Share sale facility for holdings of 320 or fewer shares
28 May 2012
Henderson Group (the Company) is today launching a share sale
facility (Facility) to shareholders with 320 or fewer shares. The
Facility, being offered under Article 232 of the Company's Articles
of Association, is commonly known in the Australian market as a
sale of unmarketable parcels. The ASX Listing Rules define a
marketable parcel of shares as one valued at not less than
A$500.
The Company offered a similar share sale facility, on 14 March
2012, to shareholders with 285 or fewer shares. In accordance with
Article 232, shareholders who were eligible to participate in the
first share sale facility have been excluded from participation in
the current Facility.
The Company is offering this Facility to assist holders of
unmarketable parcels (determined as at 16 May 2012) to sell their
shares without having to use a broker or pay brokerage. The Company
will pay all costs of sale of those shareholders who take advantage
of the Facility (although any tax consequences from the sale will
be the shareholder's responsibility).
At the close of business on 16 May 2012, Henderson Group's share
price on the ASX was A$1.560, making shareholders with 320 or fewer
shares on that date eligible to participate in the Facility. There
were 58,618 eligible shareholders (out of a total of 93,729),
holding a total of 18,267,955 shares (1.65% of total issued share
capital).
It is anticipated that shareholders who do not elect to retain
their shares will be sent payment for their shares on or about 3
August 2012.
Attached are:
-- the Chairman's letter;
-- a sample of a share retention form; and
-- terms and conditions,
all of which are being sent today to eligible shareholders.
