Update on Fundraising & EGM

NOVENTA LIMITED

("Noventa" or the "Company") (AIM: NVTA; PLUS: NV)

Update on Fundraising & Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM")

21 June 2012

Following ongoing negotiations with Richmond Capital LLP ("Richmond"), the Board of Noventa does not now expect to be able to finalise the long term refinancing plans under the terms announced on 11 May 2012. As a consequence, the Board of Noventa is exploring other long term refinancing options, including an issue of new equity, while continuing to hold discussions with Richmond. The Company's existing US$10m loan facility from Richmond (as described in the announcement of 11 May 2012) matures on 31 July 2012 and the Company will require additional finance in place prior to its expiry.

The Company expects to provide a further update before the end of June.
