According to my calculations, the CULs holders will be paying 0.3p per share for their shares. This is based on this statement from the RNS of 1 November: "Upon conversion, the CULs Investors shall obtain new Ordinary Shares in the Company equivalent to 65.54% of the enlarged share capital of the Company, based on the current issued share capital of 113,918,497 ordinary 5p shares following the issue of the Robust Shares." IMHO in other words, the CULs investors will own 65.54% of the share capital after the issue of the shares to them arising on conversion. So the number of ordinary shares in issue will be 330,585,164 after the conversion, as they will own 216,666,667 (65.54%) and the current holders the 113,918,497 (34.46%). I arrive at the 0.3p conversion price by dividing the cost to them of £650,000 by the 216,666,667 shares they will receive.
IF we assume that the placing at 5p was made to the same investors as the CULs holders, they would be getting their shares in the company at an average price of just under 1.16p per my calculations.
Whether that makes any difference to a decision to invest or not, it is up to each to decide, but I hope this is useful.
