proposal" or a "reverse
takeover" (each as defined in the City Code).
