Additional listing
Sanderson Group PLC ('Sanderson' or the 'Company') announces that on 31 January
2008 the Board allotted 1,000,000 new ordinary shares (the 'New Ordinary
Shares') in the capital of the Company as vendor consideration to the former
shareholders of Sanderson Retail Systems Limited ('Sanderson Retail Systems'),
and also paid the former shareholders £500,000 in cash. The allotment of the New
Ordinary Shares and the cash payment are in settlement of additional
consideration payable in respect of Sanderson Retail Systems, which was acquired
by Sanderson in February 2006 and which has achieved the trading targets
required for payment of the full amount of additional consideration.
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary
Shares to be admitted to AIM. Admission is expected to become effective on or
around 8 February 2008.
The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Sanderson
ordinary shares. Following allotment of the New Ordinary Shares, Sanderson has
in issue 43,281,744 ordinary shares. This figure may be used by shareholders as
the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the
share capital of Sanderson under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
