CCN opens offer to minorities

CCN Holdings` offer to buy minorities` shareholdings opened this morning ahead of the company`s planned delisting from the JSE.

The company, a call centre services provider, says the requisite majority of shareholders at a meeting yesterday passed the resolutions relating to the suspension and termination of the company`s delisting.

They also approved the offer to minority shareholders, which opened at 9am today.

CCN is offering to buy minorities` shares at 115c each. The offer closes at noon on 9 July.

CCN announced in April that it planned to delist because it did not comply with the spread requirements of a JSE main board listing, which requires there be at least 500 public shareholders and a minimum of 20% of the share capital to be in public hands.

The controlling shareholders - the executive directors and a pool consortium - hold about 87% of the issued shares.

The company also said its board believed that management time related to the continued listing was not justifiable.

The CCN share was untraded at 108c yesterday.
