AIM - WINNERS

Westminster Group PLC, up 27% at 1.4 pence, 12-month range 1.05p-3.5p. The London-based specialist security and services company has signed a minimum 15 year contract to provide security at four airports in Gabon. The deal is for an initial period of 15 years, with the option to then be renewed for another five. Westminster will "provide comprehensive ground security operations" and "provide the investment and expertise required to upgrade security", including "advanced detection, surveillance, and screening equipment". Expects the contract to generate around USD5.5 million in revenue for the first 12 months of operation. Westminster also announces that it has agreed to issue 100.0 million subscription shares at 1.2p each, raising GBP1.2 million, to Pantheon A Family Office Ltd, which should be appointing a representative to Westminster's board "in due course". Notes that the subscription was conditional on the signing of the Gabon contract, with net proceeds to be utilised for that project's working capital purposes.
