COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OF 49 PER CENT. STAKE IN MANROY USA, ADMISSION OF NEW ORDINARY SHARES AND TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS
The Directors of Manroy (AIM: MAN), the UK's leading machine gun manufacturer, are pleased to make the following announcement:
Completion of acquisition and admission of new ordinary shares
Further to the Company's announcement on 16 August 2011 and in accordance with the circular to shareholders of Manroy dated 25 July 2011 (the "Circular"), the Company has today completed the acquisition of a 49 per cent. stake in Manroy USA LLC ("MUSA") from Caledonian Heritable Limited ("Caledonian"). As part of this acquisition, Manroy also acquired Caledonian's loan account to MUSA and its 50 per cent. interest in the premises from which MUSA operates.
Manroy USA is a limited liability company that is governed by a board of managers which operates in a similar manner to a board of directors in the UK. Glyn Bottomley and David Low, Chief Executive and non-executive Director of Manroy respectively, will join the board of managers of MUSA as representatives of Manroy.
2,049,069 new ordinary shares of 5p each ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company (the "Consideration Shares") have been issued as consideration for the acquisition and have today been admitted to trading on AIM. As a result of the admission of the Consideration Shares, the Concert Party (as defined in the Circular) has an aggregate interest in the Company of 7,142,368 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 39.3 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital. This comprises 4,394,069 Ordinary Shares (24.2 per cent.) held by Caledonian, of which 3,594,069 are held in the name of Caledonian and 800,000 are held in the name of Kevin Hugh Michael Doyle, a director and owner of Caledonian; 2,081,632 (11.4 per cent.) are held by Glyn Bottomley, Manroy's Chief Executive; and 666,667 (3.7 per cent.) are held by Surinder Rajput.
Total Voting Rights
Following admission of the Consideration Shares, Manroy's issued share capital comprises 18,194,202 Ordinary Shares, each with identical voting rights. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company with voting rights is 18,194,202, which figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Glyn Bottomley, Chief Executive of Manroy, commented:
"When Manroy came to the market in December 2010, we made clear our intention to acquire a 49 per cent stake in MUSA. To have completed this deal before our first financial year end on AIM is evidence of our ambition. MUSA is an obvious fit for us and has itself expanded rapidly, having acquired the business and assets of Sabre Defence Industries LLC earlier this year. We look forward to working closely with the MUSA team in order to further develop the business and continue Manroy's expansion into the huge US market."
