Approval of press releases

Ultra has an overarching duty to maintain a fair market in its shares. It must therefore communicate in a timely fashion to all shareholders simultaneously, any news that might be ‘share price sensitive’.

Simultaneous transmission of news to all shareholders is deemed to be achieved if the news is distributed through the news service run by the London Stock Exchange.

What constitutes ‘share price sensitive’ is defined imprecisely. With regard to contract value the level of materiality is a function of Ultra’s size so is constantly increasing. It is probably about $20m (£10m) now though lower value contracts with strategically important potential might also be seen as material.

REQUESTED ACTIONS:

1. Please send to Andy.Hamment@ultra-electronics.com early drafts of all press releases that relate to business with an incremental value to Ultra of $10m (£5m) or above;
2. Please state the target readership, the intended distribution, who outside Ultra must give approval and the target date for publication; and
3. Please draft press releases in a manner that makes them suitably understandable by readers who are not intimate with the topic and who are not familiar with our acronyms.
