Proposed Revision to Loan Notes
Byotrol, the specialist anti-microbial technology company,
announces that it has convened a meeting of the holders of the
convertible loan notes (the "Loan Notes"), which were issued to
certain new and existing investors in the Company, as well as
certain Directors of the Company (the "Noteholders"), on 20
December 2013.
The purpose of the meeting, to be held on 30 September 2016, is
to agree an amendment to the terms of the Loan Notes. Specifically,
it is proposed that the Noteholders agree to rollover the maturity
of the Loan Notes, which was originally set at three years, being
the 20 December 2016. Ahead of this date, it is proposed that the
Loan Notes be extended by a further two years, resulting in total
term of the Loan Notes of five years. All other terms remain the
same as summarised below.
The Loan Notes are senior in ranking, unsecured and convertible
at investors' option into ordinary shares in the capital of the
Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 3.7p per Ordinary Share
(the original conversion price was 5.46p per Ordinary Share which
has since automatically rebased per the original terms of the Loan
Notes, pursuant to a dilution adjustment following two fundraisings
completed by the Company). The Loan Notes carry a coupon of 10 per
cent. per annum, payable quarterly in arrears.
As previously notified to the market, the Company will receive a
significant injection of cash in the second half of the current
financial year. The Directors believe, having consulted with a
number of shareholders, that repaying the loan notes is not the
best use of the Company's cash resources at this time.
Based on the issue size of GBP380,000, the Loan Notes would, if
converted, represent approximately 10,173,854 Ordinary Shares,
amounting to 3.79 per cent. of the current issued share capital of
the Company.
The following Directors hold Loan Notes as described below:

The amendment to the terms of the Loan Notes constitutes a
related party transaction for the purposes of the AIM Rules for
Companies. The independent director of the Company, Trevor Francis,
having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, finnCap,
considers the proposed amendment of the terms of the Loan Notes to
be fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are
concerned.
