Fourth quarter 2012
2/6/2013 2:30 AM EST
On 20 December 2012, Imarex announced that the Company had
entered into a final agreement to sell its 41% ownership of Fish Pool ASA
to Oslo Børs. The transaction was recognised in the fourth quarter 2012
and generated a gain of NOK around of NOK 6.0 million (net of the share
of net loss from Fish Pool until the point of sale). The sale was approved
by the general meeting of Imarex 15 January 2013 and closing of the
transaction is expected in the first quarter of 2013. Upon closing of the
transaction Imarex intends to call for the Annual General Meeting and
propose to distribute the proceeds from this transaction to its
shareholders. Upon expiration of tax warranties from the Spectron sale at
the end of March 2013 requiring GBP 3 million to be kept as free cash in
the Group, the intention is to propose a distribution of these funds to the
shareholders in the same Annual General Meeting. Furthermore, post
closing of the Fish Pool sale and distribution of funds from Fish Pool and
Spectron, it is the intention to propose for the Annual General Meeting a
delisting from the Oslo Stock Exchange. The Annual General Meeting is
scheduled for 15 April 2013.
Please find enclosed the report for the fourth
quarter 2012.
