RUBICON SOFTWARE GROUP PLC

(AIM: RUBI)

 

Issue of Equity, Directorate Change

 

In its interim results for the period to 31 December 2009, Rubicon Software Group plc ("Rubicon" or "the Company") a leading provider of enterprise class CRM, xRM and Microsoft SharePoint collaboration solutions announced that it had agreed a framework under which new capital would be injected into the Company.

 

Rubicon is pleased to announce the terms which have been agreed between the relevant parties:

 

·; David Cover & Son Limited ("Covers"), one of Rubicon's clients, will provide a short term loan to Rubicon of £60,000 repayable in July 2010 and carrying a rate of interest of 1% per calendar month. The loan will be secured by a floating charge over Rubicon's entire business and undertaking

·; Following shareholder approval at a General Meeting, Covers will subscribe for 3,000,000 new ordinary shares in Rubicon

·; Covers will be granted a warrant to subscribe for an additional 2,000,000 new ordinary shares exercisable over a period of 5 years from the date of grant ("the Warrant")

·; Rupert Green, Covers' Finance Director, has been granted an option to purchase between 500,000 and 1,000,000 ordinary shares each from Richard Blakesley and Alistair Hancock, each of whom are directors of Rubicon, pro rata to their existing shareholdings at a price of 0.5p per ordinary share, dependent on the average 3 month closing mid-market price over the exercise period and exercisable for a period of 5 years from the date of grant ("the Option")

·; Rupert Green has also agreed to acquire 75% (1,875,000) of the 2,500,000 shares in Rubicon currently owned by Information Systems Associates Inc ("ISA"), at a price of 0.7p per share, with two Rubicon directors, Robert Burnham and David Webber, acquiring the remaining 25% (625,000) at the same price.

·; In addition, Robert Burnham and David Webber will each subscribe for 125,000 new ordinary shares at 1p and purchase 400,000 shares from the combined holdings of Richard Blakesley and Alistair Hancock at a price of 0.4p per ordinary share

·; Rupert Green has also agreed to subscribe for 187,500 new ordinary shares in Rubicon

 

With this new capital, based on their review of management projections, the directors believe that the action that has been taken is sufficient to meet the Company's immediate requirement, that is for the next 12 months.

 

As an element of this investment is subject to shareholder approval, the Company hereby gives notice of a General Meeting to be held on 24 May 2010 at 1pm at Rubicon House, Guildford Road, West End, Surrey GU24 9PW.
