"The Company believes it will be able to assimilate Steeldrum into Columbus using our existing cash resources and the revenues we are generating from our ongoing operations. Nevertheless, the Board considered it prudent to ensure we have access to additional funds to cover any short-term issues that may come our way when integrating the two organisations and when we are seeking to optimise our new assets over the next few months. We are very grateful that Lind has provided a short-term loan facility of up to $3.25 million to support the Steeldrum transaction. This drawdown facility, where Lind can convert any outstanding loans into ordinary shares at 8.1 pence per share, provides us with financial flexibility to optimise the new organisation and deal with any un-expected financial issues and once again demonstrates their confidence in the future potential of our Company. As a result, and due to the financial terms we have agreed, we believe the Lind Facility is accretive for our shareholders as it minimises any equity dilution whilst providing real financial flexibility at minimal cost."
