Conversion of Loan Notes and Related Party Transaction
The Company has elected to convert £200,000 plus accrued interest totaling £3,666 of the unsecured convertible loan notes from two directors of the Company originally announced on the 4 December 2014 and 29 September 2015, into 12,220,000 new ordinary shares (“Conversion Shares”) comprising of 3,220,000 issued to Tony Reeves and 9,000,000 issued to Gerald Bereika. The conversion terms are those set out in the respective agreements.

The repayment of the loan notes in shares to Gerald Bereika is a related party transaction under AIM Rule 13. The Directors, excluding Mr Bereika, having consulted with the company’s Nominated Adviser, Cairn Financial Advisers LLP, consider the terms of the transaction to be fair and reasonable insofar as the Company’s shareholders are concerned.
