Travelzest plc ("Travelzest" or the "Company")
Suspension of shares
Following the announcement made today at 11.49am regarding the passing of all resolutions at a General Meeting relating to the placing of New Ordinary Shares, the Company announces that 7198914 Canada, Inc. ("Newco") has missed the payment deadline to invest £2.0 million in Travelzest as detailed in the circular to Shareholders dated 5 August 2009 (the "Circular").
Jonathan Carroll and Jack Fraser, two of the five shareholders in Newco, remain committed to investing on the agreed terms.
The Company has requested that Investec, as agent for the Company, uses reasonable endeavours to procure placees to substitute for the £2.0 million which Newco had contracted to invest. Given the importance to the Company of the Placing, the Company has today requested the immediate suspension of its Ordinary Shares from trading on AIM pending clarification of its financial position.
The Amended Facility Agreement as described in the Circular is dependent on the Placing. The Company has had positive discussions with its bankers and certain placees and intends to pursue a revised Placing.
All capitalised terms in this announcement have the same meaning as defined in the circular to Shareholders dated 5 August 2009.
