Water Intelligence plc ("Water Intelligence" or the "Company")

Completion of Reacquisition of Minority Interest

 

Further to the announcement of 12 September 2013, the Company has completed the final purchase of all remaining shares owned by certain former minority shareholders (the "Minority Shareholders") of American Leak Detection Holding Corp. ("ALD") (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) pursuant to rights granted to the Minority Shareholders at the time of the acquisition of ALD by the Company. The Minority Shareholders exercised their rights to sell 99,936 Consideration Shares to the Company at a price of 75 pence per Consideration Share. 

 

The Consideration Shares will be held in treasury and used by the Company in lieu of performance-based bonuses in recognition of Water Intelligence's 2016 transactions, namely franchise reacquisitions of South New Jersey, Cincinnati, Northwest Arkansas and Sydney, the acquisition of NRW Utilities, bank refinancing and equity financing at a premium to the market price. David Silverstone, a director of the Company, received 38,500 of such Ordinary Shares. Following this transaction, David Silverstone holds 38,500 Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing approximately 0.32% of the voting rights in the Company. Robert Mitchell, a director of the Company, received 9,936 Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing approximately 0.08% of the voting rights in the Company.
