Eurovestech continues to hold loan notes with a nominal value of £12.2 million and approximately 10 per cent. of the issued share capital of ITWP, the holding company of ToLuna Limited (formerly ToLuna plc). ITWP may redeem the remaining loan notes before 30 June 2012 and to the extent such loan notes are not redeemed, they will be converted into shares in ITWP.
