For Release 2nd June 2005
Pentagon Protection plc
US collaboration
Pentagon Protection plc ('Pentagon'), the provider of safety and security
products for commercial architectural and automotive glass, is pleased to
announce that it has entered into a letter of intent regarding an agreement with
Mr Haytham ElZayn, the Chairman of Allegiance Holdings LLC, a leading US
automotive warranty group, to collaborate in the introduction and development of
Pentagon's products in the high potential US market.
To this effect, Mr ElZayn has subscribed for 14,322,349 shares in Pentagon at
3.83p per share, for a total consideration of US$1 million (£548,546).
The key elements of the proposed agreement are as follows:
- A new company, Allegiance Investment Company LLC (AICL), has been
incorporated to act as the vehicle to market Pentagon's commercial
buildings products and services throughout the United States.
- Pentagon and AICL will enter into a licence agreement granting AICL the
exclusive rights to trade within the USA as Pentagon's sole partner in
the area of application of window films and anchoring products for
architectural glass.
- AICL will invest a further US$1million in the development and marketing of
Pentagon's products over the next 18 months.
- Mr ElZayn has been invited to accept an appointment to the main board of
Pentagon.
- Mr ElZayn will be granted options over 18,677,651 ordinary shares in
Pentagon, representing 10 per cent. of Pentagon's enlarged issued share
capital, exercisable at 4.25p per share. These options will only be
granted when AICL achieves turnover of US$1,300,000 within 18 months of
commencement of trading.
As the grant of options referred to above requires approval of Pentagon
shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), Pentagon will shortly
send a circular to shareholders convening the EGM to seek such approval.
Application has today been made for the admission of 14,322,349 new ordinary
shares in Pentagon to trading on AIM and admission is expected to take place on
7 June 2005.
Geoff Russell, Operations Director, Pentagon Protection, commented:
'This is a significant step forward for the development of Pentagon's global
business. The collaboration with Allegiance will permit Pentagon to tender for
larger and more extended contracts and strengthen our position worldwide. It
also opens up new market possibilities with large construction companies and
leading building curtain wall designers.'
