HILL STATION PLC (THE "COMPANY") ISSUE OF NEW LOAN STOCK COMPRISING A RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION The Board of Hill Station plc ("Board"), the manufacturer of premium branded and own-label ice creams, today releases the following update. ISSUE OF NEW LOAN STOCK On 17 June 2008, the Board announced that it has agreed terms with Cattles Invoice Finance Limiited for a new invoice discounting facility and that additional support from shareholders in the form of £500,000 of new Loan Stock repayable in 6 months has been agreed subject to contract. The new Loan Stock is necessary following the Company's bankers decision to cap their invoice discounting facility at £1.1m as previously announced on 2 April 2008. Accordingly, the Board today announces that it has raised £500,000 by way of an issue for cash of new six month term convertible loan stock (the "June 2008 Loan Stock") to VCTs administered by Acuity Capital Limited (formerly Electra Quoted Management Limited) ("Acuity") and VCTs advised by Rathbone Investment Management Limited ("Rathbones") (together the "VCTs") . The terms of the June 2008 Loan Stock provide, inter alia, that the Company shall repay the principal amount together with a 200 per cent. redemption premium and accruals of interest at a rate of 18 per cent. per annum up to and including the date six months following the issue of such loan stock. On repayment of the principal amount, the Company shall issue to the VCTs fully paid new ordinary shares in the Company equivalent in value to 200 per cent. of the principal amount (£1 million) at a subscription price to be set by mutual agreement subject to a maximum price per share being the average of the daily quoted price in the month prior to repayment of the principal amount and not less than par value. The issue of such shares would significantly increase the shareholdings of the VCTs in the so enlarged issued share capital of the Company. The VCTs advised by Rathbones and Acuity are currently interested in 315,366,667 ordinary shares and 290,539,031 ordinary shares respectively representing approximately 13.6 per cent. and 12.5 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company. In addition, other clients of Rathbones are interested in 25,737,490 ordinary shares representing approximately 1.1 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company. The June 2008 Loan Stock agreement also provides the VCTs with the right to appoint an additional non-executive director to the Board by notice in writing to the Company. The loan stock will provide the Company with additional working capital to support the business over the peak Summer season. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The VCTs, together with their respective underlying funds are substantial shareholders (as defined in the AIM Rules for Companies) for the purposes of this transaction. The subscription of £250,000 by each of the VCTs is a Related Party Transaction as defined in the AIM Rules. Where a company whose shares are listed on AIM enters into a Related Party Transaction, AIM Rule 13 requires the directors of the Company to consider, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned. Taking into account the Company's need for additional working capital, the Directors consider, having consulted with Dowgate Capital Advisers Limited, the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of the related party transactions with each of the VCTs are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
