SUPERGLASS HOLDINGS PLC

 ("Superglass" or the "Company")

 

 

Result of General Meeting

 

All Resolutions Approved

 

Successful Placing of 25,800,000 Placing Shares to raise £12.9 million

Debt Conversion

Capital Reorganisation

Share Consolidation

Delisting and Transfer to AIM

 

The Board of Superglass is pleased to announce that, at the General Meeting of the Company held today, the Resolutions to approve, inter alia, the allotment of 25,800,000 New Ordinary Shares to raise £12.9 million (before the deduction of expenses), the Delisting, the Capital Reorganisation and the Share Consolidation, were duly passed.

 

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ('Admission') and it is expected that Admission will occur, and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence, at 8.00 a.m. on 4 June 2013. The Placing Price of 50 pence per New Ordinary Share is the equivalent of 2 pence per Existing Ordinary Share prior to the Share Consolidation.

 

Completion of this refinancing will provide the Company with a considerably strengthened, long term capital structure as a platform upon which to build a sustainable, strong and resilient business that is better positioned to compete more effectively in challenging markets.

 

The debt restructuring, as set out in the Circular issued by the Company on 3 May 2013, will complete on Admission. Under the terms of the agreement with Clydesdale Bank, £5.725 million of indebtedness owed by Superglass will be converted into Convertible Shares in return for the early repayment of £3 million of debt using part of the proceeds of the Placing.

 

The Debt Conversion and the early repayment of debt will together result in a reduction of £8.725 million in Superglass' core debt to a substantially reduced level of £2.5 million, which will be a non-amortising loan with a bullet repayment due on 30 April 2018.

 

Cash balances on Admission are expected to be at least £8.4 million (assuming the Bridging Facility has been fully drawn at that point).

 

The full text of the Resolutions passed together with a summary of the proxy appointments and voting results are available for inspection on the Company's website (www.superglass.co.uk). The Circular has previously been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and is available for inspection at www.Hemscott.com/nsm.do.  

 

Capitalised terms used in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Circular.
