Statement of intention not to make an offer

11 Jul 2013 15:03

RNS Number : 1450J
Barr(A.G.) PLC
11 July 2013
 



NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF THAT JURISDICTION

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11 July 2013

 

A.G. BARR p.l.c.

 

STATEMENT OF INTENTION NOT TO MAKE AN OFFER UNDER RULE 2.8 OF THE CITY CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS

 

 

A.G. BARR p.l.c. ("A.G. Barr") announces today that, following the final decision of the Competition Commission, published on 9 July 2013, to clear the merger of A.G. Barr and Britvic plc ("Britvic"), it made a revised proposal to the Board of Britvic for an all share merger of the two companies. This proposal was for an offer on more favourable terms for Britvic shareholders than the offer recommended by the respective Boards and subsequently approved by the A.G. Barr and Britvic shareholders in January 2013.

 

The Board of Britvic has rejected this proposal. As a result A.G. Barr confirms that it does not intend to make an offer for Britvic.

 

A.G. Barr Chairman, Ronnie Hanna, commented, "While we are disappointed that the opportunity to create significant value for both sets of shareholders has been rejected, the Board of A.G. Barr has every reason to be confident of its position as a stand-alone company. A.G. Barr continues to outperform the UK soft drinks market and will follow its successful long term strategy supported by a strong balance sheet, unique brands and a well invested asset base."

As a result of this announcement A.G. Barr is bound by the restrictions in Rule 2.8 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Takeover Code"). For the purposes of Rule 2.8, A.G. Barr reserves the right to announce an offer or possible offer for Britvic plc or make or participate in an offer or possible offer for Britvic plc and/or take any other action otherwise precluded under Rule 2.8 of the Takeover Code within six months of the date of this announcement in the circumstances described in note 2 to Rule 2.8 of the Takeover Code.

A copy of this announcement will be available at www.agbarr.co.uk.
