Funding update
On 3 December 2009 ClearDebt announced that it had acquired from the
administrator (Jonathan Elman Avery-Gee) part of the businesses and assets of
four subsidiaries of Relax Group plc (in administration), namely approximately
6,500 Individual Voluntary Arrangements, Protected Trust Deeds and Debt
Management Plans (the "Relax Assets") for GBP2.7 million. The Company made
interim payments totaling GBP550,000 to the administrator in December 2009 and
January 2010.
On 12 February 2010, ClearDebt announced that it had received a loan of
GBP500,000 (the "Loan") from Synergy Capital Limited ("Synergy"). Using the
Loan and its own resources, the Company made a further payment of GBP1 million
to the administrator and announced that it would be carrying out a fundraising
exercise to repay the Loan and pay the remaining amount outstanding to the
administrator within 2 months.
The Company is pleased to announce that it has completed this exercise by way of
the issue of up to GBP2.3 million of fixed rate secured loan notes 2013 ("Loan
Notes") in CDG (Guernsey) Limited, a ClearDebt wholly owned subsidiary. Synergy
(and new investors for whom Synergy acts as Security Trustee) and David Mond,
the Company's Chief Executive, have invested GBP1.53 million and GBP500,000 at
par respectively into the Loan Notes.
The monies raised from the issue of the Loan Notes will be used to pay the
remaining balance due to the administrator of the Relax assets, to repay the
Loan from Synergy and to part repay David Mond in respect of a loan made by him
to the Company in 2007.
Mr Mond commented: "We are delighted that an entrepreneurial investor like
Synergy has demonstrated its continued commitment to the ClearDebt story and has
completed a follow-on investment in the Company."
The Company intends to convene a General Meeting prior to 30 June 2010 at which
shareholders will be asked to vote, inter alia, on giving the Loan Notes
conversion rights into ordinary shares in ClearDebt.
A further announcement will be made in due course.
