Posting of Shareholder Circular and AIM Admission Document

Notice of General Meeting

Further to the Company’s announcement earlier today, the Board of Gresham announces that a Circular is being posted to Shareholders today, containing a Notice of General Meeting at which Shareholder approval will be sought in order to implement the Proposals, including, amongst other things, the proposed cancellation of admission to the premium segment of the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities of the Company’s ordinary shares ("Delisting"). The General Meeting is being convened for 10.00 a.m. on 31 October 2014 and to take place at the offices of Travers Smith LLP, 10 Snow Hill, London EC1A 2AL.

In accordance with the Listing Rules, Delisting must be not less than 20 business days following the passing of the relevant Resolution at the General Meeting. It is anticipated that Delisting will occur at 8.00 a.m. on 1 December 2014, at which time the Company’s ordinary shares are expected to be admitted to trading on AIM.

As previously announced, the Company is also today publishing an admission document in relation to the proposed Admission to AIM, which document is being posted to Shareholders together with the Circular.

Copies of the Circular and Admission Document will shortly be available for inspection at the Company’s website, www.greshamhouse.com. In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.1, a copy of the Circular will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism where it will be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM. The New Articles (together with a comparison showing the proposed changes) will be available for inspection from today’s date until the close of the General Meeting at the offices of Travers Smith LLP, 10 Snow Hill, London EC1A 2AL and at www.greshamhouse.com.
