Open Offer Update
On 15 December 2008, the Company announced the results of an Open Offer for the
issue of up to 2,007,745,770 new Ordinary Shares at 0.5 pence per Ordinary
Share, on the basis of 15 Offer Shares for each existing Ordinary Share.
The Open Offer was subject to the satisfaction or waiver of inter alia the
following conditions by no later than 28 February 2009:
(i) not less than US$12 million in aggregate being raised under the Open
Offer (based on an exchange rate of GBP1:US$1.492); and
(ii) Admission of not less than 1,608,579,081 Offer Shares (being such
number as is required to satisfy condition (i) above).
The Company has provided regular updates of progress of the Open Offer, most
recently on 19 February 2009, at which time applications in respect of
208,511,235 Offer Shares remained unpaid but which the Company, in accordance
with the terms of the Open Offer, elected to treat as valid and binding on the
persons by whom they were lodged.
The Company today announces that it has since received payment in respect of
71,263,050 Offer Shares providing proceeds to the Company of GBP356,315.25
(US$531,622.35 at an exchange rate of GBP1:US$1.492). The Company has therefore
today issued and allotted 71,263,050 ordinary shares of US$0.005 each
('Shares'). Application has been made to the AIM Market of the London Stock
Exchange ('AIM') for the admission to trading of those Shares ('Admission'),
which is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on 5 March 2009.
In aggregate, 1,608,579,082 Offer Shares have now been issued pursuant to the
Open Offer, thus providing gross proceeds of US$12 million at an exchange rate
of GBP1:US$1.492 and satisfying condition (i) above. While Admission is not
expected to occur until 5 March 2009, in light of the satisfaction of condition
(i) and application for Admission having been made, the Directors have elected
to waive condition (ii) above. All outstanding conditions to the Open Offer have
now therefore been satisfied or waived and the Company is not obliged to issue
any further Shares at the Open Offer price.
Applications in respect of 137,248,185 Offer Shares remain unpaid and given that
the majority of these applications are also associated with legally binding
irrevocable undertakings, the Company continues to take steps to pursue the
recovery of monies owed under these applications but with regard to the market
price of the Shares. There is however no guarantee that these efforts will be
successful.
Details of the Open Offer were contained in a circular to shareholders dated 20
November 2008 (the 'Circular'). This announcement should be read in conjunction
with the Circular and terms defined in the Circular have the same meaning in
this announcement.
