Pace Confirms Moto Bid

December 10, 2012 |

SALTAIRE, U.K. -- The Board of Pace plc (“Pace”, the “Company”) notes the press speculation in relation to a potential transaction involving Google’s Motorola Home business1. Pace confirms that it has submitted an indicative, non-binding, proposal to Google in respect of a potential acquisition of its Motorola Home business. Discussions with Google are currently at a preliminary stage and there is no certainty as to whether any agreement regarding any transaction will be reached.

Pace can confirm that the potential acquisition of Google’s Motorola Home business would be classified as a “reverse takeover” under the UK Listing Rules given its size relative to Pace. As a result, the ordinary shares of Pace have been suspended from trading as of this afternoon. The shares will re-commence trading either on sufficient information on any potential transaction being provided publicly to shareholders, whether in the form of a prospectus or otherwise, or on the release of an announcement confirming that Pace is no longer in discussions with Google regarding the potential acquisition of the Motorola Home business.
