CLS Conversion Period and Total Voting Rights
Conversion of Unsecured Loan Stock
At the close of the conversion period for the 10 per cent. convertible unsecured loan stock ("CLS") at 72p, conversion notices in respect of 222,789 CLS units (representing £2,227,890 in nominal amount) were received, which will result in the issue of 3,094,288 new ordinary shares of 5p each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") (the "Conversion"). The Conversion will occur on 27 November 2014.
As a result of the Conversion, a de minimis amount of interest due on the CLS which was accrued during the first half of the year and included in the interim results will not be paid. The next conversion period will be the 14 day period commencing 1 May 2015 when the conversion price will be 85p per Ordinary Share.
Admission and Total Voting Rights
Application will be made for 3,094,288 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"), which is expected to occur on 28 November 2014.
Following Conversion there will be 352,250 units of CLS in issue and the total number of CLS with voting rights will be 352,250.
Following Conversion and Admission, the Company will have 18,820,726 Ordinary Shares in issue. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore the total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights in the Company will be 18,820,726.
The above figures may be used by Shareholders in the Company as the denominators for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company.
