TIDMMDCG RNS Number : 5712Z Money Debt & Credit Group Plc 24 September 2009 Money Debt & Credit Group plc (the 'Company') Proposed cancellation of admission to trading on AIM The Company today announces that it is seeking Shareholders' approval for the cancellation of admission to trading on AIM of the Ordinary Shares. Background to and reasons for the proposal to De-list The Company's Ordinary Shares were admitted to trading on AIM on 13 December 2006 with a market capitalisation at the issue price of GBP10 million and a share price of 25.0 pence. The reasons for admission were, inter alia, to raise the profile of the Company, to raise capital to support its growth strategy and to provide a mechanism to incentivise existing and future employees. Since admission the Company has incurred substantial trading losses. At 30 June 2009 the accumulated deficiency on the profit and loss account stood at GBP8.8 million. In part this reflects investment made in developing the Company's infrastructure and resources to facilitate growth in the current year and beyond. However, it also reflects a toughening within our markets. Recognising this, significant investment has been made in developing other products and services to broaden the Company's portfolio of debt solutions. This investment has largely been funded through cash resources made available to the Company by Simon Johnson. At the date of admission of the Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM Simon Johnson entered into a GBP3.1 million loan facility with the Company, which was subsequently increased to GBP4.8 million on 26 October 2007. A further increase was announced on 30 June 2009 taking the aggregate unsecured loan facility Simon Johnson has made available to the Company to GBP5.5 million. The debt solutions sector continues to benefit from favourable macro economic conditions. However, whilst the Directors believe the Company's prospects remain sound, it is not expected it to be profitable in the current year. This has led the Directors to review the Company's cost base in order to maximise the available resources for continued investment in the development of the business. As part of this exercise the Directors have undertaken a review of the benefits of the Ordinary Shares continuing to be traded on AIM, recognising the following key factors: * the costs involved in maintaining the admission to trading on AIM of the Ordinary Shares; * the disproportionate amounts of senior management time consumed by maintaining the admission to trading on AIM of the Ordinary Shares, which could be more appropriately deployed by the Company; * the low liquidity of the Ordinary Shares with only 12 days in the 12 months ended 22 September 2009, being the latest date practical date prior to the date of this announcement, when more than 40,000 Ordinary Shares traded and 178 trading days during which no Ordinary Shares were traded (70% of all trading days); and * admission to trading on AIM of the Ordinary Shares no longer serve a useful function for the Company in terms of its ability to access capital. Following this review the Directors do not consider that the Company can justify any longer the costs associated with it being publically listed and, following careful consideration, have concluded that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to maintain admission to trading on AIM of the Ordinary Shares. The De-Listing In accordance with Rule 41 of the AIM Rules, the Company has notified the London Stock Exchange of the De-Listing which is conditional upon the consent of not less than 75 per cent of votes cast by Shareholders in a general meeting. Consequently, the Company is convening the General Meeting on 21 October 2009. Subject to Shareholder approval the De-Listing is expected to be effective from 7.00 a.m. on 29 October 2009. The Notice of General Meeting is set out on page 7 of the circular being sent to Shareholders today. Recommendation The Board believe that the De-Listing is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting. Circular A circular is being posted to Shareholders today, incorporating the Notice of General Meeting to approve the De-Listing.
