Den Hartogh Holding B.V.
31 December 2015
NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.
31 December 2015
ACQUISITION OF SHARES AND ADDITIONAL IRREVOCABLE
in
INTERBULK GROUP PLC ("INTERBULK")
by
DEN HARTOGH HOLDING B.V. ("DEN HARTOGH")
Further to the announcement regarding the recommended cash offer for InterBulk by Den Hartogh made on 23 December 2015 (the "Announcement"), Den Hartogh announces that it has today acquired a total of 30,803,088 InterBulk Shares, representing approximately 6.58 per cent. of InterBulk's existing issued share capital (the "Acquired Shares") from funds managed by Cavendish at a price of 8.9 pence per share.
Cavendish no longer holds any InterBulk Shares and as a result the non-binding letter of intent from Cavendish summarised in Appendix III of the Announcement (the "Letter of Intent") will cease to apply.
The Acquired Shares will not be able to vote at the Court Meeting but they will be able to vote at the InterBulk General Meeting. Accordingly, the total number of InterBulk Shares available to vote at the Court Meeting will be 437,088,953 and the total number of InterBulk Shares available to vote at the InterBulk General Meeting will be 467,892,041.
In addition, Den Hartogh has entered into an additional irrevocable undertaking with Alex Stewart (the "Alex Stewart Irrevocable") in respect of a total of 3,762,923 InterBulk Shares (approximately 0.80 per cent. of InterBulk's existing issued share capital on 30 December 2015, being the last practicable date prior to the date of this announcement):
(a) to vote or (where his shares are held by a nominee) to give irrevocable instructions to the nominee to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and each of the resolutions to be proposed at the InterBulk General Meeting; and
(b) if the Transaction is structured as an Offer, to accept or (where their shares are held by a nominee) to give irrevocable instructions to the nominee to accept such offer.
The Alex Stewart Irrevocable undertaking remains binding in the event that a higher competing offer for InterBulk is made but ceases to be binding if:
(a) the Scheme Document (or, if applicable, the Offer Document) is not published within 28 days of the date of the Announcement (or such later date as the Panel may agree);
(b) the Scheme is withdrawn or lapses in accordance with its terms, except where the Scheme is withdrawn or lapses as a result of Den Hartogh exercising its right to implement the Transaction by way of an Offer in accordance with the City Code;
(c) in the event that the Transaction is implemented by way of an Offer, the Offer lapses or is withdrawn;
(d) the price per InterBulk Share as included in the Scheme Document or Offer Document (as applicable) is less than 9 pence; or
(e) any competing offer for InterBulk is made which is declared wholly unconditional or otherwise becomes effective.
Accordingly, the aggregate of the irrevocable undertakings from the InterBulk Directors and certain other InterBulk shareholders summarised in Appendix III of the Announcement and the Alex Stewart Irrevocable summarised above, means that Den Hartogh now has irrevocable undertakings to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Meetings in respect of a total of 330,814,086 InterBulk Shares, representing approximately 75.69 per cent. of the InterBulk Shares available to vote at the Court Meeting and, when aggregated with the Acquired Shares, approximately 77.29 per cent. of the InterBulk Shares available to vote at the InterBulk General Meeting.
Capitalised terms in this announcement shall have the meaning given to them in the Announcement, unless otherwise defined.

Overseas Shareholders
The release, publication or distribution of this Announcement in jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom may be restricted by law and therefore any persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom or who are subject to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom should inform themselves about, and observe, any applicable requirements. In particular, the ability of persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom to vote their InterBulk Shares with respect to the Scheme at the Court Meeting, or to execute and deliver forms of proxy appointing another to vote at the Court Meeting on their behalf, may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located. This Announcement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with English law and the City Code and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this Announcement had been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom.
Unless otherwise determined by Den Hartogh, or required by the City Code, and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Transaction will not be made available, directly or indirectly, in, into or from, or by the use of the mails of, or by any other means or instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce of, or any facility of a national state or other securities exchange of, any Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction and no person may vote in favour of the Transaction by any such use, means, instrumentality or form within a Restricted Jurisdiction or any jurisdiction where to do so would constitute a violation of the laws in that jurisdiction. Copies of this Announcement and any formal documentation relating to the Transaction are not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in or into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction and persons receiving such documents (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise forward, distribute or send it in or into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction. If the Transaction is implemented by way of an Offer (unless otherwise permitted by applicable law and regulation), the Offer may not be made directly or indirectly, in or into, or by the use of mails or any means or instrumentality (including, but not limited to, facsimile, e-mail or other electronic transmission, telex or telephone) of interstate or foreign commerce of, or of any facility of a national, state or other securities exchange of any Restricted Jurisdiction and the Offer may not be capable of acceptance from or within any Restricted Jurisdiction by any such use, means, instrumentality or facilities.
Notice to US Shareholders
The Transaction relates to the shares of an English company and is being made by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under English company law. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer rules or the proxy solicitation rules under the US Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Transaction is subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in the United Kingdom to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure requirements of United States tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. If, in the future, Den Hartogh exercises the right to implement the Transaction by way of a takeover offer and determines to extend the offer into the United States, the Transaction will be made in compliance with applicable United States laws and regulations. Financial information included (or incorporated by reference) in this Announcement and the Scheme Document in relation to InterBulk has been or will have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards applicable in the United Kingdom that may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

It may be difficult for US holders of InterBulk Shares to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the US federal laws, since InterBulk and Den Hartogh are located in a non-US jurisdiction, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of a non-US jurisdiction. US holders of InterBulk Shares may not be able to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of the US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgement.
Disclosure requirements of the Code
Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1 per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the offer period and, if later, following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the commencement of the Offer Period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the offeree company or of a securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.
Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1 per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s), save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the business day following the date of the relevant dealing.
If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.
Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).
Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Takeover Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the offer period commenced and when any offeror was first identified. You should contact the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on +44 (0)20 7638 0129 if you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure.
