Disposal of interest in investee company, Moon Active Ltd.

The Company is pleased to announce that it has completed the sale of its entire holding of shares in investee company Moon Active Ltd. ("Moon Active") for cash consideration of US$750,000 (approximately £582,750 at today's exchange rates).

The sale of the Company's interest in Moon Active represents an increase (including exchange rate affects) of approximately 53%  in value since the time of the Company's original investment in July 2016 when it acquired the stake for total GBP consideration of £381,679 and an IRR of 45.6%.

Commenting on the Disposal, CEO Lorne Abony noted, "The sale of the Company's interest in Moon Active is the Company's second cash exit from an investment in 2017, in both cases at significant premiums to the original investment cost of the Company.  The Board believes further investments can be realized during the course of 2017 at significant premiums to the entry purchase price paid by the Company, and may look to approve a special dividend and/or tender offer later in 2017 or Q1 2018."
