Cairn Homes plc
Proposed Secondary Placing
Cairn Homes plc ("Cairn Homes" or the "Company") has been advised today by Michael Stanley, Chief Executive Officer of
the Company, that he is proposing to sell up to 8.0 million shares in the Company (the "Placing Shares"), representing
approximately 1.3 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital, via an accelerated bookbuild (the "Placing") through
Goodbody Stockbrokers UC ("Goodbody").
Michael Stanley currently holds approximately 3.5 per cent. of the voting rights of the Company and following the
Placing, assuming the Placing is fully placed, he will hold approximately 2.3 per cent. of the issued share capital in
the Company. If the Placing proceeds, Michael Stanley has agreed with Goodbody not to sell any of his remaining shares
for a period of six months (subject to certain customary exceptions).
Goodbody has been appointed as Sole Bookrunner (the "Bookrunner") in respect of the Placing, which will be launched
immediately following this announcement through an accelerated bookbuild, open to certain existing and new investors.
The final number of Placing Shares to be placed and the placing price will be agreed by Goodbody and Michael Stanley at
the close of the bookbuild process, and the results of the Placing will be announced as soon as practicable thereafter.
The timing for the close of the bookbuild process, pricing and allocation are at the absolute discretion of Goodbody.
