Oak Holdings plc ('Oak' or 'the Company)
Grant of warrant to subscribe for new shares to strategic consultant
Oak Holdings plc, the AIM listed property development and consultancy group, has
today granted to David Taylor Partnerships Limited ('DTP') a warrant to
subscribe for 4,500,000 new ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company.
These are exercisable at a price of 2 pence per share at any time between
receiving a planning consent that can be implemented in respect of the Group's
Yes! Project and 31 December 2007.
DTP, headed by David Taylor, one of the UK's leading development management
consultants engaged in regeneration projects, has been acting for the Company in
connection with the Yes! Project, its major leisure and entertainment scheme in
South Yorkshire. DTP has agreed to invoice only a small proportion of its
normal level of fees and as such the Company has agreed that DTP will invoice a
success fee when Oak receives the planning consent which can be implemented for
the Yes! Project. Such success fee will be wholly satisfied by the issue of the
warrants which will become exercisable upon the grant of such planning consent.
Oak Chief Executive Steve Lewis said: 'In recognition of DTP's significant
contribution to the project and its belief in both the commercial and
regeneration merits of project, the Board considered it appropriate to entitle
DTP to participate in the increase in value which planning consent should create
for all shareholders.'
The planning process is continuing to move forward satisfactorily and the
Company is optimistic about being able to report the outcome of the planning
application in the near future.
