Proventec Plc
("Proventec" or the "Company")
Agreement in Principle reached and Further Update re Suspension
Further to the announcements on 21 and 25 June, the Board of Proventec is
pleased to announce that following the agreement between InnoConcepts N.V.
("InnoConcepts") Proventec's major shareholder with 36.2% of the share capital,
and the representatives of 75% of the GBP15 million 8.5% fixed rate convertible
guaranteed unsecured loan notes 2012, Proventec has now reached agreement in
principle for a comprehensive restructuring with the representatives of the loan
notes which includes:
+----+-------------------------------------------------------+
| · | a cash injection of GBP2.5 million; |
| | |
+----+-------------------------------------------------------+
| · | a reduced value and coupon loan note; and |
| | |
+----+-------------------------------------------------------+
| · | a significant conversion of debt and loan notes into |
| | equity. |
+----+-------------------------------------------------------+
It is likely that the restructuring will require the approval of shareholders
and it is the intention of the Board that, if so required, an appropriate
circular to shareholders calling a general meeting of the Company, and setting
out any necessary resolutions for shareholder approval together with a more
detailed explanation of the background to the proposals and the terms agreed,
will be sent out as soon as possible.
Until such time as the circular with regard to the above agreement can be
published, the Company will remain suspended pending clarification of its
financial position which is expected shortly. A further announcement will be
made in due course.
