Kofax® Limited (NASDAQ and LSE: KFX), a leading provider of smart process applications that simplify and transform the First MileT of customer engagement, today announced that following the special general meeting of the Company held at 11:00 a.m. U.K. time on February 9, 2015, the board of directors of the Company has resolved at a meeting held today, to request the cancellation of the premium listing of its shares (ISIN BMG5307C1055) ("Shares") from the official list maintained by the UK Financial Conduct Authority ("Official List") and the cancellation of the admission to trading of the Shares on the main market for listed securities of London Stock Exchange plc ("LSE"). The details are as follows:

Reason for Applying to Delist

Kofax has decided to apply for the delisting to reduce on-going costs and simplify the on-going administrative and regulatory requirements of the Company. In reaching the decision the board of directors has taken the following factors into account:

 
 
    -- In excess of 75% of the Company's Common Shares are held by U.S. 

shareholders, board members and affiliated parties;

 
    -- The majority of the Company's total daily share trading volume 

routinely occurs on the NASDAQ Global Select Market ("NASDAQ");

 
    -- International investors have demonstrated their willingness to deal in 

the Company's Common Shares on NASDAQ; and

 
    -- The directors estimate that the annual costs associated with 

maintaining the listing on the Official List of the LSE currently

amount to at least $750,000.

Delisting Schedule

An application has been made to the UK Listing Authority for the Shares to be removed from the Official List and to the LSE for their cancellation from trading. The delisting and cancellation of trading of the Shares on the LSE is expected on or around March 31, 2015 (the "Cancellation Date").

Prior to the Cancellation Date, holders of depositary interests in respect of the Shares ("Depositary Interests") will receive a notification from the Computershare Investor Services PLC , the Depositary Interests Agent, outlining the actions to be taken to cancel their Depositary Interests and have Shares issued to their DTC Participant or custodian account or alternatively for receipt of a DRS Statement.

Holders of Depositary Interests should contact their nominee, stockbroker, bank or other agent to obtain further information on how the cancellation of the listing of the Shares on the Official List and removal of such shares from trading on the main market for listed securities of LSE will impact such holders and how they are able to trade their Shares on NASDAQ.
