REFINANCING - RESULTS OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING AND LITIGATION UPDATE
Minorplanet Systems Plc ("Minorplanet") announces that at its Extraordinary
General Meeting held on 1 September 2009 all resolutions in relation to the
Refinancing, as outlined in the circular to shareholders dated 6 August 2009
(the "Circular"), were duly passed.
As part of the Refinancing the Company announced an Open Offer. The Open Offer
closed at 11.00 a.m. on 27 August 2009. Applications under the Open Offer were
received for 988,328 New Ordinary Shares. The New Ordinary Shares available
under the Open Offer were not placed subject to clawback nor were they
underwritten. Consequently, the balance of 6,047,168 New Ordinary Shares that
were available will not be issued. The Company has, through the Refinancing,
raised GBP1.45 million before expenses.
Admission of the new Placing and Open Offer Shares is expected to take place on
2 September 2009 and definitive Share Certificates for the Placing and Open
Offer are expected to be despatched to shareholders by 9 September 2009.
In addition to the funds raised under the Placing and Open Offer, as set out in
the Circular the Company has negotiated additional funding of up to GBP400,000
through Block Discount Loan Facilities with Siemens Financial Services Limited
and ING Lease (UK) Limited.
Finally, the Company is pleased to announce that it has reached a settlement
with Asbury Park S.A. ("Asbury"). Minorplanet has agreed pay to Asbury the sum
of EUR170,000 secured by a debenture and payable in the following instalments:
* EUR70,000 on 14 September 2009;
* EUR50,000 on 14 September 2010; and
* EUR50,000 on 14 March 2011.
In addition, the Company has granted Asbury a transferable warrant to subscribe
for up to 450,000 New Ordinary Shares of 20 pence each in the capital of
Minorplanet at an exercise price of 30p per share, exercisable by not later than
14 September 2012.
The Board believes that the settlement is in the best interests of the Company
in that it eliminates a significant uncertainty relating to future costs and
potential liability attributable to this long standing dispute in respect of its
former Spanish subsidiary.
