Further Information
Rathlin Subscription Agreement
The Company is pleased to announced that it has entered into a
binding subscription agreement with Rathlin (the "Rathlin
Subscription Agreement"), conditional on completion of the Placing,
to make a cash investment of GBP16 million in Rathlin, at a
valuation of GBP2.75 per ordinary share in the capital of Rathlin
("Rathlin Share").
Proposed Equity Swap and Lock In Agreement
The Company has verbally agreed, with certain shareholders of
Rathlin, to complete a swap of their Rathlin Shares for new
Ordinary Shares at the Placing Price (the "Swap Shares") at the
same value at which Reabold is subscribing for new Rathlin Shares
pursuant to the Rathlin Subscription Agreement, up to a maximum
value of GBP7 million (the "Proposed Equity Swap").
Discussions and terms are at an advanced stage and the Company
is targeting finalising the Proposed Equity Swap ahead of a General
Meeting to be convened for 28 October 2019 (further details of
which are set out below), with the intention of concluding the
Proposed Equity Swap, with admission of the Swap Shares to trading
on AIM expected to occur concurrently with the admission of the
Placing Shares, which is anticipated for the 29 October 2019.
The Company requires that as a condition to completing the
Proposed Equity Swap and under the terms of the offer, that the
Swap Shares be subject to a three month lock-up period and a
further three month orderly market agreement.
Further announcements regarding the Proposed Equity Swap,
including the level of uptake by Rathlin shareholders, will be made
as and when appropriate.
Bookbuild
The Placing will be conducted by Stifel on behalf of the Company
in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in Appendix 1
to this announcement. The Bookbuild will open with immediate effect
following this announcement. The Placing Shares, when issued, will
be fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the
existing Ordinary Shares.
It is expected that the Bookbuild will close before 8 a.m. on 9
October 2019. However, the timing of the closing of the Bookbuild
and allocations are at the absolute discretion of Stifel and the
Company. Details of the results of the Placing will be announced as
soon as practicable after the close of the Bookbuild. The Placing
is not being underwritten.
This announcement should be read in its entirety. Investors'
attention is drawn to the detailed terms and conditions of the
Placing described in Appendix 1 and the principal risks and
uncertainties described in Appendix 2 (each of which form part of
this announcement). By choosing to participate in the Placing and
by making an oral and legally binding offer to acquire Placing
Shares, investors will be deemed to have read and understood this
announcement in its entirety (including the Appendices) and to be
making such offer on the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Placing contained here, and to be providing the representations,
warranties and acknowledgements contained in Appendix 1.
General Meeting
In accordance with the Company's articles of association,
shareholder approval is required for the Directors to issue the
Placing Shares. A general meeting is expected to be held at the
offices of Hill Dickinson LLP, The Broadgate Tower, 20 Primrose
Street, London, EC2A 2EW, for the purpose of passing certain
resolutions ("Resolutions"), including to authorise the proposed
Placing (the "General Meeting").
It is currently anticipated that the General Meeting will be
held on or around 28 October 2019. A circular (the "Circular"),
containing a notice convening the General Meeting, is expected to
be despatched to shareholders of the Company ("Shareholders") on or
about 10 October 2019, outlining terms of the Placing, the
Resolutions and recommending all Shareholders to vote in favour of
all the Resolutions. Thereafter, the Circular will be available on
the Company's website at www.reabold.com.
The Placing, is conditional, inter alia, on the Resolutions
being passed by the Shareholders at the General Meeting (or an
adjournment thereof) and, in respect of the Placing, the Placing
Agreement (as defined in Appendix 1 to this announcement) otherwise
becoming unconditional in all respects (save for Admission) and not
having been terminated in accordance with its terms prior to
Admission.

Information to Distributors
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements
contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in
financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and
10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing
MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the
"Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any
liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which
any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the Product Governance
Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing
Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has
determined that the Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end
target market of retail investors and investors who meet the
criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each
as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through
all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target
Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment,
Placees should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may
decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment;
Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital
protection; and an investment in Placing Shares is compatible only
with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital
protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate
financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources
to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target
Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any
contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation
to the Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the
Target Market Assessment, Stifel will only procure investors who
meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible
counterparties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market
Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or
appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a
recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in,
or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to
Placing Shares.

Terms of the Placing
If a person chooses to participate in the Placing by making or
accepting an offer to acquire Placing Shares (each such person
whose participation is accepted by the Bookrunner in accordance
with this appendix being hereinafter referred to as a "Placee" and
together, as the "Placees") it will be deemed to represent and
warrant that it has read and understood this announcement and this
appendix in its entirety and to be making or accepting such offer
on the terms and conditions, and to be providing the
representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and
undertakings, contained in this appendix.
The Placing Shares referred to in this announcement have not
been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act or
under the securities legislation of any state of the United States.
Furthermore, the Placing Shares have not been recommended by any US
federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority, nor
have any of the foregoing authorities passed upon or endorsed the
merits of the Placing or confirmed the accuracy or determined the
adequacy of this announcement. Any representation to the contrary
is a criminal offence in the United States. This appendix is not an
offer of securities for sale in the United States, and the Placing
Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States absent the
registration of the Placing Shares under the US Securities Act, or
an exemption therefrom, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the US Securities Act. There will be
no public offer of the Placing Shares in the United States.
The Placing Shares will not be lodged with or registered by the
Australian Securities and Investments Commission. The relevant
clearances have not been, and will not be obtained from the
Ministry of Finance of Japan and no circular in relation to the
Placing Shares has been or will be lodged with or registered by the
Ministry of Finance of Japan. The relevant clearances have not
been, and will not be, obtained for the South Africa reserve bank
or any other applicable body in the Republic of South Africa in
relation to the placing shares. The placing shares have not been,
nor will they be, registered under or offered in compliance with
the securities laws of any state, province or territory of
Australia, Canada, Japan or the Republic of South Africa.
Accordingly, the placing shares may not (unless an exemption under
the relevant securities laws is applicable) be offered, sold,
resold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in or into or from
Australia, Canada, Japan, the Republic of South Africa, the United
States or any other jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom and
Hong Kong.
This announcement and appendix do not constitute an offer to
sell or issue or a solicitation of an offer to buy or subscribe for
Placing Shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer or
solicitation is or may be unlawful. The distribution of this
announcement and the Placing and issue of the Placing Shares in
certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. No action has been
taken by the Company or the Bookrunner that would permit an
offering of such securities or possession or distribution of this
announcement or any other offering or publicity material relating
to such securities in any jurisdiction where action for that
purposes is required. Persons to whose attention this announcement
has been drawn are required by the Company and the Bookrunner to
inform themselves about and to observe any such restrictions.
The price of securities and the income from them may go down as
well as up and investors may not get back the full amount on
disposal of the securities.
Any indication in this announcement of the price at which
Ordinary Shares have been bought or sold in the past cannot be
relied upon as a guide to future performance. No statement in this
announcement is intended to be a profit forecast and no statement
in this announcement should be interpreted to mean that earnings
per share of the Company for the current or future financial years
would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings
per share of the Company.
The Placing Shares will not be admitted to trading on any stock
exchange other than the AIM Market of the London Stock
Exchange.
Persons (including, without limitation, nominees and trustee)
who have a contractual or other legal obligation to forward a copy
of this announcement should seek appropriate advice before taking
any action.
Each Placee should consult with its own advisers as to legal,
tax, business and related aspects of a purchase of Placing
Shares.
1. The Bookrunner will arrange the Placing as agent for and
on behalf of the Company. Participation will only be available
to persons invited to participate by the Bookrunner. The
Bookrunner will, following consultation with the Company,
determine in their absolute discretion the extent of each
Placee's participation in the Placing, which will not necessarily
be the same for each Placee.
2. The price payable per new Ordinary Share shall be the Placing
Price.
3. A Placee's commitment to subscribe for a fixed number of
Placing Shares will be agreed with and confirmed to it orally
by the Bookrunner and a contract note (a "Contract Note")
will be despatched as soon as possible thereafter. The oral
confirmation to the Placee by the Bookrunner constitutes
an irrevocable, legally binding contractual commitment to
the Bookrunner (as agent for the Company) to subscribe for
the number of Placing Shares allocated to it on the terms
set out in this appendix.
4. Commissions will not be paid to Placees or by Placees in
connection with the Placing.
5. The Bookrunner has the right, inter alia, to terminate the
agreement entered into between the Bookrunner and the Company
in connection with the Placing (the "Placing Agreement")
at any time prior to Admission if, inter alia, (i) there
has been any material breach of the warranties, undertakings
or other obligations on the part of the Company contained
in the Placing Agreement; or (ii) there occurs an event of
force majeure. If the Placing Agreement is terminated prior
to Admission, the Placing will lapse and the rights and obligations
of the Placees hereunder shall cease and determine at such
time and no claim can be made by any Placee in respect thereof.
In such event, all monies (if any) paid by the Placees to
the Bookrunner at such time shall be returned to the Placees
at their sole risk without any obligation on the part of
the Company or the Bookrunner or any of their respective
affiliates to account to the Placees for any interest earned
on such funds. The Placees acknowledge and agree that the
Company and the Bookrunner may, at their sole discretion,
exercise their contractual rights to waive or to extend the
time and/or date for fulfilment of any of the conditions
in the Placing Agreement. Any such extension or waiver will
not affect Placees' commitments.
6. The Bookrunner is acting exclusively for the Company and
no one else in connection with the matters referred to in
this announcement and will not be responsible to anyone other
than the Company for providing the protections afforded to
the clients of the Bookrunner or for providing advice in
relation to the matters described in this announcement. The
Bookrunner shall not have any liability to any Placee nor
shall they owe any Placee fiduciary duties in respect of
any claim they may have under the Placing Agreement (or to
any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or
otherwise) in respect of the exercise of their contractual
rights to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the
satisfaction of any condition in the Placing Agreement or
in respect of termination of the Placing Agreement or in
respect of the Placing generally.
7. Each Placee acknowledges to, and agrees with, the Bookrunner
for itself and as agent for the Company, that except in relation
to the information in this announcement, it has relied on
its own investigation of the business, financial or other
position of the Company in deciding to participate in the
Placing.
8. Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares following
Admission will take place within CREST, subject to certain
exceptions. The Bookrunner reserves the right to require
settlement for and delivery of the Placing Shares to the
Placees in such other means that it deems necessary if delivery
or settlement is not possible within CREST within the timetable
set out in this announcement or would not be consistent with
the regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions of such
Placees.
9. It is expected that settlement of the Placing will occur
on 29 October 2019, on which date each Placee must settle
the full amount owed by it in respect of the Placing Shares
allocated to it. The Bookrunner may (after consultation with
the Company) specify a later settlement date (or dates) at
its absolute discretion. Payment must be made in cleared
funds. The payment instructions for settlement in CREST and
settlement outside of CREST will be notified to each Placee
by the Bookrunner. The trade date of the Placing Shares is
9 October 2019. Interest is chargeable daily on payments
to the extent that value is received after the due date at
the rate per annum of 2 percentage points above the Barclays
Bank plc base rate. If a Placee does not comply with these
obligations, the Bookrunner may sell the Placing Shares allocated
to such Placee (as agent for such Placee) and retain from
the proceeds, for its own account, an amount equal to the
Placing Price plus any interest due. The relevant Placee
will, however, remain liable, inter alia, for any shortfall
below the Placing Price and it may be required to bear any
stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest
or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of its Placing
Shares on its behalf. Time shall be of the essence as regards
the obligations of Placees to settle payment for the Placing
Shares and to comply with their other obligations under this
appendix.
10. If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement
agent of a Placee, the relevant Placee should ensure that
its Contract Note is copied and delivered immediately to
the relevant person within that organisation. Insofar as
Placing Shares are to be registered in the name of a Placee
or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom
the Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for
such person, such Placing Shares will, subject as provided
below, be so registered free from any liability to UK stamp
duty or stamp duty reserve tax. Placees should match the
CREST details as soon as possible or if using a settlement
agent they should instruct their agent to do so. Failure
to do so could result in a CREST Settlement fine.

Placing Shares;
35. acknowledges that any monies of any Placee or any person

APPIX 2 - CERTAIN RISKS
Any investment in the Company is subject to a number of risks.
Accordingly, prospective investors should carefully consider the
risks set out below as well as the other information contained in
this announcement and any other publicly available information
about the Company before making a decision whether to invest in the
Company. The risks described below are not the only risks that the
Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties that the
Directors are not aware of or that the Directors currently believe
are immaterial may also impair the Company's operations. Any of
these risks may have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
In that case, the price of the Ordinary Shares could decline and
investors may lose all or part of their investment. Prospective
investors should consider carefully whether an investment in the
Company is suitable for them in light of the information in this
document and their personal circumstances.
Before making an investment, prospective investors are strongly
advised to consult an investment adviser authorised under FSMA who
specialises in investments of this kind. A prospective investor
should consider carefully whether an investment in the Company is
suitable in the light of his or her personal circumstances, the
financial resources available to him or her and his or her ability
to bear any loss which might result from such investment.
The following factors do not purport to be a complete list or
explanation of all the risks involved in investing in the Company.
In particular, the Company's performance may be affected by changes
in the market and/or economic conditions and in legal, regulatory
and tax requirements.
1. RISKS RELATING TO THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS
1.1. The Company may not be able to develop commercially its
Reserves and its Contingent and Prospective Resources
If the Company is not successful in achieving commercial
production from its assets, or fails to meet its targeted
development and production timelines, the Company's business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects would be
materially adversely affected.
1.2. The Company's operation and success depends on its ability
to explore, appraise, develop and commercially produce oil and gas
Reserves and Resources that are economically recoverable
The Company's long-term commercial success depends on its
ability to explore, appraise, develop and commercially produce oil
and gas Reserves and Resources. Future increases in the Company's
Resources or conversion of any of them into Reserves will depend
not only on its ability to explore, appraise and develop its
existing assets but also on its ability to select and acquire
suitable additional assets.
There are many reasons why the Company may not be able to find
or acquire oil and gas Reserves or Resources or develop them for
commercially viable production. For example, the Company may be
unable to negotiate commercially reasonable terms for its
acquisition, appraisal, development or production activities.
Factors such as adverse weather conditions, natural disasters,
equipment or services shortages, procurement delays or difficulties
arising from the political, environmental and other conditions in
the areas where the Reserves or Resources are located or through
which the Company's products are transported may increase costs and
make it uneconomical to develop potential Reserves or Resources.
There is no assurance that the Company will discover, acquire,
develop or produce commercial quantities of hydrocarbons.
In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to develop its Reserves and Resources for commercial viable
production. Such challenges and the failure to develop its Reserves
and Resources for commercial viable production could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects.
1.3. The Company is an AIM Investment Company and as such does
not have direct control over the underlying oil and gas assets in
which it has an interest
1.4. The proposed agreement with certain shareholders of
Rathlin, to complete a swap of their Rathlin shares for Reabold
shares is still subject to negotiation
The Company has verbally agreed, with certain shareholders of
Rathlin, to complete a swap (the "Rathlin Swap") of their Rathlin
shares for Swap Shares. Discussions and terms are at an advanced
stage and the Company is targeting finalising the swap ahead of the
Reabold General Meeting on 28 October 2019, with the intention of
concluding the swap and completing Admission of the Swap Shares
concurrently with the Admission of the Placing Shares, which is
anticipated for the 29 October 2019. However, there can be no
certainty that an agreement will be entered into on commercially
advantageous terms, or at all.
2. RISKS RELATED TO THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY
2.1. A material decline in oil and gas prices may adversely
affect the Company's results of operations and financial condition,
and prices may not return to levels seen in recent years
Both oil and gas prices can be volatile and subject to
fluctuation in response to relatively minor changes in the supply
of, and demand for, oil and gas, market uncertainty and a variety
of additional factors that are beyond the control of the Company.
Historically and indeed recently, oil and gas prices have
fluctuated widely for many reasons, including global and regional
supply and demand; political, economic and military developments,
and labour unrest, in oil and gas producing regions, particularly
the Middle East; domestic and foreign governmental regulations and
actions; global and regional economic conditions and weather
conditions and natural disasters. It is impossible to predict
accurately future oil and gas price movements. Accordingly, oil and
gas prices may not remain at their current levels. Although the
Company is not yet an active producer of oil and gas, declines in
oil and gas prices may adversely affect market sentiment and as a
consequence the market price of the Ordinary Shares and furthermore
affect the Company's cash flow, liquidity and profitability, and
limit the amount of oil and gas that the Company could potentially
market in the future.
Although oil and gas prices have fallen significantly since
mid-2014, they may not return to levels previously seen within any
foreseeable timeframe.
The Company can give no assurance that future prices for oil and
gas will be sufficient to generate an economic return. Any further
decline in such prices could result in reduced cash flows from the
Company's assets and a reduction in the valuation of the Company's
assets, which in turn may result in a reduction in the debt
available to the Company. This would have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial condition, business, prospects and
results of operations.
2.2. Estimation of Reserves, Resources and production profiles
is not exact
The estimation of oil and gas Reserves, and their anticipated
production profiles, involves subjective judgements and
determinations based on a number of variable factors and
assumptions, such as expected reservoir characteristics based on
geological, geophysical and engineering assessments, future
production rates based on historical performance and expected
future operating investment activities, future oil and natural gas
prices and quality differentials, production rates, ultimate
reserve recovery, timing and amount of capital expenditures,
marketability of oil and gas, royalty rates, the assumed effects of
regulation by governmental agencies and future operating costs, all
of which may vary materially from actual results. They are not
exact determinations and are inherently uncertain. In addition,
these judgements may change based on new information from
production or drilling activities or changes in economic factors,
as well as from developments such as acquisitions and disposals,
new discoveries and extensions of existing fields and the
application of improved recovery techniques. Published reserve
estimates are also subject to correction for errors in the
application of published rules and guidance.
The Reserves, Resources and production profile data contained in
this document are estimates only and should not be construed as
representing exact quantities. They are based on production data,
prices, costs, ownership, geophysical, geological and engineering
data, and other information assembled by the Company. The estimates
may prove to be incorrect and potential investors should not place
undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this
document concerning the Company's Reserves and Resources or
production levels.
If the assumptions upon which the estimates of the Company's
Reserves, Resources or production profiles have been based prove to
be incorrect, the Company may be unable to recover and produce the
estimated levels or quality of oil and gas set out in this document
and this may have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business.
2.3. The Company operates in a competitive industry
The Company competes for scarce resources with numerous other
participants, including major international oil and gas companies,
in the search for and the acquisition of oil and gas assets, and in
the marketing of oil and gas. The Company's ability to increase
Resources and Reserves will depend not only on its ability to
exploit and develop its present assets but also on its ability to
select and acquire suitable producing assets or prospects for
exploratory or appraisal drilling. A number of the Company's
competitors have substantially greater financial and personnel
resources. Larger and better capitalised competitors may be in a
position to outbid the Company for particular licences and such
competitors may be able to secure rigs for drilling operations
preferentially to the Company. These competitors may also be better
able to withstand sustained periods of unsuccessful drilling or
production. Larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of
any changes in law and regulations more easily than the Company,
which would adversely affect its competitive position. In addition,
many of the Company's competitors have been operating for a much
longer time and have demonstrated the ability to operate through
industry cycles.
The Company's competitors have strong market power as a result
of several factors, including the diversification and reduction of
risk, including geological, price and currency risks; greater
financial strength facilitating major capital expenditures; greater
integration and the exploitation of economies of scale in
technology and organisation; strong technical experience; increased
infrastructure and Reserves and strong brand recognition. Due to
this competitive environment, the Company may be unable to acquire
attractive, suitable assets, licences or prospects on terms that it
considers acceptable. As a result, the Company's revenues may be
adversely affected, thereby materially and adversely affecting its
business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects.
3. RISKS RELATING TO THE ORDINARY SHARES
3.1. Future sales of Ordinary Shares could adversely affect the
market price of the Ordinary Shares
Sales of additional Ordinary Shares into the public market
following the Placing could adversely affect the market price of
the Ordinary Shares if there is insufficient demand for the
Ordinary Shares at the prevailing market price.
3.2. If the Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be
able to proceed with the Placing in the form currently
envisaged
The Placing is conditional, inter alia, on the passing of the
Resolutions. In the event that the Resolutions are not passed, the
Company will not be able to proceed with the Placing, with the
result that the anticipated net proceeds of the Placing will not
become available to fund proposed upcoming expenditure and achieve
the objectives currently pursued by the Board. The Company's
business plan and growth prospects may be adversely affected as a
result.
3.3. The Placing Shares will give rise to dilution for
Shareholders
The Placing Shares will give rise to dilution for Shareholders.
The effect of the Placing will be to reduce the proportionate
ownership and voting interests in the Ordinary Shares of holders of
existing Ordinary Shares. As a result, a Shareholder that does not
participate in the Placing will experience a dilution in its
interest as a result of the Placing.
3.4. The issuance of additional Ordinary Shares in the Company
in connection with future fundraising activities or otherwise may
dilute all other shareholdings and may impact the price of the
Ordinary Shares.
In addition to the Placing necessary to complete development of
the Project, the Company may also seek to raise financing to fund
other growth opportunities, invest in its business, or for general
corporate purposes. Issuing additional equity securities or debt
securities convertible into equity securities may be a more
attractive option for the Company than additional debt financings.
Any additional equity financings, depending on structure, would
likely result in dilution in the percentage ownership of
Shareholders and may involve the use of securities that have
rights, preferences, or privileges senior to the Ordinary Shares
which may adversely affect the price of the Ordinary Shares.
3.5. The Company's securities may not be suitable as an
investment
The Company's Ordinary Shares may not be a suitable investment
for all investors. Before making a final decision, investors are
advised to consult an independent investment adviser authorised
under the FSMA who specialises in advising on the acquisition of
shares and other securities. The value of the Company's securities
and any income received from them can go down as well as up and
investors may get back less than their original investment.
3.6. The Company's Ordinary Shares are traded on AIM rather than
the Official List
The Ordinary Shares are traded on AIM rather than the Official
List. An investment in shares traded on AIM may carry a higher risk
than those listed on the Official List. The market price of the
Ordinary Shares may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to
many factors, including variations in the operating results of the
Company, divergence in financial results from analysts'
expectations, changes in estimates by stock market analysts,
general economic conditions, overall market or sector sentiment,
legislative changes in the Company's sector and other events and
factors outside of the Company's control. Stock markets have from
time to time experienced severe price and volume fluctuations, a
recurrence of which could adversely affect the market price for the
Ordinary Shares. Prospective investors should be aware that the
value of the Ordinary Shares may be volatile and could go down as
well as up, and investors may therefore not recover their original
investment especially as the market in the Ordinary Shares may have
limited liquidity. Admission to AIM should not be taken as implying
that there will be a liquid market for the Ordinary Shares.
3.7. The Company's share price fluctuates
The market price of the Ordinary Shares could be subject to
significant fluctuations due to a change in sentiment in the market
regarding the Ordinary Shares (or securities similar to them). Such
risks depend on the market's perception of the likelihood of
success of the Placing, and/or may occur in response to various
facts and events, including any variations in the Company's
operating results, business developments of the Company and/or its
competitors. Stock markets have, from time to time, experienced
significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the
market prices for securities and which may be unrelated to the
Company's operating performance or prospects. Furthermore, the
Company's operating results and prospects from time to time may be
below the expectations of market analysts and investors. Any of
these events could result in a decline in the market price of the
Ordinary Shares and investors may, therefore, not recover their
original investment.
Any sale of Ordinary Shares could have an adverse effect on the
market price of the Ordinary Shares. Furthermore, it is possible
that the Company may decide to offer additional shares in the
future. An additional offering could also have an adverse effect on
the market price of the Ordinary Shares.
The risks above do not necessarily comprise all those faced by
the Company and are not intended to be presented in any assumed
order of priority. The investment offered in this document may not
be suitable for all of its recipients. Investors are accordingly
advised to consult an investment adviser, who is authorised under
the FSMA if you are resident in the United Kingdom or, if not, from
another appropriate authorised independent financial adviser and
who or which specialises in investments of this kind before making
a decision to apply for Placing Shares.
