Sale of the Company's shareholding in Albalact SA
Reconstruction Capital II Ltd ("RC2" or the "Company"), a
closed-end investment company incorporated in the Cayman Islands
admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange,
today announces that further to the announcement made on 5 August
2016 relating to the Public Offer for a voluntary takeover bid by
Lactalis of Albalact SA, ("Albalact") a publicly quoted Romanian
dairy company, and following the closing of the Public Offer on 14
September 2016, the Company's 166,100,478 shares, representing a
25.4% stake in Albalact, have been acquired by Lactalis at RON

Accordingly, RC2 has received today a total of RON 87.027

subsequently converted into equity by their holders. Furthermore,
the Directors intend to propose to the shareholders that the bulk
