Issue of 10% Unsecured Convertible Loan Notes
Pinnacle (AIM: PINN), the provider of integrated telecommunications solutions and services announces the creation of £250,000 unsecured convertible loan notes ("Loan Notes") in units of £5,000, of which Loan Notes of a nominal value of £125,000 were issued today (the "Commencement Date") for cash at par.

The Loan Notes are convertible into Ordinary Shares by the Company at any time following the second anniversary of the Commencement Date, or by the holders of the Loan Notes at any time following the period of thirty days following the second anniversary of the Commencement Date. The conversion price in each case will be a discount of 15% to the mid-market price per Ordinary Share as at close of business on the date five days after service of the relative conversion notice, subject to a minimum of nominal value.
