However, shareholders have the right at any time and at the Swiss company's cost to request the company to issue documentary evidence in respect of the uncertificated securities held by the shareholder pursuant to the share register. Should any shareholder require such documentary evidence, they can request this in writing from Domino's Pizza Switzerland AG at Ifangstrasse 10, 8302 Kloten, Switzerland.

The Placing proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes for the Company and for new investments in accordance with the Investing Policy.
Also conditional on completion of the Demerger, Alexander David will convert accrued fees of £79,272.36 into Global Brands Ordinary Shares at the Placing Price. This will result in the issue of 39,636,180 new Global Brands Ordinary Shares to Alexander David representing 21.6 per cent. of the enlarged share capital of the Company. Following the Placing and the conversion of the accrued fees, the total number of shares in issue will be 183,386,180 ordinary shares of CHF 0.002 each.
Alexander David will receive a placing commission of 5 per cent. of the gross funds raised in the Placing. In addition, for the arrangement and structuring of the new business of the Company, Alexander David will receive a warrant over 2.5 per cent. of the share capital of the Company in issue immediately following the Placing at the Placing Price. The ADS Warrant will expire after two years.
An application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the new Global Brands Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Placing and Alexander David to be admitted to trading on AIM and admission following the Demerger.

EGM Results
Global Brands S.A., an international business developing branded food operations in Europe, including being the master franchise owner for Domino's Pizza in Switzerland, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein, is pleased to announce that at the EGM held yesterday all resolutions passed with the requisite majorities.
As a result, Global Brands will demerge its existing business, the Pizza Business, into its Swiss subsidiary, Domino's Pizza Switzerland AG, and transfer the shares of that company to Global Brands' shareholders. Under Luxembourg law, the Demerger will be treated as a reduction in capital in specie. When the Demerger is effected, Global Brands will become an Investing Company under the AIM Rules.
The demerger will result in Shareholders holding shares in two distinct entities with separate strategic, capital and economic characteristics and management teams:
· Global Brands S.A. will be an Investing Company which will target investment opportunities in line with its Investing Policy; and
· Domino's Pizza Switzerland AG will own the Master Franchise Agreement for Domino's Pizza in Switzerland, Luxembourg and Lichtenstein and will carry on the Pizza Business as a private company.
The capital reorganisation and demerger involves a first a share split, which will be effective from 5 January 2012 (as announced on 30 December 2011), and then a capital reduction. The Company has today updated the timetable to reflect the Capital Reductions being effective 30 days from the day of the publication of the shareholder vote in the Official Gazette, as opposed to the vote itself. Please note that this has resulted in a change to the expected timetable as included in the shareholder circular posted on 21 December 2011. The amended expected timetable for the remaining steps in the Global Brands demerger is set out below.

Posting of Circular
Global Brands S.A., an international business developing branded food operations in Europe, including being the master franchise owner for Domino's Pizza in Switzerland, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein, announces that the circular (the "Circular") relating to the demerger of the current business (the "Pizza Business") and retaining the listed business as an Investing Company, has been posted to shareholders yesterday.
Chairman Simon Bentley commented:
"We believe this course of action will maximise value for the benefit of shareholders.

The Circular is also available to view on the Company's website (www.globalbrands.ch).
Unless otherwise defined herein, terms in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular.
