('Cinpart' or the 'Company')
Increase in shareholding in Active Energy Limited
Cinpart, the AIM-quoted electrical products manufacturer and supplier, is
pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire a 10 per
cent interest (equivalent to 2,000 ordinary shares following a share
reorganisation) in its wholly owned subsidiary, Active Energy Limited ("Active
Energy"), currently held by Alpha Prospects Plc ("Alpha") for a total
consideration of GBP250,000 (the "Acquisition").
The consideration will be satisfied as to GBP100,000 in cash and the balance by
the issue of 1,125,000 new ordinary shares in Cinpart (the "Consideration
Shares"). In accordance with an orderly market agreement entered into between
the Company, Alpha and John East & Partners Limited ("JEP") Alpha has undertaken
not to dispose of the Consideration Shares for a period of twelve months (save
in certain limited circumstances) without the consent of the Company or JEP
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).
Conditional on completion of the Acquisition, Cinpart has entered into an
agreement to sell 555 ordinary shares, equivalent to 2.78 per cent, in the
capital of Active Energy to Stephen Coomes for a cash consideration of
GBP69,375. Stephen Coomes currently holds 25 per cent. of the issued share
capital of Active Energy and the effect of this transaction will allow Mr Coomes
to maintain his pro-rata shareholding in Active Energy relative to Cinpart's
current shareholding.
Following the Acquisition and sale to Mr Coomes Cinpart will hold 72.23 per
cent. of the issued share capital of Active Energy.
Conditional on completion of the Acquisition, the sales agent agreement entered
into on 5 March 2009 between Active Energy and Alpha will be terminated with
immediate effect.
As Christopher Foster, executive director of the Company, is also a director of
Alpha he has taken no part in the Company's deliberations relating to the
Acquisition.
The Company has applied for the Consideration Shares to be admitted to trading
on AIM. Admission is expected to become effective and dealings are expected to
commence on 18 August 2009.
Following the issue of the Consideration Shares the Company will have
77,292,133 Ordinary Shares in issue.
