COMPULSORY ACQUISITION OF OUTSTANDING MELORIO PLC SHARES
On 21 May 2010 Pearson plc ("Pearson") made an offer for the entire issued and
to be issued ordinary share capital of Melorio plc ("Melorio") (the "Offer").
Pearson announces that by 6 July 2010 it owned, had received valid acceptances
in respect of or otherwise contracted to acquire 39,778,713 Melorio Shares,
representing approximately 99.3 per cent of the Melorio Shares to which the
Offer relates.
Accordingly, having received more than 90 per cent in value of, and more than 90
per cent of the voting rights carried by, the Melorio Shares, Pearson is today
despatching compulsory acquisition notices under sections 979 and 980 of the
Companies Act 2006 to the holders of Melorio Shares who have not yet accepted
the Offer. The transfer of the compulsorily acquired Melorio Shares to Pearson
is expected to take place on or after 18 August 2010.
The Offer will remain open until further notice.
Terms defined in the Offer Document dated 21 May 2010 have the same meaning in
this announcement unless the context otherwise requires.
