TIDMIFR TIDMAPL TIDMACPM RNS Number : 0121P IFR Capital PLC 18 March 2009 IFR Capital PLC ("IFR" or the "Company") Share Exchange The Board of IFR Capital PLC (AIM: IFR), the investment company focused on consolidation opportunities in the European food retail sector, is pleased to announce the exchange of Class B Preference Shares owned by Theobald Müller ("TM") in IFR Jersey Limited ("IFR Jersey"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for new ordinary shares valued at EUR16 million in the Company (the "Transaction"). Transaction Structure IFR Jersey has in issue 4,820,000,000 Class A Preference Shares of EUR0.01 each, which are wholly held by ACP Capital Limited and ACP Mezzanine Limited, and 5,000,000,000 Class B Preference Shares of EUR0.01 each, which are wholly held by TM. The terms of both classes of preference shares provide for a fixed preferential dividend to be paid to the holders of the preference shares upon redemption of the respective preference shares. The rate of the preferential dividend steps up over time (first year: 20.0 per cent. per annum, second year: 27.5 per cent. per annum, third year: 37.5 per cent. per annum). The preferential dividend on both classes of preference shares is currently accruing at a rate of 27.5 per cent. per annum. TM has agreed to transfer 1,291,963,940 Class B Preference Shares (the "Consideration Preference Shares") (together with preferential dividends accrued thereon totalling EUR3.08 million) in consideration for the issue to him of 200,000,000 new ordinary shares of EUR0.01 each in the Company, fully paid. The implied issue price of the new ordinary shares is therefore EUR0.08 per ordinary share which is a discount of 30.43 per cent. to the closing mid market price of EUR0.115 per ordinary share on 17 March 2009, the last business day prior to the date of this announcement. As a result of the transfer, the Company is now the holder of the Consideration Preference Shares. Background to and reasons for the Transaction The Company considers the current fixed preferential dividend of 27.5 per cent. per annum payable by IFR Jersey to be very high and places a large financial burden on the Company. The Transaction provides for an exchange of expensive Class B Preference Shares for new ordinary shares in the Company without any cash outflow. Any dividends payable on the Consideration Preference Shares will from now on be payable to the Company and the value of ordinary equity will also be substantially increased, thereby strengthening the financial position of the Company, as a result of the Transaction thus benefiting the Company and the shareholders of the Company as a whole. Related Party Transaction TM is the current beneficial holder of 53,083,239 ordinary shares (being held by TML Invest S.a.r.l. ("TML")), or 23.83 per cent. in the total voting rights of the Company. TM is therefore a substantial shareholder of the Company and is considered to be a related party as defined under the AIM Rules for Companies (the "AIM Rules"). The Transaction constitutes a "related party transaction" under AIM Rule 13. Accordingly, the Directors, having consulted with Charles Stanley Securities, the Company's Nominated Adviser, consider the terms of the transaction to be fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned. Details of the Share Exchange Application has been made for the 200,000,000 new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is expected that admission will take place on 23 March 2009. The new ordinary shares rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares, including the right to receive any dividend or other distribution declared, made or paid after the date of their unconditional allotment. As required by Cypriot law an independent valuation has been undertaken by a suitably qualified financial adviser, in relation to the terms of the share exchange. Following this allotment, the total issued share capital of the Company will have increased to 422,782,750 ordinary shares. Changes to Significant Shareholders In addition, the Company was notified that TM has sold 53,083,239 ordinary shares in the Company (being held by TML) to Heiner Kamps, the Chief Executive Director of the Company, at EUR0.08 per ordinary share. As a result of the issue by the Company of the new ordinary shares on 17 March 2009 pursuant to the Transaction and the share purchase by Heiner Kamps, so far as the Company is aware, the significant shareholders of the Company hold the following interests: +--------------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ | Name of | Pre - the Transaction | Current | | Shareholder | | | +--------------------+---------------------------+---------------------------+ | | Number of | % of Issued | Number of | % of Issued | | |Shares Held | Share |Shares Held | Share | | | | Capital | | Capital | +--------------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ | Theobald Müller | 53,083,239 | 23.83 | 200,000,000 | 47.31 | | (TML) | | | | | +--------------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ | Heiner Kamps | 52,621,717 | 23.62 | 105,704,956 | 25.00 | +--------------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ | ACP Capital | 60,124,092 | 26.99 | 60,124,092 | 14.22 | | Limited | | | | | +--------------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ | Aeris Holding AG | 12,682,926 | 5.69 | 12,682,926 | 3.00 | +--------------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ | Societe Generale | 8,912,000 | 4.00 | 8,912,000 | 2.11 | +--------------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ The Company is incorporated in Cyprus and is managed and controlled outside the United Kingdom.
