Capital Reduction Effective
At a general meeting of Marlowe plc (the "Company") held on 19 June 2023 (the "General Meeting"), a resolution was passed by shareholders to cancel the balance standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company, in doing so increasing the distributable reserves of the Company by £384,921,004.09 (the "Capital Reduction").
To be effective, the Capital Reduction required Court approval and the Company is pleased to announce that Court approval has now been obtained and the Capital Reduction is now effective. This follows the Court order approving the reduction of capital which was registered with Companies House on 17 July 2023.
Whilst the Board and management remain focussed on the continued execution of the Company's stated growth strategy, the Capital Reduction now removes a potential restriction on the Company's ability to either make dividend payments and other distributions or to purchase its own shares in the future. The Capital Reduction will not change the number of Ordinary Shares in issue or the paid up share capital of the Company or change any rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares.
