The Notes are repayable on 20 June 2009 and bear interest at 8% per annum, payable in cash or the Company's common shares of US$0.0001 each ("Common Shares"). In most circumstances, the Notes are convertible after 90 days following 30 September 2008 at the option of the holders into Common Shares, at US$0.194163 per Common Share. This is the same conversion price as the convertible notes issued in June 2008 (see announcement dated 23 June 2008). No warrants will be issued as part of the Fundraising. The maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued under a conversion at the Conversion Price is 5,150,311 Common Shares (the "Conversion Shares"), representing approximately 9.5 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company. The Company's issued shares equal 54,206,383 Common Shares. Any issue of Conversion Shares pursuant to conversion of the Notes is currently subject to the approval by the Company's shareholders. However with effect from 8 a.m. (London time) on 16 October, 2008, the listing of the Company's shares on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange plc will be cancelled and the Company will no longer be required to obtain approval from the Company's shareholders for the issue of the Conversion Shares. The issue of the Notes is not conditional on shareholder approval. The net proceeds of the Fundraising (the "Net Funds") are not sufficient to complete the Phase 3 adaptive design trial for CRO-HIV. The Company expects that the Net Funds to provide the Company with funds into November 2008. The Net Funds, together with existing resources and other funds which the Directors hope to raise through the out-license of certain rights to crofelemer including the indications of CRO-HIV, CRO-IBS, CRO-ID and CRO-PED in the United States and other western territories, in exchange for a licensing fee(s), will be used primarily for working capital purposes and to continue to finance the costs of the CRO-HIV Phase 3 US trial. Such licensing fees may need to be supplemented with further debt or equity issuances in order for Napo to have sufficient funds to complete the CRO-HIV Phase 3 clinical trial.
