TIDMFCOM RNS Number : 8447R First Communications, Inc. 31 August 2010 First Communications, Inc. Successful Bridge Financing Completed Akron, OH, August 31, 2010 - First Communications, Inc. (AIM: FCOM) (the "Company") today provides the following update on its successful equity raise (the "Equity Raise") to satisfy terms of its recent bank amendment (Amendment No.3) details of which were set out in the Company's final results announcement dated May 6, 2010. Equity Raise On August 31, 2010, the Company announced the fulfillment of an obligation in its existing credit facility (the "Facility") to raise at least an additional $4 million in equity and/or a cash capital contribution by August 31, 2010. Two of its current shareholders, FirstEnergy Corp. and The Gores Group, have provided $2 million each through their acquisition of Series B preferred shares that the Board of Directors of the Company has the authority to issue and price pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware law. The Series B Preferred have a PIK dividend rate of 15% with no cash dividend payments being required. The terms of the Series B Preferred also include the ability for the Company to redeem the shares anytime without penalty. The Series B Preferred Shares are convertible into the Company's common shares at a conversion price of $0.15 being the closing offer price of the Company's common stock on the AIM on August 27, 2010, ("Conversion Price") per common share. The Gores Group has been granted the right to convert its $12 million of currently held Series A Preferred Shares into common shares at the Conversion Price and FirstEnergy has been granted the right to convert its existing subordinated debt of $6 million at this same per share price. These conversions rights, however, cannot be exercised until May 31, 2011 and the Company intends and expects that it will secure additional funding, part of which it will use to redeem the Series B Preferred Shares before they can be converted. Shareholders would suffer extensive dilution should the Company not secure funding to pay down these convertible securities. The Company's current trading is in line with the statements made in its interim results ended June 30, 2010 and continues to meet management's expectations. As FirstEnergy Corp. and The Gores Group are significant shareholders in the Company, the above transactions will fall to be classified as related party transactions. The Independent Directors, excluding those nominated to the Board which represent these shareholders, believe that the terms of the Equity Raise are fair and reasonable, insofar as shareholders are concerned, and given the situation in which the Company finds itself in. In reaching its conclusion, the Independent Directors have also consulted with the Company's major shareholders.
