Funding update
The Board of Proventec plc (AIM:PROV, Alternext:ALPTC), a provider of specialist
steam cleaning and coatings technologies, announces that, as disclosed in the
Interim Results announcement on 23 November 2009, it continues to look at ways
of repaying and/or converting the loan notes in issue or otherwise renegotiating
their terms and this remains high on the agenda of the Board. The Company has
loan notes in issue in the total amount of GBP14.6m which are listed on
Alternext. The next interest payment on the loan notes, in the sum of
approximately GBP600,000, is due at the end of June. The Board is actively
negotiating to secure the necessary funding for this payment, as well as
additional funding for the business, and remains confident that it will be able
to reach agreement on the terms of such funding shortly.
A further announcement will be made in due course.

effective cleaning in the healthcare sector. The Company's specialist steam
cleaning technology has been successfully proven in clinical trials with

tooling, which has been designed to be used within hospitals on a daily basis
and enable the user to clean difficult to reach areas including mattresses, bed

contribute to microbial resistance.
