Placing at 12.5 pence per share to raise GBP1,050,000 and Trading Update
Issue of Equity
The Company announces that it has raised GBP1,050,000 before expenses from a
placing of 8,400,000
ordinary shares (the "Placing Shares") at 12.5 pence
per share in the capital of the Company (the "Placing").
The net proceeds of the Placing, amounting to approximately GBP1,010,000, will
be used by the Company to
fund the establishment of subsidiaries in various
international markets including Australia, Thailand and
Southern Europe.
These new companies will, in their designated jurisdictions, market, sell and
install VoltageMaster products which are to be produced in the Group's Thailand
manufacturing facility. The
United Kingdom market will continue to be
supplied from SDC Industries Limited's factory in Scotland. Mr Stephen Coomes,
the owner of SDC Industries Limited is the 27.8 per cent. minority shareholder
in Active Energy.
Christopher Foster, executive director of the Company, is subscribing in the
Placing for 2,000,000 ordinary shares and his participation constitutes a
related party transaction under the AIM Rules.
The Directors, other than Christopher Foster, consider, having consulted with
the Company's nominated adviser, that his subscription in the Placing is fair
and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
Application has been made for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on
AIM. Admission of the Placing Shares is expected to become effective and
dealings are expected to commence in these Shares on AIM on 29 December 2009.
Following the issue of these shares, the Company will have 86,994,398
ordinary
shares in issue and Christopher Foster will hold 7,525,071 ordinary shares,
equivalent to 8.65 per cent. of the then issued share capital of the Company.
Trading Update
The Company also announces that Active Energy is in preliminary discussions with
a UK focused blue chip energy supplier regarding a strategic partnership
relating to the development of new markets for the VoltageMaster product. To the
extent that these discussions are successful a further announcement will be made
by the Company.
