The assets sold include the Maxboxmachines, IT stock, the lease to the property and the goodwill. Theconsideration payable by Mr. Egan was £175,000 paid in cash on completion, withdeferred consideration equalling 77% of remaining rent deposit (approximately£25,000) payable once reassignment of the lease has taken place. Under the AIM Rules, this transaction is classed as a related party transaction,due to the fact that Mr. Egan has been a director of Felix within the last 12months. However, as Felix Corporation was in administration and the directorsof Felix (the "Directors") had no control over the terms of any asset sale, orover the party to whom they were sold, the Directors are not able to give a fairand reasonable opinion on the terms of transaction. Felix will update themarket in due course as to its cash position when it has received the netproceeds (if any) of the Felix Corporation asset sale.
