COBRA CAPITAL LIMITED
("Cobra" or "the Company")
Update on suspension
Cobra Capital Limited (AIM: COC), the small-cap investment company, announces
that it remains in discussion with its bank and principal creditor (the "Bank")
regarding the proposals Cobra has made to the Bank, which would allow the
Company to continue to trade. However, due to the recent change in ownership and
on-going re-structuring of the Bank the Company believes that it is unlikely to
receive a response to its proposals before 13 August 2009.
Cobra's shares have been suspended since 13 February 2009 and under the AIM
Rules for Companies (the "AIM Rules") if the suspension continues for more than
6 months the Company's listing will be cancelled. The AIM Rules also required
the Company to publish its annual audited accounts within 6 months of its year
end. The Company is not in a position to request a lifting of the current
suspension of trading in its shares until it is able to reach agreement with the
Bank and is able to publish its accounts, which were required to have been
released under the AIM Rules by 30 June 2009 at the latest.
Accordingly, the Directors advise Cobra shareholders that in the absence of a
change of position by the Bank and the swift publication of its accounts it is
likely that the Company's listing on AIM will be cancelled on 13 August
2009. In the meantime the Directors will continue to press the Bank for a
response to their proposals.
Jonathan Freeman, Director, said
"It is extremely disappointing and frustrating that the change of ownership of
our Bank and the inability of the Bank's new owners to take a decision on
proposals that were previously agreed is likely to result in the cancellation of
the Company's listing on AIM."
