As informed, the preliminary terms indicated lead investor's willingness to convert its existing preferred convertible notes (“Notes”) issued by GeoSolutions Holdings N.V. (“GHNV”) into the shares of GHNV, leaving the Company as a minority shareholder in the GHNV. The Company has now received the official proposal (“Proposal”) from its lead investor. The Proposal sets the terms and conditions on which the lead investor is willing to commit to further funding for the business. According to the Proposal the lead investor would convert the Notes into the shares of GHNV, receiving over 3/4 ownership of GHNV. The conversion of Notes would be followed by further capitalization of GHNV at low valuation, which would lead into further dilution of Company's ownership in GHNV. The Proposal also indicates that a limited amount of the additional funds made available to GHNV could be used to finance the Company's operating costs through the period until the conversion of the Notes into GHNV shares. Any subsequent additional funding to guarantee sufficient liquidity of the Company in the long term should be received from its shareholders. The Board of the Company has preliminary handled the Proposal and concluded that there are several aspects in the Proposal that require further clarification to conclude if the Proposal guarantees sufficient funding for the Company to satisfy its existing and future liabilities. If that was not the case then, as one of the options, the Board would need to consider filing an application for immediate bankruptcy. The Company is engaged in intensive discussions with the lead investor to get clarity on these points as soon as practically possible. The Company wishes to remind that it currently does not have sufficient working capital to finance its operations after the Q1 2011 unless it gets into agreement on the terms of short-term financing with the lead investor. The Company is also planning to call an Extraordinary General Meeting to decide on the Proposal as soon as it gets further clarity on the open issues relating to the sufficient funding for the Company.
