TERMS OF NOTE RESTRUCTURING REACHED IN PRINCIPLE 
 
 
Radicle (EPIC: RDP.L), the AIM quoted UK company which owns and operates 
Australian agribusiness projects, today announces that it has reached an 
agreement in principle with holders of the Series A Convertible Note ("Note") 
representing more than 75% of the Note holders, to restructure the terms of the 
Note. 
 
 
The terms of the proposed restructuring are conditional upon the Company 
securing funding adequate to meet working capital for the farm operating and 
other costs. This funding, and that to pay forthcoming Note coupon payments, are 
expected to include the disposal of certain of the Company's assets and an issue 
of new equity, details of which are expected to be announced shortly. 
 
 
The restructuring provides for a reduction in the face value of the debt to 60% 
of the original GBP15.1 million value of the Notes. The face value will be 
escalated back to 100% over the remaining term of the Notes on a monthly basis. 
(Notes mature in June 2012). 
 
 
The coupon interest payment due in December 2009 will be deferred until 30 June 
2010. 
 
 
Going forward, interest will remain payable at 8% per annum on the face value of 
the debt. 
 
 
Cash raised as a result of asset sales by Radicle may be applied to reduce debt 
by buying the Notes back at the reduced face value applicable at the time, after 
coupon obligations are met. 
 
 
A Note holder committee will be formed and the Company will provide quarterly 
updates on the progress of the Company and the sale of assets to Note holders, 
and will be timed to coincide with scheduled board meetings. 
 
 
Radicle will also provide an opportunity for Note holders to convert to equity 
when new funds have been raised by the Company and the conversion strike price 
will be adjusted in accordance with the Trust Deed when new funds have been 
raised with the price increasing monthly over the life of the Notes. 
 
 
 
 
Chief Executive Tim Bennett commented: 
 
 
"The revised terms agreed with Note holders give Radicle an attractive 
opportunity to rationalize its assets and reduce debt overall, and significantly 
improve its cash position going forward. 
 
 
This is a good result for shareholders, and one which we believe is fair to Note 
holders. 
 
 
Radicle is now working hard to capitalize on the opportunity to reduce debt and 
improve cash flows. The creation of project management opportunities in 
alliances with third party clients and new partners will continue and is 
expected to boost cash flows and reduce investor risk." 
 
 
A meeting of Note holders will be arranged to finalize the restructure in due 
course.
