On 8 March 2000, the Annual General Meeting of Amer Group Plc resolved to sell the shares, which have not been transferred to the book-entry system on behalf of their owners. A total of 15,778 shares on the joint book-entry account were sold on 13 August 2001. The owners or other assignees of these shares are entitled to receive a proportion of the sales proceeds corresponding to the number of the shares in their ownership.
