Final Settlement of Claims in Respect of Open Offer
On 20 November 2008, the Company announced 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.
On 27 February 2009, the Company announced that the Open Offer had effectively
been closed with a total of 1,608,579,082 Offer Shares having been issued,
providing gross proceeds of US$12 million. It was also announced at that time
that applications in respect of 137,248,185 Offer Shares remained unpaid and
given that these applications were also associated with legally binding
irrevocable undertakings, the Company would continue to take steps to pursue the
recovery of monies owed.
The Company today announces that it has negotiated a settlement in respect of
the outstanding commitments associated with the Open Offer and has since
received a final settlement payment of GBP515,000. In terms of the final
negotiated settlement the Company will, subject to shareholder consent at the
Company's upcoming AGM, issue by private placement a further 38,897,281 ordinary
shares at an issue price of 1.324 pence, which represents a premium of 165 %
over the Open Offer issue price of 0.5 pence.
Commenting on this development, Chief Executive Brett Thompson stated, "I am
pleased that we have achieved a satisfactory conclusion to this matter. It is
prudent at present to maintain a strong cash balance and these funds will
certainly assist in this regard as well as boosting the Company's working
capital and therein, its continued operational progress."
