HARTEST HOLDINGS PLC
('Hartest', or 'the Company' or 'the Group')
Results of Annual General Meeting
Hartest Holdings Plc, the supplier of specialist instrumentation and medical
equipment, announces that, at its Annual General Meeting held at 10.00 am
today, all of the resolutions proposed were duly passed.
As announced previously, the Company remains in an Offer Period, and further
announcements will be made about this situation as soon as possible.
The Company also recently announced that the new financial year has started
well, and trading by all Group companies is in line with, or ahead of, the
Board's expectations. Gross margins are improving, and overheads are under
close control. The relocation of our two subsidiary companies, Hartest
Precision Instruments and Agar Scientific, has also been completed
successfully.
The Board is encouraged by recent trading results, and has formed the view that
if this performance is sustained through the autumn, then the Board will resume
dividend payments at the time of the Interim Announcement in December.
