Open Offer of 41,446,089 New Ordinary Shares at 8 pence per New Ordinary Share on the basis of 1 New Ordinary Share for every 4 Existing Ordinary Shares

and Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

   1.     Introduction 

The Company announced on 14 July 2017 that it proposes to raise GBP3.3 million (GBP3.2 million net of expenses) by way of a conditional Open Offer. The Open Offer will be fully underwritten by First Eastern Holdings.

In order to show their support for the ongoing development of the business, certain Directors have irrevocably undertaken to subscribe for in aggregate 699,999 Open Offer Shares.

   2.     Background to and Reasons for the Fundraising 

As highlighted in our 2016 Preliminary results, announced on 30 March 2017, we entered this year finally positioned with a stable platform from which we were able to explore ways of adding shareholder value. Our strategic plan, whilst focused upon ways to add value to the core business, remained both defensively positioned and cash constrained as we awaited the outcome of the Brexit vote last year and, more recently, the unexpected UK and Maltese general elections earlier this month. We have made demonstrable progress in growing EBITDA from our owned marinas, which have been a key contributor to compound growth of 12 per cent. per annum in gross profit since 2013. The Board believes that, as marina revenue streams continue to be re-evaluated following the return of development interest in the sector, the time is right to adopt a more expansive strategy, particularly at Grand Harbour Marina, Malta ("GHM").

Accordingly we are announcing, today, a fund-raising of GBP3.3 million gross (GBP3.2 million net), by way of a fully underwritten open offer to shareholders of 41,446,089 new ordinary shares, at an offer price of 8 pence per share, pro rata to their existing shareholdings. This represents a premium of 33 per cent. to the closing share price on 13 July 2017.

This follows the announcement to the Maltese Stock Exchange on 27 June 2017, by GHM, of regulatory approval for the issuance of a listed bond to raise EUR15 million gross, at a coupon of 4.5 per cent., of which a maximum of EUR11 million will be utilised to redeem the existing listed GHM, 7 per cent. coupon 2017 - 2020 bond (the "Bond Issuance"). It is proposed that the net proceeds of the Bond Issuance will be utilised to harness the development potential of GHM, where we have over a decade's history of consistently improving marina performance, and is a location which we believe has the potential to become a premium destination of choice for super yachts in the Mediterranean.

The Company will conduct a further strategic review of total operating expenses, which, notwithstanding the fact that these are only showing a small increase over 2013 levels in constant currency terms, demand further attention in the context of the post Brexit trading environment. Our target is to achieve additional cost saving benefits by the end of 2017.

These measures are designed to drive liquidity into our existing portfolio of marina projects and development assets and we remain confident that this will ultimately allow us to achieve our core objective of releasing the latent potential evident within the business for the benefit of shareholders.

Current Trading and Prospects

The Company's audited 2016 results, as released on 30 March 2017, demonstrated that the Company has made good progress since 2012 and is now a stronger business with reduced losses and strong underlying revenues. Highlights for the period included:

-- Sales of EUR10.2 million from underlying operating businesses (2015: EUR11.2 million). Excluding the EUR1.7 million revenue impact of the one-off Yas Marina ("Yas") termination fee and the Yas recharged expenses in 2015, revenues grew by 6.4per cent. Under international accounting standards, reported group revenues are EUR7.6 million (2015: EUR9.1 million)

-- The Group's 2015 results included EUR1.7 million of revenues from recharged expenses and the termination fee relating to Yas with an associated EBITDA impact of EUR0.7 million which were not repeated in 2016

-- Total operating expenses before depreciation reduced to EUR5.1 million (2015: EUR5.2 million). At constant exchange rates, operating expenses show a small increase over 2013 levels, some of which is turnover related

-- Before a EUR1.0 million impairment charge in 2016 in relation to Port Louis and excluding the EUR0.7 million benefit of the Yas termination fee from the 2015 results, the loss before tax reduced by EUR0.5 million to EUR0.7 million (2015: EUR1.2 million). After the impairment charge, 2016 loss before tax was EUR1.7 million

   --      Group cash balances of EUR1.3 million at 31 December 2016 (2015: EUR3.0 million) 

-- Net asset value per share 15.4 euro cents (December 2015: 16.5 euro cents) with 165.8 million shares in issue (2015: 165.8 million)

The Company continues to make progress with its strategy and the Board believes that the Company is now well positioned to develop the opportunities that will arise from today's uncertain world and to realise the inherent value in the business.

   4.      Use of Proceeds 

The net proceeds from the Fundraising will be used by the Company for general working capital purposes across the Company and the Group.

The Fundraising will, thus, allow the Company, no longer as a distressed potential seller of assets but as a financially sound and stable business, to optimise value through the execution of its strategic plan to enable the Company to develop and reposition its assets.

   5.      Open Offer 

The Company is proposing to issue 41,446,089 New Ordinary Shares through the Open Offer at an Offer Price of 8 pence per share, raising in aggregate GBP3.3 million (GBP3.2 million net of expenses). The Offer Price of 8 pence represents a premium of 33 per cent. to the Closing Price of 6 pence per Ordinary Share on 13 July 2017 (being the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Open Offer) and a premium of 33 per cent. to the average Closing Price over the 30 days prior to the announcement of the Open Offer of 6 pence per Ordinary Share.

The Open Offer is being made to Qualifying Shareholders on the register on the Record Date. The Open Offer provides Qualifying Shareholders with the option to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares at a price of 8 pence per New Ordinary Share. Each Qualifying Shareholder is entitled to apply for his Open Offer Entitlement of New Ordinary Shares (which is calculated pro rata to his holding of Ordinary Shares in the Company on the Record Date).

First Eastern Holdings is conditionally underwriting the Open Offer in full (other than in respect of the Firm Commitment Shares) by undertaking in the Underwriting Agreement that it will subscribe for any New Ordinary Shares not taken up by Qualifying Shareholders. Accordingly, the Company will issue 41,446,089 New Ordinary Shares to raise gross proceeds of GBP3.3 million.

Any participation in the Open Offer by Shareholders will reduce First Eastern Holdings' underwriting commitment. In order to show their support for the ongoing development of the business, certain Directors have irrevocably undertaken to subscribe for in aggregate 699,999 New Ordinary Shares.

Qualifying Shareholders are not entitled to take up any New Ordinary Shares in excess of their Open Offer Entitlement.

Qualifying Shareholders are invited to apply for New Ordinary Shares under the Open Offer at a price of 8 pence per New Ordinary Share, payable in full on application and free of all expenses, pro rata to their existing shareholdings on the basis of:

1 New Ordinary Share for every 4 Existing Ordinary Shares

held at the Record Date. Open Offer Entitlements of Qualifying Shareholders will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Ordinary Shares. Fractional entitlements which would have otherwise arisen will not be issued.

The Open Offer is subject to the satisfaction, amongst other matters, of the following conditions on or before 2 August 2017 (or such later date being not later than 16 August 2017, as the Company may decide):

   --      the passing of the Resolution; 

-- Admission becoming effective 8.00 a.m. on 2 August 2017 (or such later time or date not being later than 8.00 a.m. on 16 August 2017); and

   --      the Underwriting Agreement becoming unconditional in all respects. 

The New Ordinary Shares will, when issued and fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of Admission.

Settlement and dealings

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that such Admission will become effective and that dealings will commence on 2 August 2017.

Overseas Shareholders

Certain Overseas Shareholders may not be permitted to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Open Offer.

   6.     The Underwriting Agreement 

The Company and First Eastern Holdings entered into the Underwriting Agreement dated 14 July 2017. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, First Eastern Holdings has agreed to subscribe for, or procure the subscription of, the number of Ordinary Shares which are not validly taken up by Shareholders pursuant to the Open Offer. The Company has agreed to pay First Eastern Holdings a commission of such amount as equates to 2 per cent. of the value of the New Ordinary Shares (other than the Firm Commitment Shares) at the Issue Price.

The obligations of First Eastern Holdings under the Underwriting Agreement are conditional upon Admission becoming effective on or before 8.00 a.m. on 2 August 2017 (or such later date and/or time as the Company and First Eastern Holdings may agree, being no later than 8.00 a.m. on 16 August 2017).

The Company has given standard warranties to First Eastern Holdings relating to the Company (the "Warranties") which will be repeated on completion of the Underwriting Agreement. First Eastern Holdings may terminate the Underwriting Agreement at any time prior to Admission if there is a material adverse change in the financial or trading position or prospects of the Group or if any of the Warranties was or becomes materially untrue, inaccurate or misleading when made.

   7.     The Concert Party, The Takeover Code and The Underwriting 

First Eastern Holdings became the largest Shareholder in the Company in August 2011, through its subsidiary company FE Marina Investments, which made an investment of approximately GBP4.2 million for a 25 per cent. stake in the Company by a subscription of Ordinary Shares, coupled with the formation of a joint venture company to assist in the development of the Company's business in Asia Pacific, one of the world's fastest growing marina markets.

In May 2013, FE Marina Investments subscribed for a further 15,381,528 Ordinary Shares and First Eastern Holdings subscribed for 33,066,759 Ordinary Shares pursuant to the 2013 Open Offer.

In June 2014, FE Marina Investments subscribed for 5,999,375 Ordinary Shares and First Eastern Holdings subscribed for 13,856,811 Ordinary Shares in the 2014 Open Offer.

FE Marina Investments and First Eastern Holdings currently own 41,441,807 and 57,107,867 Ordinary Shares being 25.00 per cent. and 34.45 per cent. of the Existing Ordinary Shares respectively, giving them a combined holding of 59.44 per cent. On the basis of the existing ownership structure of First Eastern Holdings and FE Marina Investments, the Panel considers both companies to be under the ultimate control of Mr Victor Chu. Accordingly, since the aggregate shareholdings of First Eastern Holdings and FE Marina Investments exceed 50 per cent. of the Existing Ordinary Shares, each of First Eastern Holdings and FE Marina Investments is entitled to acquire further Ordinary Shares without being required to make a mandatory offer pursuant to the Takeover Code. Therefore, any acquisition of Ordinary Shares by First Eastern Holdings or FE Marina Investments under the Open Offer or pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement will not incur any further obligations on their part to make a mandatory offer pursuant to the Takeover Code. In the event that First Eastern Holdings acquires all of the Open Offer Shares (excluding the Firm Commitment Shares attributable to the Directors) pursuant to their obligations under the Underwriting Agreement the aggregate shareholding of First Eastern Holdings and FE Marina Investments would be 137,998,502 ordinary shares being 66.59 per cent. of the Enlarged Issued Share Capital.

First Eastern Holdings and Mr Victor Chu are important partners for the Company as it seeks to use the knowledge and relationships that First Eastern companies have developed over the last 20 years of operating and investing in China and the Far East. However, First Eastern Holdings is not only important to the growth of the Company's China and Far East activities but, since becoming (through FE Marina Investments) the Company's largest Shareholder in August 2011, it has provided significant strategic assistance and offered financial support when it was approached to assist with the current Fundraising.

The Board believes that the increased investment by First Eastern Holdings is a very clear confirmation of its continued belief in both the opportunities in China and the Far East and also in the prospects for the Company generally.

First Eastern Holdings, FE Marina Investments, Mr Victor Chu, Ms Elizabeth Kan and Mr Clive Whiley are, under the Takeover Code, parties acting in concert with each other.

   8.      Directors' intentions under the Open Offer 

Certain Directors, being Roger Lewis and Clive Whiley, have irrevocably undertaken to make applications to take up their Open Offer Entitlements and will make applications to subscribe in aggregate, for at least 699,999 New Ordinary Shares, as detailed in the table below:

   9.      Extraordinary General Meeting 

An Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company is being convened for 11.00 a.m. on 1 August 2017 to be held at the Company's registered office at Bordage House, Le Bordage, St. Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 1BU.

   10.   Related Party Transactions 

First Eastern Holdings and FE Marina Investments are considered to be related parties of the Company as defined by the AIM Rules, holding 34.45 per cent. and 25.00 per cent. of the voting rights of the Company respectively. The Underwriting Agreement is therefore a related party transaction pursuant to Rule 13 of the AIM Rules.

The Independent Directors, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, finnCap, consider that the terms of the Underwriting Agreement is fair and reasonable insofar as the Shareholders are concerned.

   11.   Recommendation 

The Independent Directors are of the view that the Fundraising is in the best interests of the Company and accordingly recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting as they intend to do in respect of their aggregate holding of 11,643,399 Ordinary Shares being 7.02 per cent. of the Existing Ordinary Shares.
