Statement Regarding GardaWorld Offer - Seite 2

“The unsolicited 190p Offer launched today by GardaWorld is unchanged from the proposal that has already been carefully considered and unanimously rejected by the G4S Board as significantly undervaluing the Company and its prospects. Since rejecting GardaWorld’s last proposal, G4S has announced continuing resilience in its trading with underlying earnings ahead of the prior year for the first eight months of 2020.”
Shareholders are strongly advised to take absolutely no action in relation to the unattractive and opportunistic Offer.
A further announcement will be made in due course.
