HaloSource, Inc.

Placing to raise £7 million

HaloSource, Inc. ("HaloSource" or "the Company"), the clean water and antimicrobial technology company, announces the successful conditional placing of 63,636,363 new common shares (the "Placing Shares") to existing investors (the "Placing") at 11 pence per Placing Share (the "Placing Price") to raise approximately £7 million.

HaloSource intends to use the net proceeds of the Placing for general working capital purposes and to fund expansion of its Drinking Water and Environmental Water business segments. Liberum is acting as sole broker in relation to the Placing.

The Placing Shares will be issued credited as fully paid and will rank equally with the existing common shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared in respect of such shares after the date of their issue. The Placing Shares will represent approximately 29% of the enlarged issued common share capital of the Company. Following the Placing, the total issued common share capital of the Company will comprise 220,230,404 common shares of no par value trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange plc ("AIM").

The Placing is conditional on, inter alia, the Company obtaining: (a) sufficient approval from the existing shareholders to amend the articles of incorporation to increase the authorised share capital of the Company; and (b) the requisite number of waivers of existing shareholders to issue the Placing Shares without having to make a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders. On obtaining the requisite shareholder approval and waivers, the Company will apply for admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to occur at 8:00 a.m. on 18 November 2014 (or such later time as Liberum and the Company may agree, being not later than 8:00 a.m. on 2 December 2014).

The appendix to this announcement (the "Announcement"), which forms part of the Announcement, sets out further details of the Placing and the action to be taken by shareholders in relation to the waivers to allow the Placing to occur.

APPENDIX: FURTHER DETAILS OF THE PLACING

Conditions of the Placing

The Placing is conditional on, inter alia, obtaining the approval and waivers from the requisite number of existing shareholders as to both the Articles Amendment and Pre-emptive Rights, as described below.

The Board of Directors of the Company considers the approval of the Articles Amendment and the waiver of the Pre-Emptive Rights in order to effect the Placing to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole, and therefore unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the Articles Amendment and consent to the waiver of the Pre-Emptive Rights.

Articles Amendment

The Articles of Incorporation of the Company currently authorise 200,000,000 total common shares for issuance by the Company. Completion of the Placing will take the number of issued common shares in the Company above 200,000,000, and as such, the Company is seeking the authority of shareholders to amend and restate the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the "Articles Amendment") to increase the total number of shares which the Company has authority to issue to 400,000,000 shares of common stock in order to (i) issue the Placing Shares and (ii) issue additional shares pursuant to offerings or commitments that may take place in the future, up to the amount in aggregate of 400,000,000 shares of common stock.

Pre-emptive Rights

The Articles of Incorporation of the Company provide that each shareholder shall have a pre-emption right to purchase its pro rata share of any new securities that the Company may propose to sell and issue wholly for cash ("Pre-emptive Rights"), save that the Pre-emptive Rights are subject to waiver by existing shareholders of the Company holding 75% of the Company's outstanding common shares.

Shareholders holding their shares in certificated form will receive a Form of Proxy for execution to provide such written waivers, and should execute and return to Computershare Investor Services (Jersey) Limited, c/o The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY or by return of a PDF copy by email to!UKALLDITeam2@computershare.co.uk as soon as possible and in any event before 5.30pm (London time) on 14 November 2014.

Shareholders holding their shares as depository interests in CREST will receive a Form of Instruction for execution to provide such written waivers from Computershare Investor Services PLC and should execute and return their form for execution by post to Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY, or alternatively instruction via CREST or email a PDF copy to Computershare Investor Services PLC (email: !UKALLDITeam2@computershare.co.uk), as soon as possible and in any event before 4pm (London time) on 13 November 2014.

On obtaining the requisite shareholder waivers, the Company will apply for Admission of the Placing Shares. Admission is expected to occur at 8:00 a.m. on 18 November 2014 (or such later time as Liberum and the Company may agree, being not later than 8:00 a.m. on 2 December 2014).

Recent European Regulatory Developments

On 23 July 2014 the Council of the European Union adopted Regulation 909/2014 (the "CSD Regulation") which will impact the settlement of securities traded on the London Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"). The CSD Regulation requires in part that, where transactions in transferable securities take place on a trading venue, the relevant securities should be recorded in book entry form in a central securities depository on or before the intended settlement date (unless already so recorded). This requirement applies irrespective of whether the security is currently eligible for electronic settlement or not and applies to all transactions executed under the rules of the Exchange. On 18 September 2014, the Exchange provided a market notice indicating that it intends to amend its rules effective 5 January 2015 in order to ensure that all securities traded on the Exchange settle electronically in book entry form.

Investors participating in the Placing will receive shares in certificated form to facilitate the inclusion of required restrictive legends which cannot currently be applied to securities in book entry form. The Exchange intends to work with issuers to provide a mechanism to facilitate the application of such restrictive legends to securities in book entry form. However, as of the date of this announcement, a mechanism has not yet been developed, and there is a possibility that if no mechanism is developed by 2 January 2015, then AIM may require that the shares issued in the Placing be suspended from trading.
