AIM Release
27 November 2017
Corporate Update
Further to the announcement dated 20 November 2017, BOS GLOBAL Holdings Limited ("BOS GLOBAL" or the "Company") provides the following update.
BOS Global remains in active dialogue with Innovation Corporation Limited ("Innovation"), the Company's primary funding provider, however the Company has not yet received any formal confirmation or response from Innovation regarding:
· its funding solution for BOS GLOBAL;
· its recommendation for how Innovation's proposed new directors plan to complete the Company's audited financial accounts for the year ended 30 June 2017 by 31 December 2017; and
· a course of action to secure the appointment of a new Nominated Adviser ('Nomad'), as the Company's current Nomad, RFC Ambrian Limited, has given the Company notice of their planned resignation (effective 10 January 2018).
Separately, the Board continues to work closely with its accountants and auditor to finalise the Company's accounts by the end of 2017 and is assessing its options with respect to obtaining a new Nomad.
In respect of the potential Board transition noted in the Company's announcement dated 20 November 2017, the other names outside those nominated in the section 249D notice are being considered and reviewed for appropriateness both individually and as a collective for the needs of the Company. While this work is ongoing, a suitable board composition is yet to emerge.
Furthermore, as shareholders will be aware, in line with the Convertible Loan Note ('CLN') a payment of £125,000 was due from Innovation on or about 23 November 2017. Despite requests from the Company, no payment has of yet been received. Accordingly, the Board is now actively pursuing alternative sources of finance and the Company is pleased to confirm that it has received an independent approach from a credible funding party keen to support future growth initiatives. The Company's broker, Peterhouse Corporate Finance Limited ('Peterhouse'), has also received positive investment interest.
The Board of BOS GLOBAL is not currently in a position to complete a security interest document in favour of Innovation over BOS GLOBAL's assets as the terms and scope of such a security interest are yet to be agreed. The Board remains committed to finding a resolution that satisfies all parties and best positions BOS GLOBAL for growth and will continue to keep shareholders updated on developments.
