Arrangements were concluded in April 2010 with the other vendor of Datadialogs Limited in full and final settlement of his entitlement to contingent consideration.

 

Pursuant to the agreement, Netcall will pay £50,000 cash, and issue 425,530 new ordinary shares of 5 pence each in Netcall ("Shares") at 11.75 pence per Share, being the closing middle market price on 7 September 2010, to the Vendors. These amounts will constitute full and final settlement of Telephonetics' and Netcall's obligations to the Vendors in respect of the contingent consideration.

 

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the new Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Dealings of the new Shares are expected to commence at 8.00 a.m. on 16 September 2010.
