Seraphine(LON:BUMP), an international digitally-led maternity and nursing wear brand, is pleased to announce that following the passing of a special resolution of the Company at its annual general meeting on 21 September 2022, the High Court of Justice in England and Wales formally approved the reduction of the Company's share premium account (the "Capital Reduction") at a hearing held on 25 October 2022. The Court order confirming the Capital Reduction and a statement of capital approved by the Court were registered with the Registrar of Companies on 8 November 2022 and accordingly the Capital Reduction is now effective.

The Company does not intend to change its dividend policy following the Capital Reduction and the creation of distributable reserves.

 

The Capital Reduction did not change the number of the Company's ordinary shares in issue or their nominal value of £0.01 each.
