Holdings in Company
2 January 2013
On 2 January 2013, the Company received notification that, as of 31 December 2012 General Enterprise Management Services (International) Limited ("GEMS") held an indirect and beneficial interest in 36,924,217 ordinary shares in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), consisting of 9,397,899 Ordinary Shares and a warrant entitling GEMS to acquire a further 27,526,318 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of 4.54-19.22p per share. If these warrants were exercised (and assuming no other warrants or options in the Company were exercised) the resulting holding of GEMS would be less than 3% of the voting rights of the then issued ordinary share capital of the Company. Therefore GEMS no longer holds a notifiable interest in the Company.
GEMS is the parent undertaking of Asia Resources Fund Ltd, which is the parent undertaking of ARF Energy Limited ("ARF"). ARF is the warrant holder and legal owner of the ordinary shares.
