Results of the Firm Placing, Open Offer and Placing
On 23 September 2010, the Board of NXT plc (the "Company" or
"NXT"), a provider of unique sound solutions, best known for its
flat panel loudspeaker and touch screen technologies, announced
details of a share issue to raise gross proceeds of up to GBP8.0
million (approximately GBP7.2 million net of expenses) by the issue
of up to 268,075,581 New Ordinary Shares through the Firm Placing,
the Open Offer and the Placing at 3 pence per New Ordinary Share.
Up to 184,800,000 New Ordinary Shares will be issued through the
Firm Placing and the Placing and up to 83,275 581 New Ordinary

Defined terms used in this announcement shall have the same
meaning as those terms defined and used in the prospectus of the
Company dated 23 September 2010.
The Open Offer closed for acceptances at 11.00 a.m. on 15
October 2010. At that time the Company had received valid
acceptances in respect of 104,837,389 Open Offer Shares from
Qualifying Shareholders. This represents approximately 125.9 per
cent. of the Open Offer Shares offered. All eligible applications
from shareholders will be allocated their pre-emption entitlements.

conditionally raised a total of GBP8.0 million before expenses
(GBP7.2million net of expenses) through the Firm Placing, Open
Offer and Placing.

Shares to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List
and to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be

listed securities. It is expected that Admission will become

Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 20 October 2010. Thereafter,
NXT will have a total of 426,695,736 Ordinary Shares in issue.
The New Ordinary Shares, when issued and fully paid will rank
equally in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares.

be credited to CREST accounts on or around 8.00 a.m. on 20 October
