De La Rue issues corrected proxy form for upcoming General Meeting

LONDON - De La Rue (LON:DLAR) plc, the British banknote manufacturer, has issued a corrected proxy voting form for its shareholders ahead of a General Meeting related to its acquisition by ACR Bidco Limited ("Bidco"), the company announced today.

The correction follows the discovery of an error in the original WHITE form of proxy distributed in connection with the General Meeting. Shareholders are advised to use the revised WHITE form, which is marked with a red flash and available on the company’s website, and to disregard the initial version.

The amended proxy form has been published online and is also being dispatched to shareholders, depending on their preferred method of communication. The company’s announcement emphasized that the timetable for the acquisition process remains as previously outlined, with no changes to the schedule of the Court Meeting or the General Meeting.

De La Rue shareholders who have already submitted the original WHITE form of proxy do not need to take any action if they have no changes to their vote. However, those wishing to amend their vote must submit the new form. The PINK form of proxy for the Court Meeting is unaffected and should be completed and returned as per the instructions in the Scheme Document.

The acquisition, announced on April 15, 2025, is an all-cash transaction in which Bidco will acquire all the issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of De La Rue. The Scheme Document detailing the terms and conditions was published on May 9, 2025, and remains available on the De La Rue website.

Shareholders with inquiries about the meetings or the completion of proxy forms are encouraged to contact Computershare, De La Rue’s registrar, using the helpline provided in the Scheme Document.

This announcement, based on a press release statement, serves to inform shareholders of the necessary administrative correction and does not alter the strategic or financial aspects of the acquisition process.
