11.  Admission document and circulars

Armour Group plc (formerly Armour Trust plc) was listed on the London Stock Exchange in the early 1970s. On 2 July 2002, Armour Group plc moved to the AIM market, being more appropriate than a full listing given the group’s size and strategy for development and growth.

At the date of admission onto AIM, and due to Armour Group plc having been fully listed, there was no requirement for Armour Group plc to prepare an Admission Document. Consequently no such document is shown on this web site.

There have been no circulars or similar publications within the last twelve months.
