Inland Homes PLC - Buckinghamshire, England-based brownfield site developer, housebuilder and regeneration specialist - Launches direct subscription offer for up to GBP4.6 million by the issue of up to 46.0 million new ordinary shares at a price per share of 10 pence.

Stephen Wicks, a founder of Inland Homes, former chief executive officer, and its major shareholder, says that he would like to participate in the subscription for a total of GBP2.5 million. Further to its announcement on March 23, Inland Homes is in advanced discussions with a view to commissioning an independent report from a professional services firm. The completion of such a report is a pre-condition to the finalisation of its audit process, which is estimated will take a number of weeks. In the meantime, it is not able to publish its audited results before March 31, and its shares will be suspended from AIM on April 3.
