Correction - Update on Investment Policy and Suspension
The announcement made by the Company on 31 August 2016 had an incorrect date as to when the Company's shares would be suspended from trading. The correct date is 5 September 2016, not 6 September 2016. The corrected version of the announcement is set out below
On 3 September 2015, the Company announced the sale of its entire interest in its subsidiaries for approximately €17 million. Due to the sale of these assets the Company became an Investing Company under Rule 15 of the AIM Rules for Companies (the "AIM Rules") on that date.
On becoming an Investing Company, the Company was required to make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules or otherwise implement its investing policy within 12 months. If this condition is not fulfilled by 7.30am on 5 September 2016 (the first working day after the anniversary), trading in the Company's shares on AIM will be suspended pursuant to Rule 40 of the AIM Rules. If trading in the Company's shares remains suspended for a period of 6 months from the date of suspension, then trading in the Company's shares on AIM will be cancelled.
A new investing policy was approved by shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting held on 18 December 2015, pursuant to which the Company was mandated to make an acquisition or acquisitions in the natural resources sector which constitute a reverse takeover under Rule 14 of the AIM Rules.
The Company has reviewed and is currently in the process of reviewing various projects and opportunities in the natural resources sector. Although no decisions have been made as yet, the Company is hopeful of concluding a transaction, but this process remains at an early stage and will not be concluded by 7:30 am on 5 September 2016, and thus the Company anticipates that trading of its shares on AIM will be suspended at that time.
As of 30 August 2016 the Company holds cash balances of approximately £1,185,000, which equates to 0.05 pence per share.
