Director Loan and Update on Transaction
The Company announces that its Chairman, Mr. Peter Hannen, has agreed to lend to the Company the sum of £75,000 ('the Loan'). The Loan is unsecured and the Company may elect to repay the Loan or part of it at any time. The principal amount of the Loan outstanding from time to time will carry interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum. The Loan is repayable on receipt of one month's notice from the lender.
With the exception of Mr Hannen, who is involved in the transactions as a related party, the directors of MG Capital consider, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, that the terms of the transactions are fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned.
MG Capital's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2008 refers to the Company's role in a US$20 million capital raising for an Australian company involved in telecommunications in China. A 5% fee for this work was expected once approval for the investment was received from the client company's shareholders. However, although the transaction did indeed receive this approval, the investor has defaulted on the investment and as a result this fee has not yet been received. The capital raising process is now again underway, and if a suitable investor is found a fee for this would be payable, however the quantum is dependent on the level of funding which can be achieved, with this amount not yet being determined due to current market conditions.
