Announcement of proposed fundraising to raise capital through equity capital
markets, change of year end and end of offer period
Further to previous announcements regarding the future funding and capital
structure of the Company, the Board is pleased to announce that it intends to
strengthen the Company's balance sheet by seeking to raise funds through the
equity capital markets.
The Board believes that such a fundraising would provide the Company with the
required longer term funding structure it needs, and would enable it to
capitalise on opportunities to increase its market share. The Company is in
advanced discussions with its banks in relation to the provision of appropriate
new debt facilities in the context of the proposed fundraising. As announced on
26 February 2009, the Company's current facilities remain on the same terms as
previously announced save that the next review date is now 31 March 2010.
It is intended that existing, as well as new shareholders would have the
opportunity to participate in the proposed fundraising.
On 12 November 2009 the Company announced a strategic review one of the possible
outcomes was an offer for the company and the Company therefore went into an
offer period under the rules of the Takeover Code. The Company confirms it is no
longer considering an option that includes an offer for the company and
therefore the Offer Period ends.
For operational reasons the Board intends to change the financial year end of
the Company to 31 March, and so the Company's next Annual Report will cover the
fourteen months to 31 March 2010.
The Board anticipates that another update will be provided when the fundraising
proposal has been progressed further.
