("MediLink" or the "Company")
Loan facility and related party transaction
The Board of MediLink, the electronic healthcard network service provider, is pleased to announce that on 16 March 2012 the Company agreed terms on a loan from Shia Kok Fat, Chief Executive Officer of MediLink, whereby he has agreed to advance an unsecured loan of £300,000 to MediLink (the "Loan"). The funds from the Loan are expected to be advanced to the Company by 31 March 2012 and will be used by MediLink for general working capital purposes and in particular to provide funding for the capital expenditure requirements of MediLink's operations in both China and Malaysia.
The key terms of the Loan are as follows:
(i) It carries interest at 6 per cent. per annum (accruing monthly) payable in arrears on a monthly basis;
(ii) The principal of the Loan will fall due for repayment on 31 December 2014. The repayment date of the Loan will be capable of being extended beyond 31 December 2014 subject to agreement between the Company and Shia Kok Fat and conditional on the Loan being repaid at a minimum rate of £50,000 per annum thereafter;
(iii) It is unsecured; and
(iv) It is not convertible into new ordinary shares in MediLink.
As Shia Kok Fat is a director of MediLink, the Loan constitutes a related party transaction pursuant to Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. The directors of MediLink excluding Shia Kok Fat, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, Allenby Capital Limited, consider that the terms of the Loan are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
