IDH's proposed revised Delisting Buyback Price in connection with delisting from the Egyptian Exchange

27 June 2024

On 24 May 2024, Integrated Diagnostics Holdings Plc ("IDH" or the "Company") published a Notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting (the "EGM") to be held on 12 June 2024 in connection with the proposed voluntary delisting of its ordinary shares (the "Shares") from the Egyptian Exchange (the "EGX").  As announced on 12 June 2024, all the resolutions contained in the Notice of EGM were duly passed at the EGM.

These resolutions included a resolution authorising the Company to repurchase Shares from shareholders who hold Shares traded on the EGX held by Misr for Central Clearing, Depository and Registry ("EGX Shares", and such shareholders, "EGX Shareholders"), as well as any creditor who has the benefit of a mortgage over any EGX Shares ("Mortgaged Creditors"), if so required by such EGX Shareholders or Mortgaged Creditors during the relevant buyback period which will be specified by the Company (such persons, the "Selling Shareholders" and such EGX Shares acquired by the Company from the Selling Shareholders, the "Delisting Sale Shares"). This approach is consistent with applicable Egyptian regulations and practice for Egyptian-incorporated companies seeking to delist from the EGX.  Based on the foregoing, it was determined that the price to be paid by the Company to the Selling Shareholders (the "Delisting Buyback Price") would be 18.62 Egyptian pounds per Delisting Sale Share (exclusive of expenses).

The Company has since been informed by the EGX that the calculation of the Delisting Buyback Price did not in fact properly take account of certain aspects of the applicable regulations given the low trading volumes in the Company's Shares and, as a consequence, and notwithstanding that the relevant resolutions have been passed by its shareholders, the Delisting Buyback Price should instead be 20 Egyptian pounds per Delisting Sale Share (exclusive of expenses) in accordance with the method of calculating the delisting buyback price of shares applicable by the EGX. 

As such, the Company will in the coming days publish a further notice of extraordinary general meeting to convene another extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to approve the resolutions required in order to give effect to the repurchase of Delisting Sale Shares at this revised Delisting Buyback Price of 20 Egyptian pounds per Delisting Sale Share (exclusive of expenses).  A further announcement will be made upon the publication of this further notice of extraordinary general meeting.

A summary of the resolutions passed by the board of directors of the Company in relation to this further extraordinary general meeting is set out in the Appendix to this announcement.

The information contained in this announcement is deemed by the Company to constitute inside information as stipulated under the UK version of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 as it forms part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.  Upon the publication of this announcement, this inside information is now considered to be in the public domain.  Company Matters, IDH's Company Secretary, is responsible for the release of this announcement for the purposes of such regulation.
