2011-11-10 15:10:00 CET 2011-11-10 15:10:02 CET REGULATED INFORMATION GeoSentric Oyj - Company AnnouncementCOMPANY'S DIRECTED SHARE OFFERING HAS BEEN CLOSED AT JUST OVER €1MGEOSENTRIC OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE November 10, 2011 at 16:10 COMPANY'S DIRECTED SHARE OFFERING HAS BEEN CLOSED AT JUST OVER €1M As previously announced, the Company has arranged a directed share offering (“GSOY Offering”) to its largest shareholders in order to participate in the second tranche of the share offering of GeoSolutions Holdings NV (“GHNV”) its previously wholly owned subsidiary (now 24% owned associate company) for the total amount of €1 million. As previously announced, in October 2011, the Company raised a total amount of €1,015,000 in the first and second tranches of the GSOY Offering by issuing a total amount of 2,537,500,000 new shares at €0.0004 per share. In addition the Company received a short-term convertible loan for the amount of €227,500 (“Loan”) from one of its largest shareholders. The Loan must, at the election of the noteholder by the end of November 2011, be either converted into Company shares or special subscription rights on the same terms as the GSOY Offering or may be repaid. The aforementioned funds enabled the Company, on 14 October 2011, to subscribe for all the new GHNV shares offered to it for the amount of €1 million. In addition, as agreed, it has, on November 4, 2011, repaid the €10M Convertible Bond Loan 2008-B with accrued interest by transferring to the lead investor the agreed number of GHNV shares. After subscribing all the shares offered to it in the second tranche of the GHNV share offering and repaying the Convertible Bond Loan 2008-B, the Company's shareholding in GHNV has increased to approximately 24%. The Company has now resolved to issue a further 28,090,000 new shares at €0.0004 per share in a third and final tranche of the GSOY Offering to participants thereby raising €11,236 and making the total amount raised in the GSOY Offering €1,026,236. The Company estimates that the new shares issued in the GSOY Offering will be registered in the trade register by end of November. The Company further intends, as soon as possible, to prepare and publish a formal Prospectus and apply to get the new shares listed and eligible for trading. This process can take several months. The 2,565,590,000 shares issued in the GSOY Offering outlined above represent 73.5% of Company's outstanding shares and votes and 52.2 % of fully diluted shares and votes. The total amount raised in all three tranches was €223,764 short of the Company's targeted amount to be raised in the GSOY Offering of €1.25 million. As the amount raised in the GSOY Offering was short of the targeted amount, the Company is continuing to explore all the options open to it to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity, including another possible directed rights offering, further cost cutting measures where possible, asset sales and other possible sources of external finance. Assuming that the Loan is repaid, the Company's current cash resources are sufficient to finance the business into Q1 2012 and any alternative funding options should therefore be completed by the end of Q1 2012. As announced earlier, the Company will call an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held by the end of December 2011, to decide on proposed reverse split in the ratio of approximately ten to one to improve the marketability and liquidity of the Company's shares. The call will be released as soon as the new shares issued in the GSOY Offering have been registered in the Trade Register.
