Exercise of Warrant Rights
The company received notices from holders of 371,918 warrants exercising the
subscription and conversion rights attaching to those warrants ahead of the
final exercise date of 29 September 2006. Holders of 321,822 warrants have
elected to subscribe 321,822 ordinary shares of 25p each of the company
("ordinary shares") at the warrant subscription price of 60p per ordinary share
and holders of 50,096 warrants have elected to convert 30,058 9 per cent
cumulative preference shares of £1 each of the company ("preference shares")
into 50,096 ordinary shares at the rate of 0.60 preference share per ordinary
share.
Accordingly the company has allotted 371,918 ordinary shares, subject to
admission of those shares to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and
to trading on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities.
Application for such admission has been made and it is expected that it will
become effective on 9 October 2006 and that dealings in the new ordinary shares
will commence on that date.
Holders of 266,031 warrants have not exercised their subscription and
conversion rights and it is expected that such warrants will be exercised on
their behalf by the company by 30 October 2006. The ordinary shares arising
from such exercise will be placed by the company's brokers and the net proceeds
of sale, after deduction of the cost of subscribing such ordinary shares,
distributed to each holder pro rata (provided that such net proceeds payable to
a holder exceed £3).
The company will request that the admission of the warrants to the Official List
and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities be
cancelled with effect from 1 November 2006.
