Royal Imtech announces sequence of rights issue and share consolidation
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
NOT FOR RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION INTO OR IN THE UNITED STATES,
AUSTRALIA, CANADA, OR JAPAN
Introduction
On October 7, 2014, the extraordinary general meeting of Royal Imtech N.V.
("Imtech") will be held. At this meeting, the rights issue and the share
consolidation will be proposed to the shareholders. Reference is made to the
published agenda of the extraordinary general meeting and the notes thereto. As
also referred to in the notes to the published agenda, the Board of Management
had yet to determine the sequence of both events defined as Scenario A (first
the rights issue and then the share consolidation) and Scenario B (first the
share consolidation and then the rights issue).
Election of Scenario A
Today, the Board of Management determined to adopt Scenario A, which decision
has been approved by the Supervisory Board. This means that the share
consolidation will take place after the rights issue. Scenario A will facilitate
maximum participation of all shareholders in the rights issue. For the avoidance
of doubt, the rights issue and share consolidation remain subject to approval of
the extraordinary general meeting, among other things.
Adjustment of the tick size
In order to ensure an efficient price setting the tick size of Imtech will be
adjusted temporarily. The current tick size of the Imtech ordinary shares is EUR
0.001. This means that the price of a share can increase or decrease with steps
of EUR 0.001. From October 1, 2014 up to and including October 31, 2014, the
tick size will be adjusted to EUR 0.0001 temporarily. By reducing the tick size,
small movements in the share price can be more accurately reflected and will not
have a disproportionate impact on the percentage rate of change.
Tentative time table
The tentative time table is included for illustrative purposes only. With the
exception of the date of the EGM, and the date as per which the tick size will
be reduced, the exact dates of the various events are not yet fixed as the date
of launch of the transaction depends on timing of approval of the prospectus by
the AFM, among other things. Capitalised terms have the meaning given thereto in
the "Annex Rights Issue" of the published agenda of the extraordinary general
meeting.

or in any other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful prior to registration, exemption from registration or qualification
under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
The Securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S.

publicity material relating to such Securities in any jurisdiction where action
for that purpose is required.
