Result of AGM and issue of bonus warrants

The Company is pleased to announce that, at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held earlier today, all the resolutions (other than resolution 2 which was withdrawn) were duly passed.

In addition, further to the announcement of 21 December 2016 and pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors, the Company has determined to create and issue up to 9,350,443 warrants, each warrant entitling the holder thereof to subscribe for one Ordinary Share of 0.1p in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 80p per Ordinary Share exercisable at any time until the final subscription date of 24 August 2017 (the "2017 Bonus Warrants"). As previously announced, the record date for the 2017 Bonus Warrants is 5pm today 5 January 2017.

No application is being made for the 2017 Bonus Warrants to be traded on AIM or any other public market although warrants are transferable under the terms of the Warrant Instrument. If any of the warrants remain unexercised after the final subscription date, they will expire. 

A copy of the Warrant Instrument, which contains provisions typically found in such instruments, including those relating to the adjustment of the terms of the warrants, protections for holders of warrants and the procedures for the modification of the rights of the warrants, will be available to download from the Company's website (www.mercomcapital.co.uk).

The 2017 Bonus Warrants will not be CREST enabled.

Warrant certificates in respect of 2017 Bonus Warrant entitlements are expected to be despatched to qualifying shareholders within 7 days.

Qualifying shareholders who are in any doubt about the implications of the 2017 Bonus Warrants on their personal tax position should consult their professional adviser.
