 Completion of Shorecal Limited acquisition

 

On 12 March 2024, Domino's Pizza Group plc ("DPG" or the "Company") announced that it had entered into a binding sale and purchase agreement to acquire the remaining 85% shareholding it does not already own in Shorecal Limited, the largest Domino's franchise business operating in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland), for a total consideration of €72m (approximately £62m) (the "Consideration").

The Company is pleased to announce that, following clearance by the Republic of Ireland's Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, the transaction has now completed. 

As previously announced, 61% of the Consideration is payable in cash, with the remaining 39% to be satisfied by an issuance of shares in the Company based on the VWAP of the Company's shares for the trailing 3-month period.

Applications have been made to the Financial Conduct Authority for admission of the 6,700,909 new ordinary shares (the "New Shares") to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to London Stock Exchange plc for admission to trading of such New Shares on its main market for listed securities (together, "Admission") and Admission is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on 16 April 2024. The New Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary share capital of the Company.

In accordance with the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, following this issue, the Company's issued share capital consists of 401,443,336 ordinary shares of 25/48 pence each.

The figure of 401,443,336 ordinary shares should be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
