Intelligent Energy Holdings plc
("Intelligent Energy" or the "Company")
Completion of Fundraising and Notice of General Meeting
Subscription for convertible loan notes
On 17 May 2016, the Company announced a fundraising through the issuance of convertible loan notes ("Convertible Loan Notes"). The Company is pleased to announce today that it has completed its £30.0 million gross fundraising through the successful subscription by qualifying investors for the Convertible Loan Notes (the "Fundraising").
Pursuant to the terms of the Fundraising, the Company's largest shareholder, Meditor, subscribed for £25,638,293 of the Convertible Loan Notes. In accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement, certain other qualifying investors elected to participate in the Fundraising and subscribed for £4,361,707 Convertible Loan Notes. The additional subscribers for the Convertible Loan Notes included Evolution Placements Corporation (who have subscribed for £2,050,000 Convertible Loan Notes) and Royalton Percy LLC (who have subscribed for £526,707 Convertible Loan Notes).
On the assumption that all of the Convertible Loan Notes held by Meditor are converted, no other Convertible Loan Note holders exercise their conversion rights and the Reinvestment Shares are issued, Meditor would hold 69.3 per cent. of the then issued share capital of the Company.
