A total of 25,000,000 new Ordinary Shares in the Company have been conditionally placed at a price of 4 pence per new Ordinary Share (the "Placing Price") raising proceeds of approximately £1.0 million (before expenses) together with a subscription by Spring Ventures Group Investments Limited of 6,250,000 new Ordinary Shares at the Placing Price raising proceeds of £0.25 million to partially fund the acquisition of Todd Research Limited. The Placing Price represents a 27.3 per cent. discount to the closing price to the closing price on 16 July 2018 (being the day prior to this announcement).
The Placing is conditional, amongst other things, upon the passing of the Resolutions. The Placing and Subscription Shares will be issued free of all liens, charges and encumbrances and will, when issued and fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of their issue.
