EXHIBIT INDEX
Press Release regarding Result of EGM dated 20 December 2004
20 DECEMBER 2004
BALTIMORE TECHNOLOGIES PLC
(Ticker: Reuters BLM.L or Bloomberg: BLM LN)
("Baltimore" or "the Company")
RESULT OF EGM
On 25 November 2004, Baltimore announced proposals to consolidate the Company's
share capital and to cancel the listing of the Company's ordinary shares on the
Official List of the UK Listing Authority and their trading on the London Stock
Exchange's market for listed securities. On 1 December 2004, Baltimore sent a
circular to its shareholders convening an Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM")
to be held today to approve the proposed share capital consolidation and
delisting.
The Board of Baltimore is pleased to announce that at the EGM of the Company,
which was held earlier today, the Resolutions in respect of the proposed share
capital consolidation and the cancellation of the Company's listing were
approved by shareholders. It is to be noted that Acquisitor Holdings (Bermuda)
Ltd., the holder of over 26 per cent of the share capital, refrained from voting
to allow the vote to reflect the views of the majority of the Company's
shareholders.
Accordingly the consolidation of 125 existing ordinary shares of 1p each
(nominal value) in the Company into a single new ordinary share of 125p (nominal
value) will take place and the new ordinary shares of 125p each (nominal value)
will commence trading on the Official List on 21 December 2004. Following the
consolidation, a total of 430,647 new ordinary shares of 125p each will be in
issue and a further 309 ordinary shares of 125p each (nominal value) are
unissued and subject to a blocklisting arrangement.
As announced on 7 December 2004, the cancellation of the listing of the
Company's ordinary shares on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and
the trading of such shares on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed
securities will become effective on 14 February 2005.
