Convertible Loans Update, Share Issue
Convertible Loans Update
As announced on 6 November 2014, Minoan has agreed to issue three-year unsecured convertible loan notes up to a maximum amount of £1.5 million with a coupon of 10% per annum.
Having now completed the loan documentation, the Company is pleased to inform shareholders that the previously announced conversion price of 15.5 pence per share will now apply to £650,000 of the above amount with the balance of up to £850,000 being converted at 18.0 pence per share.
As a consequence, the maximum number of shares to be issued during the period ended 6 January 2018 has been reduced from approximately 14.3 million to approximately 12.93 million.
Share Issue
The Company will issue, subject to Admission to trading on AIM, 100,775 new ordinary shares of 1p each ("Ordinary Shares") at 5.5 pence per share in respect of the exercise of Options and a further 101,053 Ordinary Shares at 14.25 pence per share, being the closing share price on 25 November 2014, to settle certain existing liabilities.
Application has been made for the 201,828 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will be effective from 2 December 2014. Following Admission, there will be a total of 175,196,664 Ordinary Shares in issue. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Minoan under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
