Details of the Placing and Subscription
The Company has raised GBP1.5 million, by way of a Placing and
Subscription of 21,048,276 new Common Shares at the Issue Price of
7.25 pence per new Common Share.
The Placing Shares and Subscription Shares will represent
approximately 22.2 per cent. of the share capital of the Company as
enlarged by the Placing and the Subscription. The Issue Price of
7.25 pence per new Common Share represents a 3 per cent. discount
to the closing mid market price of 7.5 pence per new Common Share
on 6 May 2011, being the latest practicable date prior to the
publication of this document.
The Company has entered into agreement directly with certain
investors who will be issued Subscription Shares by the Company.
The Subscription Shares will be issued to those subscribers on the
same terms as the Placing Shares and will carry the same
rights.
The Placing and Subscription Shares are being issued out of the
Company's
current authorities.
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the
new Common Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected
that admission of the new Common Shares to trading on AIM will
become effective and that trading in the 21,048,276 Placing and
Subscription Shares will commence on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on 12 May
2011. Following Admission the company will have a total of
95,025,520 Common Shares in issue.
It is expected that share certificates for the Placing Shares
and the Subscription Shares which are to be held in certificated
form will be dispatched to placees by 31 May 2011. The Placing
Shares will be in registered form and no temporary documents of
title will be issued.
Related party transaction
Credit Suisse, a current Shareholder of 21,704,058 existing
Common Shares, representing 29.34 per cent. of the existing share
capital is considered to be a related party as defined under the
AIM Rules by virtue of its shareholding.
Immediately following admission of the new Common Shares, Credit
Suisse will hold 25,841,989 new Common Shares representing
approximately 27.19 per cent. of the enlarged share capital and of
the voting rights attaching to such capital. Credit Suisse's
participation in the Subscription is considered to be a related
party transaction for the purposes of AIM Rule 13, and the
Directors, having consulted with Seymour Pierce Limited, the
Company's nominated adviser, consider the terms on which Credit
Suisse is participating in the Subscription to be fair and
reasonable insofar as the Company's Shareholders are concerned.
