Listing Application - updated admission date
An application has been made to the
Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and the London Stock Exchange
("LSE") for 1,437,048
ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the Company (the "Shares") to be admitted to the Official
List of the FCA and admitted to trading on the premium segment of
the LSE's main market for listed securities (the "Admission").
The Shares will be issued pursuant
to the vesting and exercise of awards for nil consideration under
the Wincanton plc Deferred Share Bonus Plan, Wincanton plc Long
Term Incentive Plan 2018, Wincanton plc Long Term Incentive Plan
2020 and Wincanton plc Long Term Incentive Plan 2023, in each case,
conditional on the sanction by the High Court of Justice in England
and Wales (the "Court") of
the proposed scheme of arrangement to be made between the Company
and its shareholders under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006
pursuant to which GXO Logistics, Inc. will acquire the entire
issued, and to be issued, share capital of the Company (the
"Scheme"). As previously
announced by the Company, the sanction of the Scheme is expected to
be obtained on 25 April 2024 following a hearing before the
Court.
When issued, the Shares will
rank pari
passu with the Company's existing issued shares. It is
expected that the Admission will become effective on 26 April
2024, following the sanction of the Scheme by the Court. Following
the Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise
125,980,718 ordinary shares of 10 pence each. This figure may be
used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by
which they determine if they are required to notify their interest
in, or any change in their interest in the Company, under the FCA's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
This notification is provided in
accordance with paragraph 3.5.5R of the FCA's Listing Rules and
