MICROEMISSIVE DISPLAYS GROUP PLC
("MED" or "the Company")
Intention to appoint administrators
Following its statement issued on 30 September 2008, which inter alia states that cash resources were likely to be exhausted by mid-December 2008 should they not re-finance the business, the Board of MED regrettably announces that after extensive negotiations with potential funders, it has exhausted all strategic and financing options available to it.
As a consequence, the Board announces that it has resolved to file a notice of intention to appoint administrators.
In light of the interest shown in eyescreenTM by a large number of industry participants, the Board continues to believe it is a compelling technology and product with market leading features.
Despite this interest, the severe slowdown in the demand for consumer electronics has negatively impacted the conversion of this interest to sales and revenue.
The Company has therefore requested that trading in its shares on AIM be suspended with immediate effect.
A further statement will be made in due course.
