Kedco plc
("Kedco" or the "Company")
Issue of Convertible Loan Notes
Kedco plc (LSE: KED.L), the renewable energy developer and
operator focusing on the production of clean energy in the UK and
Ireland, is pleased to announce that it has agreed a GBP400,000
unsecured loan to fund its ongoing development and working capital
requirements. The loan which is being provided by its 26.79%
shareholder, Farmer Business Developments plc ("FBD") will be
structured as the Convertible Loan Notes.
The key terms of the Convertible Loan Notes are as follows:
-- quantum of GBP400,000;
-- three year term repayable on 1 April 2016;
-- interest rate of 10% per annum on outstanding capital
balances, such interest to be accrued and rolled up to 1 April
2016;
-- convertible at the discretion of the holder at any time after
15 April 2013 with the conversion price being the average of the
closing mid-market price of the ten working days prior to
conversion or the placing price achieved under any future equity
fundraising.
FBD will not be able to convert any proportion of the
Convertible Loan Notes into Kedco ordinary shares if to do so would
result in FBD holding in excess of 29.9% of Kedco's issued share
capital.
By virtue of FBD's existing shareholding in the Company, the
Convertible Loan Notes constitute a related party transaction for
the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. The
independent directors of Kedco (comprising Gerry Madden, Steve
Dalton, Eddie Barrett and Brendan Halpin consider, having consulted
with Deloitte (the Company's nominated adviser), that the terms of
the Convertible Loan Notes are fair and reasonable insofar as the
Company's other shareholders are concerned.
In addition, another existing Kedco investor has irrevocably
undertaken to subscribe GBP100,000 at a future equity fundraising
to be undertaken by the Company.
