Proposed Return of Capital and Cancellation of Admission to
Trading
The board of directors of Gloo Networks plc ("Gloo" or the
"Company") announces that, following a comprehensive review, it has
concluded that it is in the best interests of shareholders to
return Gloo's remaining capital by means of a voluntary liquidation
of the Company.
Arnaud de Puyfontaine, non-executive chairman of Gloo, said:
"Since its inception, Gloo has adopted a disciplined and rigorous
approach to assessing acquisition opportunities, which led to a
review of more than 90 potential assets and in-depth discussions
with 11 target companies.
"As part of that process, management engaged with trusted brands
where it saw an opportunity to create shareholder value by
acquiring strong operating assets that combined predictable
revenues and digital growth potential.
"The Board has conducted a strategic review of the current
pipeline of potential acquisitions within our target sectors that
demonstrate the requisite financial characteristics. Given the
likely timeframe to a possible acquisition, the Board concluded
that shareholders would be best served through the return of Gloo's
remaining capital. I would like to thank CEO Rebecca Miskin and her
management team for their tireless efforts to identify and acquire
growth assets for Gloo. And I would like to thank shareholders for
their support and patience as we explored such opportunities."
The Board's decision follows Gloo's announcement of 28 March
2018, when the Company said it was no longer considering a reverse
takeover among the acquisition opportunities that it had
reviewed.
It is anticipated that after expenses, including the costs of
the planned liquidation, Gloo shareholders would receive no less
than 47p per share. A circular convening a General Meeting to
approve the appointment of a liquidator and the cancellation of the
Company's admission to trading on the AIM Market (the "de-listing")
is expected to be distributed by the board on Friday 11 May 2018.
The de-listing will occur no earlier than 5 June 2018.
James Corsellis, a Managing Partner at Marwyn Investment
Management and a Director of Gloo, said: "As Gloo's largest
shareholder and investment partner, we are enormously grateful for
the financial discipline and dedication of Rebecca and the entire
Gloo team over the last three years assessing such a wide range of
potential investment opportunities. We wish them all the best for
the future."
Gloo's directors intend to remain in office until the General
Meeting to facilitate the orderly execution of the liquidation.
