Offer for Subscription of up to 11,111,111 New Ordinary Shares at a price of 4.5 pence a share together with 1 Warrant for every 1 New Ordinary Share subscribed; Share re-organisation. The  Company is to send today to  shareholders a circular setting out details of certain  Proposals which  are being  put to  shareholders in a General Meeting convened  for 30 June 2010. The following announcement contains extracts from the letter from the Chairman, David Kleeman, contained within the Circular. 1. Introduction The Company announced earlier today that it proposes to raise (i) up to £0.5 million (before expenses) by way of an offer for subscription made to Eligible Shareholders of up to 11,111,111 New Ordinary Shares at the Offer Price (4.5 pence per Offer Share) and (ii) £2.038 million (before expenses) by way of a conditional placing of 45,288,887 New Ordinary Shares at the Placing Price of 4.5 pence per Placing Share. The net proceeds of the Placing and Offer will be used to further develop the Company's strategy, in particular, to accelerate the pace at which it addresses the opportunities arising within Translogik, for marketing, promotion and product development and for working capital purposes. The purpose of the Circular is, amongst other things, to provide Eligible Shareholders with details of the Placing and Offer, to explain the background to and the reasons for the Placing and the Offer, why the Board considers the Placing and Offer will promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole, and why the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting. As the Placing Price is below that of the nominal value of the Company's Existing Ordinary Shares, the Company needs to effect the Share Reorganisation to conduct the Placing and Offer, and further details of that are set out at section 8 below. 2. Background to and reasons for the Placing and Offer At the end of April 2010, the Company held net cash of approximately £0.7 million. The Board is looking to invest in product development, to increase marketing spend and to cover working capital (i.e. general operational and administrative expenditures) to take it through to cash flow breakeven. The Board therefore has decided to raise a minimum of £1.87 million, after expenses, through a placing of New Ordinary Shares with institutional investors. In order to give as many of its Shareholders as possible the opportunity to participate in the financing and to limit the dilutive effect of the Placing, the Board also resolved to make an offer for subscription to Eligible Shareholders. Given that all the Directors and certain of the Company's other major shareholders are participating in the Placing, the Board has made available up to 11,111,111 New Ordinary Shares (with a value of £0.5 million) in the Offer. 3. Details of the Placing The Company has conditionally raised £2.038m before expenses through the proposed issue of the Placing Shares at the Placing Price. The expenses of the Placing are estimated to be approximately £164,000. The Placing Shares will represent approximately 37.40 per cent. of the Enlarged Ordinary Share Capital (assuming no take up in the Offer) and approximately 34.26 per cent. of the Enlarged Ordinary Share Capital (assuming maximum take up under the Offer), and in each case assuming that no options are exercised prior to Admission. The Placing Price is the same as the closing bid price of 4.5 pence per Existing Ordinary Share on 28 May 2010, being the last dealing day prior to the publication of this announcement. Under the Placing, each Placee will receive one Warrant for every Placing Share subscribed in the Placing. Pursuant to the terms of the Placing Agreement, Hybridan as broker to the Company, has conditionally agreed to use reasonable endeavours to procure placees for the Placing Shares at the Placing Price. The Placing Agreement is conditional upon, inter alia, Resolutions 1, 2, 5, and 6 being duly passed at the General Meeting and Admission of the Placing Shares becoming effective on or before 8.00 a.m. on 1 July 2010 (or such later date as the Company and Hybridan may agree, but in any event no later than 14 July 2010). The Placing Agreement contains provisions entitling Hybridan to terminate the Placing Agreement at any time prior to Admission in certain circumstances. If this right is exercised, the Placing will not proceed. The Placing has not been underwritten and is not subject to claw back pursuant to the Offer. The Placing and the Offer are not inter-conditional. The Placing Shares will be issued credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Ordinary Shares in issue at the date of Admission and the Offer Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared on or after the date on which they are issued. It is expected that CREST accounts will be credited on the day of Admission and that share certificates (where applicable) will be despatched within 14 days of Admission. Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence on AIM at 8.00am on 1 July 2010. Details of the Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Placing are set out in section 5 below. 4. Details of the Offer The Company considers it important that where reasonably practicable Shareholders have an opportunity to participate in the fundraising on equivalent terms and conditions to the Placing. Accordingly the Company is proposing to raise up to approximately £0.5 million (before expenses) by way of the Offer. On and subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer, the Company invites Eligible Shareholders to apply for the Offer Shares at the Offer Price. Brewin Dolphin believes that offering all Eligible Shareholders the ability to apply for as many shares as they wish in the Offer (subject to the maximum amount of the Offer and to a minimum application per Shareholder of £450 / 10,000 Offer Shares) allows Shareholders who wish to avoid dilution of their shareholding to achieve this insofar as is practicable in the circumstances. In the event of applications for in excess of 11,111,111 Offer Shares, Brewin Dolphin will decide on the basis for allocation, however if this scenario occurs, preference is likely to be given to smaller Eligible Shareholders. The Offer Price (which is equal to the Placing Price) is the same as the closing bid price of 4.5 pence per Existing Ordinary Share on 28 May 2010, being the last dealing day prior to the publication of this announcement. Principal terms and conditions of the Offer Eligible Shareholders may apply for, on and subject to the terms and conditions set out in Part V of the Circular and in the accompanying Application Form, any whole number of Offer Shares at the Offer Price subject to the minimum subscription set out below. Applications must be for a minimum of £450 (ie 10,000 shares) and thereafter in multiples of 1000 Offer Shares. Applicants may apply for any number of Offer Shares provided that an applicant's shareholding following such issue, when taken alone, or together with the shareholding of those of persons acting in concert (as defined in the City Code) with that applicant, must not exceed 29.99 per cent. of the Enlarged Ordinary Share Capital. The Offer Shares will, when issued and fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the Ordinary Shares in issue at the date of Admission and the Placing Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of their issue. The allotment and issue of the Offer Shares will be made upon and be subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Circular and in the Application Form. Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Offer Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Offer Shares will commence on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on 1 July 2010. Details of the Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Offer are set out in section 5 below. The Offer is subject to Resolutions 1, 3, 5 and 7 being passed at the General Meeting. 5. Warrants Each of the Placees and Subscribers will be issued with one Warrant for every New Ordinary Share subscribed for in, respectively, the Placing or the Offer. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to receive, upon exercise, one Ordinary Share at an exercise price equal to the Placing Price. The Warrant may be exercised at any time from the date 12 months after Admission until 30 June 2014. The Warrants will be issued in registered form and the register of Warrants will be kept by the Company or its appointed agent. Following Admission, warrant certificates, representing the Warrants to be issued to Placees and Subscribers, are expected to be despatched by post, by no later than 8 July 2010, at the relevant Placee's and Subscriber's sole risk. The Warrants will be constituted by the Warrant Instrument. The Warrants will be freely transferrable (in any multiple), independently of the New Ordinary Shares, but will not be admitted to trading on AIM or any other exchange. 6. Directors' Participation in the Placing The table below sets out the Directors' participation in the Placing: Director Holding % of Number Number of Value of Holding of Holding of % of % of of existing of Ordinary Ordinary Ordinary Warrants enlarged enlarged Ordinary share Ordinary Shares Shares Shares immediately share share Shares capital Shares subscribed subscribed immediately after capital* capital** prior to over in the in the after the Placing and the which Placing Placing Placing and Offer Placing options (£) Offer and Offer have been granted D G Kleeman 350,000 0.46 100,000 1,500,000 75,000 1,850,000 1,500,000 1.40 1.53 N L A Smith 320,000 0.42 625,000 200,000 10,000 520,000 200,000 0.39 0.43 H G D 1,174,782 1.55 875,000 1,000,000 50,000 2,174,782 1,000,000 1.64 1.80 Storey-MacIntosh M Segal 700,000 0.92 625,000 400,000 20,000 1,100,000 400,000 0.83 0.91 D M Ford - - - 100,000 5,000 100,000 100,000 0.08 0.08 R J Westhead 5,000 0.01 60,000 100,000 5,000 105,000 100,000 0.08 0.09 *    calculated on an un-diluted basis and on the assumption the Offer is fully subscribed **  calculated on an un-diluted basis and on the assumption that no Shareholders subscribe in the Offer. 7. Related Party Transaction All of the Directors have participated in the Placing, which constitutes a related party transaction under the AIM Rules. As such there are no "independent" directors and Brewin Dolphin as the Nominated Adviser has alone considered this transaction for the purpose of the AIM Rules. Brewin Dolphin has given careful consideration to the proposed terms which have been negotiated with the Placees. The following factors have been taken into account in their consideration: Opportunity for all Shareholders to participate in the Offer for Subscription The Board considers the issue of new equity is the only practicable source of funding for the Company. The Board considered making a completely pre-emptive offer to Shareholders - by way of a rights issue or open offer - to raise funds and to allow all Shareholders to participate equally in the fundraising. However, there is a significant cost associated with producing a UKLA vetted prospectus which would be necessary to follow this route. It is the Board's and Brewin Dolphin's view that the incremental subscription received from the Shareholders (over and above that from the Placees) in a completely pre-emptive offer is unlikely to be significant and to justify the extra cost and effort incurred. Furthermore the Offer has been structured to provide Eligible Shareholders with an opportunity to subscribe at the Placing Price for up to an aggregate of 11,111,111 Offer Shares whilst not giving rise to the need to produce a UK Listing Authority vetted prospectus as the maximum amount that may be raised under the Offer will not exceed the equivalent of €2.5 million. If the Offer is taken up in full it will raise £0.5 million (before expenses). Brewin Dolphin believes that offering all Eligible Shareholders the ability to apply for as many shares as they wish in the Offer (subject to a minimum application of £450 / 10,000 Offer Shares) effectively allows Shareholders who wish to avoid dilution of their shareholding to achieve this. In the event of applications for in excess of 11,111,111 Offer Shares, Brewin Dolphin will decide on the basis for allocation, however if this scenario occurs, preference is likely to be given to smaller Eligible Shareholders. Equivalent Terms to the Placing Additionally the price at which Eligible Shareholders can subscribe is 4.5 pence per Ordinary Share, the same as the Placing Price, and successful application under the Offer also entitles the applicant to receive Offer Warrants, again on the same terms as the Placees. In conclusion, Brewin Dolphin, having taken all these factors into account, believes that the terms of the Placing are fair and reasonable in so far as all Shareholders are concerned. 8. Share Re-organisation The nominal value of the Ordinary Shares is currently 10 pence per share. As a matter of English law, the Company is unable to issue the Placing Shares (or Offer Shares) at a Placing Price (or Offer Price) which is below their nominal value. It is therefore proposed to sub-divide the entire existing share capital, both issued and to be issued, consisting of 75,807,138 Ordinary Shares of 10 pence each, into 75,807,138 Ordinary Shares of 1 pence each and 75,807,138 Deferred Shares of 9 pence each, thus enabling the Company lawfully to implement the Placing and the Offer at the Placing Price. Each Ordinary Share resulting from the Share Re-organisation will have the same rights (including voting and dividend rights and rights on a return of capital) as each Existing Ordinary Share, except that they will have a nominal value of 1 pence each. The Deferred Shares will, as their name suggests, have very limited rights which are deferred to the Ordinary Shares and will effectively carry no value as a result. Accordingly, the holders of the Deferred Shares will not be entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at general meetings of the Company, nor be entitled to receive any dividends or any payment on a return of capital until at least £10,000,000 has been paid on each Ordinary Share. No application will be made for the Deferred Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. The Company will also be given power to arrange for all the Deferred Shares to be transferred to a custodian or to be purchased for nominal consideration only without the prior sanction of the holders of the Deferred Shares. No share certificates for the Deferred Shares will be issued. The Share Re-organisation will be a disqualifying event for the purposes of EMI options granted by the Company. Holders of EMI options will surrender their options and be re-granted EMI options by the Company at an exercise price which is identical to the current EMI options. All other terms of the EMI options will remain unchanged. Unapproved options, including the exercise price, will be unaffected by the Share Re-organisation save that the Ordinary Shares to be issued on the exercise of such options will have a nominal value of 1 pence rather than 10 pence following the Share Re-organisation. No new certificates for the Existing Ordinary Shares will be dispatched if the Share Re-organisation becomes effective. A request will be made to the London Stock Exchange to reflect on AIM the sub-division of the Existing Ordinary Shares into Ordinary Shares of 1 pence each. Each Existing Ordinary Share standing to the credit of a CREST account will be sub-divided into one Ordinary Share of 1 pence each and one Deferred Share at 6.00 p.m. on 30 June 2010. Taxation The sub-division of the Existing Ordinary Shares into New Ordinary Shares and Deferred Shares as part of the Share Re-organisation should be treated as a re-organisation for the purposes of the taxation of chargeable gains. Consequently the Share Re-organisation should not be treated as involving any disposal of the Existing Ordinary Shares, and the New Ordinary Shares and the Deferred Shares should be treated as the same asset as the Existing Ordinary Shares in addition to being treated as acquired at the same time as the Existing Ordinary Shares. After the sub-division, the base cost of the Existing Ordinary Shares must be apportioned between the New Ordinary Shares and the Deferred Shares. It is anticipated that the Deferred Shares will have no market value. The purchase by a custodian of all the Deferred Shares for nominal consideration will result in their disposal for tax purposes. The base cost of the Existing Ordinary Shares that will be attributed to the Deferred Shares on this disposal will be calculated by reference to the market value of the Deferred Shares, which would be nil on the basis that it is anticipated that they will have no value. Accordingly, the base cost of the Existing Ordinary Shares would be attributable in its entirety to the New Ordinary Shares. These statements are intended as a general guide only to current United Kingdom tax legislation and to what is understood to be the current practice of HMRC and may not apply to certain classes of Shareholder. They relate only to Shareholders who are resident and, in the case of individuals, ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom for tax purposes (except where otherwise stated) and who hold their Ordinary Shares beneficially as investments. They do not apply to dealers in securities. Any person who is in any doubt as to his tax position or who is subject to tax in a jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom is strongly recommended to consult his professional tax adviser immediately. 9. Preliminary Results The Company announced its Preliminary Results for the year ended 31 December 2009 earlier today. Shareholders should note that the adoption of the going concern principle in these results has been on the assumption of the Placing proceeding (i.e. the resolutions necessary to effect the Placing being approved by Shareholders in the General Meeting). If these resolutions proposed at the GM are not passed by shareholders the Company may not be able to continue in its current form. 10. Use of Proceeds The Company is seeking to raise up to £2.538 million (before expenses) in order to continue the progress made to date by further developing the Company's strategy, in particular, to accelerate the pace at which it addresses the opportunities arising within Translogik, and for working capital purposes. The Board proposes investing in further product development, developing its sales and marketing approach more quickly, with a view to taking a leading position in the rapidly expanding tyre management solution market. Such products as the tyre inspection probe will benefit from exposure to trade brochures and press coverage, live demonstrations, trade exhibitions and industry events in turn benefitting order volumes from increasing the profile and the Group's newly commercialised technology. The table below sets out the anticipated use of funds from the c£2.5 million (gross) raised in the Placing and Offer (on the assumption that the full potential subscription of £0.5 million is raised in the Offer): * Working capital for expansion                      £1.35 million * Marketing, promotion and product trials         £0.6 million * Product development                                   £0.25 million * New acquisitions                                         £0.3 million 11. Shareholder Approval For the Offer and the Placing to proceed, Shareholder approval is required to: (a) effect the Share Re-organisation; (b) give the Directors the authority to allot the Placing Shares and Placing Warrants and to dis-apply statutory pre-emption rights in respect thereof; and (c) give the Directors the authority to allot the Offer Shares and Offer Warrants and to dis apply statutory pre-emption rights in respect thereof. In order to obtain the necessary Shareholder approvals, a General Meeting of the Company is to be held at which the Resolutions will be proposed. Further information regarding the General Meeting is set out in section 12 below. The Offer is NOT conditional upon the Placing being approved by Shareholders at the General Meeting. In the event that the resolutions necessary to effect the Placing are not approved, and the £2.038 million of Placing Shares conditionally raised is not received by the Company, then depending upon the level of take up in the Offer, the Company may not have sufficient resources to allow it to trade for the next 12 months 12. General Meeting The General Meeting is to be held at the offices of Brewin Dolphin, 12 Smithfield Street, London, EC1A 9BD at 11.00 a.m. on 30 June 2010 . At the General Meeting, the following Resolutions will be proposed: Ordinary resolutions: (1) an ordinary resolution to effect the Share Re-organisation including the creation of the Deferred Shares; (2) an ordinary resolution to authorise the Directors to allot up to 45,288,887 Placing Shares and 45,288,887 Placing Warrants in connection with the Placing; (3) an ordinary resolution to authorise the Directors to allot up to 11,111,111 Offer Shares and 11,111,111 Offer Warrants in connection with the Offer; (4) an ordinary resolution to authorise the Directors to allot relevant securities (as defined in section 551 of the Act) up to an aggregate nominal value of £440,690.45 (44,069,045 New Ordinary Shares) following the Placing and Offer. To the extent that fewer than 11,111,111 New Ordinary Shares are allotted in respect of the Offer, the Directors will only use the section 551 authority sought by Resolution 4 to issue such number of New Ordinary Shares as in aggregate amounts up to one third of the Company's then issued share capital. The authority sought by Resolution 4 will last for a period of 15 months from the date of passing of the Resolution or, if earlier, until the date of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2011. Special resolutions: (5) a special resolution to (i) approve the changes to the Company's Articles required to create the rights attaching to the New Ordinary Shares and the Deferred Shares and (ii) reflect the implementation of certain provisions of the Act on 1 October 2009. An explanation of the latter is set out in section 13 below; (6) a special resolution to empower the Directors to issue the Placing Shares and Placing Warrants for cash on a non pre-emptive basis; (7) a special resolution to empower the Directors to issue the Offer Shares and Offer Warrants for cash on a non pre-emptive basis; (8) a special resolution to empower the Directors to issue new equity securities of up to an aggregate nominal amount of £132,207.13 for cash on a non pre-emptive basis. To the extent that fewer than 11,111,111 New Ordinary Shares are allotted in respect of the Offer, the Directors will only use the authority sought by Resolution 8 to issue such number of New Ordinary Shares as in aggregate represents up to 10 per cent. of the Company's then issued share capital. The authority sought by Resolution 8 will last for a period of 15 months from the date of passing of the Resolution or, if earlier, until the date of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2011. The numbers and values included in the Share Issuance Authorities have been adjusted to take account of the Share Re-organisation described above and the proposed alterations in nominal value of the Ordinary Shares and the implementation of the Placing and Offer. 13. Changes to the Articles to reflect certain provisions of the Act The Company's objects The provisions regulating the operations of the Company are currently set out in the Company's memorandum and articles of association. The Company's memorandum contains, among other things, the objects clause which sets out the scope of the activities the Company is authorised to undertake. This is drafted to give a wide scope. The Act significantly reduces the constitutional significance of a company's memorandum. The Act provides that a memorandum will record only the names of subscribers and the number of shares each subscriber has agreed to take in the company. Under the Act the objects clause and all other provisions which are currently contained in a company's memorandum, for existing companies at 1 October 2009, will be deemed to be contained in a company's articles of association but the company can remove these provisions by special resolution. Further, the Act states that unless a company's articles provide otherwise, a company's objects are unrestricted. This abolishes the need for companies to have objects clauses. For this reason the Company is proposing to remove its objects clause together with all other provisions of its memorandum which, by virtue of the Act, are to be treated as forming part of the Articles as of 1 October 2009. Resolution 5.1 confirms the removal of these provisions for the Company. As the effect of this resolution will be to remove the statement currently in the Company's memorandum of association regarding limited liability, Resolution 5.3 contains an amendment incorporating into the Articles the limited liability of the members. Authorised share capital and unissued shares The Act abolishes the requirement for a company to have an authorised share capital and the amendments included in Resolution 5.2 and 5.4 reflect this. Directors will still be limited as to the number of shares they can at any time allot because allotment authority continues to be required under the Act, save in respect of employee share schemes. 14. Recommendation As set out above, the Company had net cash of c. £0.7 million at the end of April 2010. In the event that Shareholders do not approve the resolutions necessary to effect the Placing and/or the Offer at the General Meeting, it is likely that the proposed investment and expenditure set out in the "Use of Proceeds" section above will not be able to be implemented. Shareholders should be aware that the Preliminary Results issued today have been prepared on the assumption that the Placing and Offer (and implicitly resolutions 1, 2, 5 and 6) have been approved by Shareholders at the GM, and that £ 1.874 million of net Placing proceeds will be received by the Company, following approval at the General Meeting and that the auditors have referred to this assumption in their audit opinion. It is vital therefore for the Company to complete the Placing to be in a position to ensure its continuation. The Directors consider that the Proposals and the Resolutions will promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend and strongly urge Shareholders to vote in favour of the Resolutions at the General Meeting as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings of 2,549,782 Ordinary Shares representing 3.36 per cent. of the Existing Ordinary Shares at the date of this document.
