Interim
Management Report for the six months to 30 June 2008
Highlights
On 14 February 2008 the Royal Court of Jersey
granted approval of a Scheme of Arrangement (described in a circular
to the shareholders of Real Estate Opportunities Limited (‘REO’)
dated 18 December 2008). The Scheme involved the Zero Dividend
Preference Shares ("ZDP Shares"), part of the share capital
of REO, being cancelled and, in exchange, New ZDP Shares being
issued to ZDP Shareholders on a one for one basis. The New ZDP Shares
were issued by a newly incorporated subsidiary of REO, REO Securities
Limited. Implementation of the Scheme allowed the New ZDP Shares
to be repaid by way of the winding up of REO Securities Limited
on 31 May 2011 rather than the winding up or reconstruction of REO
itself.
Admission of the 57,755,782 New ZDP Shares of REO Securities Limited
to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority took place on 18
February 2008, with dealings therein on the London Stock Exchange
commencing on the same day. These interim accounts constitute
the first set of accounts of REO Securities Limited.
Shareholders’ attention is drawn to the publication of the
interim results for Real Estate Opportunities Limited also published
today (29 August 2008).
