Newick Convertible Loan - Update

Further to the announcement made on 23 January 2014, and following discussions with the intermediary which remitted the £125,000 to Verdes on 16 January 2014, the Board has agreed at a board meeting held this afternoon to repay this sum to the intermediary.

Under the convertible loan agreement ("Newick Convertible Loan Agreement") of 4 October 2013 (as amended on 16 December 2013) with Newick Developments Limited ("Newick"), an amount of £125,000 was due on 20 December 2013, and the balance of £375,000 has now fallen due following the passing of certain resolutions at the general meeting held on 15 January 2014.

Arrangements are being put in place to receive the outstanding amounts of £125,000 and £375,000 from Newick as soon as possible.
