Related Party Transaction
Republic Investment Management Pte Ltd ("Republic") participated in £326,000 of the Convertible Loan and accordingly will be issued a maximum of 407,500,000 new Common Shares at Maturity (in the event that it elects to convert the principal and accrued interest at that time). Republic has a current shareholding in the Company of 16.8% and is therefore categorised as a Substantial Shareholder of the Company pursuant to the AIM Rules for Companies ("AIM Rules"). Accordingly, entering into the Convertible Loan with Republic is classified as a related party transaction pursuant to the AIM Rules.
The Directors of the Company, having consulted with Strand Hanson Limited, the Company's Nominated Adviser, consider that the terms of the Convertible Loan with Republic are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
Additionally, Republic has confirmed that it is a 'sophisticated investor', 'professional investor' or otherwise exempt investor for the purposes of section 708 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ("Corporations Act") and that it's 'voting power' (along with its 'associates') will not increase from 16.8% to above 20%, for the purposes of Part 6.1 of the Corporations Act.
