ServicePower Technologies Plc

("ServicePower" or the "Company")

 

New US Head Office and Grant of Warrant

 

ServicePower Technologies Plc (AIM: SVR), a market leader in field management, is pleased to announce that it has secured new premises for its head office in the United States, in Reston, Virginia. Reston is an established hub for growth technology businesses and the high quality offices will serve as a good base from which to service the Company's growing US client base.

 

ServicePower's North American COO, project managers, business analysts, technical consultants, product managers and architects will be centralised in Reston.

 

A sublease has been entered into between ServicePower and Asteria Corporation ("Asteria"), a charitable foundation in the US, for a period of 4 years. Further to the sublease, a warrant agreement has also been entered into with Asteria under which, in lieu of rental payments, the Company has granted Asteria a warrant to subscribe for 4,264,896 ordinary shares of 1 pence each ("Warrant Shares"). The Warrant Shares can be exercised over 5 years in 8 equal parts with only 4 parts to be exercised each year at the closing price for the business day immediately prior to the service of a warrant exercise notice, less 50 per cent.. The agreement preserves the cash in the ServicePower business while demonstrating Asteria's confidence in ServicePower's growth prospects.

 

Following the grant of the warrant as described above, ServicePower has 20,969,667 warrants and options over the Company's shares outstanding.

 

 

Mark Duffin, CEO of ServicePower plc commented, "ServicePower has taken significant strides forward in recent months in the evolution of its offering. Through ServiceBroker and ServiceMarket we have added the next generation of social media technology onto our established platform which we believe means we will be the first to market with a complete field service solution through crowd sourcing - connecting together our customers with independent service technicians giving them a service reach they have never been able to achieve before. The new HQ in Reston, Virginia offers us a fantastic base from which to launch this new offering and establishing our new head quarters."
