("PowerHouse", or the "Company")
Placing, Loan Note Conversion and Repayment
PowerHouse announces a placing and the partial conversion of the Hillgrove loan
note, the repayment of the balance of the loan note and the associated
debenture release over the loan note
PowerHouse is pleased to announce that it has completed a fund-raising of GBP2.5
million, through the issue of 312,500,000 new Ordinary Shares of 0.5p per share
("Shares"). The placing was completed at a price of 0.8p per Share. The
proceeds of the fundraising will go largely to repay the loan note not
otherwise converted signed between the Company and Hillgrove in October 2012
(the "Hillgrove Note").
The terms of the Hillgrove Note were such that the Company was accruing 15%
interest against the loan. Hillgrove had extended a total of GBP3,402,155 to the
Company, including accrued interest, and has accepted a GBP2 million cash
pay-out, and conversion of the remaining GBP1,402,155 into newly issued share
capital of the Company at the previously agreed 0.5p conversion price,
amounting to 280,430,920 shares. Hillgrove now holds a total of 300,430,920
shares of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company. Hillgrove has
committed to a 12 month lock-in period for its newly issued shares. Hillgrove
is a related party as defined by the Aim Rules for Companies and accordingly
the Hillgrove Note payout and share conversion is deemed a Related Party
Transaction.
By virtue of the conversion and pay-out, the Company will eliminate the
Hillgrove Note, and the Debenture over the Company's assets, held by Hillgrove,
will be released, pending receipt by Hillgrove of the GBP2m and 280,430,920
Shares.
The fund raising has been managed by Turner Pope Investments who are now
appointed as Joint Brokers with Smaller Company Capital Limited.
Yady Worldwide, S.A. ("Yady") a recent investor in the Company, has contributed
GBP500,000 to this raise. Additionally, Yady has agreed to a 12 month lock-in
period with the Company.
Admission of the new Shares will be made in two tranches. The first tranche
will comprise all of the placing Shares with the exception of those due to
Yady, amounting to 250,000,000 Shares ("First Tranche"). Application for
admission to trading on AIM for the First Tranche will be made and it is
anticipated that this will occur on or around 20 February 2017. These shares
will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing issued Shares.
The second tranche of shares, being the placing Shares to be issued to Yady and
the shares to be issued to Hillgrove pursuant to the conversion, amounting to
342,930,920 ("Second Tranche") are to be admitted to trading on AIM at a later
date pending receipt of consideration by Yady.
A further announcement regarding the elimination of the Hillgrove Note, a
release of the debenture and admission of the Second Tranche is expected in due
course.
Subsequent to the issuance of the First Tranche Shares, the Company will have
893,648,821 ordinary shares in issue.
PowerHouse has no shares in Treasury, therefore this figure may be used by
Shareholders, from Admission, as the denominator for the calculations by which
they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a
change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
The additional funds raised in the placing will contribute to the operating
capital of the Company.
Separately, further to the announcement of 26 January 2017 relating to the
shipping of its G3-UHt Unit from Australia to the UK, the Company has received
notification that the G3-UHt Unit has passed through its first transhipment
port-of-call and is en-route to its next transhipment port prior to its arrival
in the UK in March 2017.
The Board (all of whom are independent in this matter) consider, having
consulted with WH Ireland Limited, that the terms of the Agreement are fair and
reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
Keith Allaun, Executive Chairman of the Company, said:
"This is a significant event and a major turning point in the history of
PowerHouse. The conversion of the Hillgrove Note allows us to move forward
aggressively and provides the potential to unlock the value of the Company.
Powerhouse is building momentum and this is a major milestone"
