Result of Placing
Hilton (LSE: HFG), a leading specialist international meat packing business, is pleased to announce the result of the placing announced earlier today (the "Placing").
A total of 7,350,000 new ordinary shares in the Company of 10p each (the "Placing Shares") have been conditionally placed at a price of 760p per Placing Share (the "Placing Price"), raising proceeds of GBP55.9 million (before expenses) to part-fund the proposed acquisition of Icelandic Group UK Limited ("Seachill"), a leading chilled fish processor in the UK ("the Acquisition").
The Placing Shares to be issued represent approximately 9.93% of the Company's existing issued ordinary share capital. The Placing Price represents a discount of approximately 3.7% to the closing price of 789p on 17 October 2017.
Numis Securities Limited ("Numis") and Panmure Gordon (UK) Limited ("Panmure Gordon", and together with Numis, the "Bookrunners") have acted as joint bookrunners in respect of the Placing. Other than where defined, capitalised terms used in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the announcement released by the Company this morning at 7.00am.
