Issue of Equity and Equity Drawdown Facility
The board of Eatonfield announces that on 2 June 2010, the Company drew down
GBP222,350 against its previously notified equity drawdown facility ("the
Facility") with Jenard Properties Limited ("Jenard"), to be satisfied by the
issue of 22,235,000 new ordinary shares of 1 penny each ("Ordinary Shares") at a
price of 1 penny per Ordinary Share. The GBP222,350 drawn down under the
Facility will be used for working capital funding.
Following this drawdown, GBP350,000 remains available under the Facility for
draw down at any time until 31 August 2010. As previously notified, the board
anticipates that the remaining funds available, if drawn down in full, will
provide Eatonfield with sufficient working capital through to mid July 2010. The
board continues to seek further equity funding and has confidence that
additional equity funding will be made available to the Group and will provide
an update at the appropriate time.
Application will be made for the admission of the 22,235,000 new Ordinary Shares
referred to above to trading on AIM. It is expected that admission will become
effective and that dealings will commence in the new Ordinary Shares on 9 June
2010.
On admission of the 22,235,000 new Ordinary Shares referred to above, the
Company will have 322,234,775 Ordinary Shares in issue with voting rights and
Jenard's notifiable interest will be in 90,000,000 Ordinary Shares, representing
27.93% of the Company's enlarged issued share capital.
