Update on RenewMe and Suspension
In a regulatory announcement released on 1 April 2016 by the Company, but
drafted by its outgoing nominated adviser Allenby Capital Limited ("Allenby"),
it was stated that the Company had received "a claim" from RenewMe Limited
("RenewMe"). That statement, made by Allenby, was factually incorrect.
As announced on 3 March 2014, PowerHouse and RenewMe entered into a settlement
agreement. That agreement was not completed because the sum of EUR211,000
remains payable under that agreement. The liability and the reasons for it
were specifically noted in note 9 of the Company's audited accounts for the
year ended 31 December 2014 (as announced on 30 June 2015). The Company has
had a number of amicable conversations with RenewMe about settling this
liability. In February 2016 the Company and RenewMe had further, confidential
discussions at which an, in principle, agreement was reached to settle the
liability in new shares in the Company, at a no-cash cost to the Company. It
is these negotiations that Allenby deemed fit to characterize as a claim,
notwithstanding that (a) the liability had been disclosed in the Company's
audited accounts (as announced) (b) the confidential negotiations were ongoing,
amicable, and not finalized and (c) no formal claim has been made and no legal
proceedings having been issued.
The Directors are aware that the announcement made on 1 April 2016 has caused
significant disquiet among shareholders. The Directors remain committed to
finalising terms with RenewMe without the Company incurring a cash cost and to
the appointment of a new Nominated Adviser, which they are actively pursuing.
Shareholders should note that if within one month of the Company's suspension
it has failed to appoint a replacement Nominated Adviser, the admission of the
Company's securities will be cancelled from AIM.
The Company additionally announces that final testing has resumed on the G3-UHt
System in Brisbane, Australia and a further announcement regarding the results
will be forthcoming in the coming weeks.
