NLG Arria Nlg Ords

LONDON-- Arria NLG PLC (NLG.LN), a specialist in technology for automatic report writing, Thursday said a contract with oil company Royal Dutch Shell PLC's (RDSA.LN) Shell Exploration & Production Company announced last year has been terminated.

Trading and revenue for the year ended September 2015 will be significantly below expectations due to the termination, said Arria, adding that discussions over fundraising have been suspended as these had been predicated on revenue expectations that included the Shell contract.

Shares at 0705 GMT, down 24 pence, or 77.4%, at 7 pence valuing the company at GBP7.3 million ($10.9 million).
