Kentz Corporation Limited
(the "Company")
Significant Shareholding
London, Monday 28 September 2009: Kentz Corporation Limited (LSE: KENZ), the
holding company of the Kentz engineering and construction group, received
notification on 25 September 2009 from Danache Holdings Limited ("Danache") that
on 18 September 2009, it reduced its shareholding by 803,643 ordinary shares of
1p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") (the "Disposal").
Following the Disposal, Danache holds 12,535,570 Ordinary Shares, representing
approximately 10.77 per cent of the Company's voting rights.
Danache was established prior to the Company's IPO as part of a management
incentivisation arrangement on behalf of 83 members of the Company's senior
management (excluding the directors, other than Ed Power, Chief Financial
Officer of the Company). For the avoidance of doubt, Ed Power elected to retain
his share entitlement within Danache and therefore did not receive any proceeds
from the Disposal.
Pursuant to the terms of the share purchase agreements, as detailed in the AIM
Admission Document, Danache is able to, inter alia, distribute up to 66.67 per
cent. of the value of its Ordinary Shares if a profit target is achieved, which
has now been achieved. As a result, 8,892,807 Ordinary Shares are now free to be
distributed, of which only 9.04% of this number have been disposed of, as
described above.
