Subscription Completed
The Company is pleased to confirm that it has secured new funding to replace the
GBP75,000 in respect of certain defaulting subscribers and that, conditional on
the approval of shareholders at today's general meeting, a total of GBP195,000
(gross of expenses) has been raised, as previously announced.
On 28 April 2009, the Company issued a circular to shareholders convening a
general meeting for 10.30am today, 21 May 2009 (the "Circular"). The Circular
detailed the acquisition of The Casting Suite and Production Switchboard Limited
together with the receipt of subscription letters for 39,000,000 new ordinary
shares, in aggregate, at 0.5 pence per share, raising a total of GBP195,000.
On 14 May 2009, the Company announced that the subscribers for 15,000,000 new
ordinary shares had defaulted on the payment of their subscription monies, being
GBP75,000 in aggregate, and that the Board was in discussion with a number of
potential new investors. The Company is pleased to announce today that it has
agreed terms with a new investor to replace the defaulting subscribers by way of
a convertible loan (the "Loan").
The Loan is convertible into 15,000,000 new ordinary shares at 0.5 pence per
share (the "Conversion Shares"), subject to two conditions. First, that the
Company has issued its report and accounts for the year to 31 December 2008 (it
is expected that this will occur by 30 June 2009, in accordance with the AIM
Rules) and second, that the Company has procured an acceptable third party or
parties to whom the New Investor would have an option to sell the 15,000,000
Conversion Shares at 0.5 pence per share.If the Loan has not been converted by
30 September 2009 then the Loan will become immediately repayable.
It is intended that the Loan is secured by way of a second fixed and floating
charge over the Group's assets (the "Security"). In the event that security is
not put in place within 28 days, the Loan will accrue interest at 10 per cent.
per annum. Mr Martin Eberhardt and Mr James Holmes, two of the Company's
directors, (together the "Guarantors") have agreed to provide a guarantee (as to
half each) in respect of the repayment of the Loan. In the event that the
Guarantors are required to meet the repayment of the Loan and any accrued
interest thereon, the Security will transfer to the Guarantors. In addition the
Company has indemnified the Guarantors against any loss incurred through them
having to meet the repayment of the Loan.
As the Guarantors are directors of the Company, the terms relating to the
guarantee and indemnity are deemed to be a related party transaction for the
purposes of Rule 13 of the Aim Rules. In accordance with the AIM Rules for
Companies, the independent directors of the Company have considered the terms of
each of these transactions and, having consulted with Dowgate Capital Advisers
Ltd., being the Company's Nominated Adviser, are satisfied that those terms are
fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
As a result of the Loan, the attention of the Company's shareholders should be
drawn to certain amendments to the information as set out in the Circular.
Following today's general meeting and assuming that the resolutions are passed
by shareholders the number of shares in issue will be 92,084,666 and not
107,084,666 as previously stated. More detail on the revised subscription
statistics is set out below. In addition, admission to trading on AIM of the
26,000,000 new ordinary shares resulting from the issue of the Subscription
Shares and the Initial Fee Shares (as defined in the Circular), is expected to
occur, and dealings to commence, at 8.00 am on 28 May 2009 and not 22 May 2009,
as previously stated.
The GBP195,000 of funds raised are to be applied primarily to provide additional
working capital for the Company and investment in equipment to expand and update
the facilities fleet and investment in the further development of the online
databases recently acquired.However, due to the additional costs incurred by the
Company in relation to the process of replacing the defaulting subscribers, the
investment in such assets may be less than originally anticipated. In addition,
the monies will be used to pay certain outstanding fees to Directors.
