Fully agree that the Subscription Deed is most unusual insofar as it " appears" to favour
the company regarding the issue and pricing of new subscription shares.
However, the investor has been given free shares as a deal sweetener.....880,000 at a nominal value
and 455,130 to cover fees......effectively over 3% of current shares in issue.
If the SP is at , for example, £1 at the prepayment dates then the new investor will be issued with approx 1.82 million
shares which when added to the free shares will give him total shares of 3.155 million shares valued at £ 3.155 m
for an investment of £ 1.7m in total.......an 85% return.
Conversely, if the SP drops to say 10p at the prepayment dates then the Investor can , if he so wishes, subscribe for
18.2 million shares and thereby obtain 29.3% of the equity.
Obviously, a share price of 10p may be an event of default in the agreement and the investor can walk away.
To summarise it is clear that Levi and his team must deliver over the next 18 months and achieve
a high share price to keep everyone happy and maintain control of the company.
The new investor will not complain if the share price rockets and neither will the rest of us here.
