Result of Open Offer

 

 

On 26 March 2010, the Company announced an 8 for 15 Open Offer to raise gross proceeds of £25 million by the issue of 35,631,326 Open Offer Shares at a price of 70 pence per Open Offer Share.

 

The Open Offer closed at 11.00 a.m. on 13 April 2010. Under the Open Offer, valid applications have been received from Qualifying Shareholders in respect of their Basic Entitlements for, in aggregate, 18,487,890 Open Offer Shares, representing approximately 51.9 per cent. of the 35,631,326 Open Offer Shares offered pursuant to the Open Offer.

 

As a consequence, 17,143,436 Open Offer Shares were available pursuant to the Excess Application Facility. Valid applications pursuant to the Excess Application Facility have been received in respect of 27,281,744 Excess Shares, representing approximately 159.1 per cent. of the Excess Shares available. Applications for Excess Shares under the Excess Application Facility have therefore been scaled back and Qualifying Shareholders will receive approximately 62.8 per cent. of their application under the Excess Application Facility.

 

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the 35,631,326 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 14 April 2010.

 

The issued share capital of the Company upon Admission will be 102,440,064 Ordinary Shares of nominal value US$0.01 each.

 

Patrick Hall, Chairman of the Company, commented: "We are delighted to have had a positive response to the fundraising. We have identified an attractive opportunity to accelerate our capital expenditure programme which will allow us to create further value for PSPI's shareholders. As such, these new funds represent a significant step forward for PSPI and create a strong platform for future growth."
