BALTIMORE TECHNOLOGIES PLC
(Ticker: Reuters BLM.L or Bloomberg: BLM LN)
("Baltimore" or the "Company")
ANNOUNCEMENT RE DELISTING
On 25 November 2004, Baltimore announced proposals to consolidate the Company's
issued ordinary share capital ("Consolidation") and to apply 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 ("Delisting"). This announcement also detailed the reasons for the
proposed Consolidation and Delisting.
Baltimore sent a circular to its shareholders on 1 December 2004, also detailing
the reasons for the Consolidation and Delisting and convening an Extraordinary
General Meeting to approve the actions. Copies of the circular are available
from the Company's website at www.baltimore.com. On 20 December 2004, following
the Extraordinary General Meeting held on that day, the Board of Baltimore
announced that Baltimore's shareholders had passed the resolutions in respect of
the Consolidation and the Delisting.
Accordingly the Consolidation took place and trading in the new ordinary shares
of 125p each (nominal value) commenced on the London Stock Exchange's market for
listed securities on 21 December 2004.
As previously 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.
