("Jaywing" or the "Company")
Circular Amendment
Further to the announcement of 10 January 2025, the Company has amended "Section 6" of the Circular posted to shareholders on 10 January 2025, to update the Takeover Code disclosures in anticipation of changes to the Takeover Code, which are to take effect from 3 February 2025. The updated Circular will not be re-posted to shareholders but will be published on the Company's website https://www.jaywing.com/views/investors/
An extract of the updated Takeover Panel disclosure contained in the Circular can be found below:
"The Takeover Code (the "Code") applies to any company which has its registered office in the UK, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man if any of its equity share capital or other transferable securities carrying voting rights are admitted to trading on a UK regulated market, a UK MTF, or a stock exchange in the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man. The Code therefore applies to the Company as its securities are admitted to trading on AIM, which is a UK regulated market.
The Code also applies to any company which has its registered office in the UK, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man if any of its securities were admitted to trading on a UK regulated market, a UK MTF, or a stock exchange in the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man at any time during the two years prior to the relevant date.
Accordingly, if the Delisting is approved by Shareholders at the General Meeting and becomes effective, the Code will continue to apply to the Company for a period of two years after the Delisting, following which the Code will cease to apply to the Company.
While the Code continues to apply to the Company, a mandatory cash offer will be required to be made if either:
(a) a person acquires an interest in shares which, when taken together with the shares in which persons acting in concert with it are interested, increases the percentage of shares carrying voting rights in which it is interested to 30% or more; or
(b) a person, together with persons acting in concert with it, is interested in shares which in the aggregate carry not less than 30% of the voting rights of a company but does not hold shares carrying more than 50% of such voting rights and such person, or any person acting in concert with it, acquires an interest in any other shares which increases the percentage of shares carrying voting rights in which it is interested.
Brief details of the Takeover Panel, and of the protections afforded by the Code, are set out in Part III of this document".
