“The cash consideration under the Structure A Scheme and Structure B Scheme is now above the independent expert’s value range of $2.03 to $2.80 per Village share,” Village told shareholders this morning.

“The BGH transaction provides the opportunity for all Village shareholders to realise an attractive cash price for all of their VRL shares, in a very uncertain environment.

“It represents significant value for all VRL shareholders relative to all alternatives, including the status quo. ”
