Recommended Cash Acquisition - Performance Share Plan and Deferred Annual Bonus Plan Vesting

 

On 12 August 2021, the boards of Stock Spirits Group PLC ("Stock Spirits") and Sunray Investments Luxembourg S.à r.l. ("Bidco") announced that they had reached agreement on the terms and conditions of a recommended all cash acquisition of the entire issued, and to be issued, ordinary share capital of Stock Spirits (the "Acquisition"), to be effected by means of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act (the "Scheme"). The circular in relation to the Scheme was published and posted to Stock Spirits Shareholders on 27 August 2021 (the "Scheme Document").

On 20 September 2021, Stock Spirits announced that the Scheme was approved by the Scheme Shareholders at the Court Meeting held on that date and the Special Resolution relating to the implementation of the Scheme was approved by the Stock Spirits Shareholders at the General Meeting also held on that date.

On 25 November 2021, the High Court of Justice in England and Wales sanctioned the Scheme pursuant to which the Acquisition is being implemented ("Court Sanction"). Nil-cost options over shares made under the Stock Spirits Performance Share Plan ("PSP") and the Stock Spirits Deferred Annual Bonus Plan ("DABP") vested and became exercisable on Court Sanction. Paul Bal has elected to exercise his options on Court Sanction and he has accordingly become entitled to the following shares (taking into account the application of performance conditions and time pro-rating, where applicable). His entitlement to those shares will be settled in cash for £3.77 per share in accordance with the rules of the PSP and DABP.
