Fragrant Prosperity Holdings Limited

("FPP" or the "Company")

 

 

 

 

 

Grant of Options and Issue of Convertible loan notes.

 

7 December 2021

 

On 24 May 2021 Fragrant Prosperity Holdings Limited (LSE: FPP) announced the
potential acquisition of CiiTECH Limited and the entry into a letter of Intent
(the "LOI").  Although the exclusivity period in the LOI has expired, the
Company has continued to progress the transaction with CiiTECH and it is now
reaching its closing stages.  The Company has submitted a complete draft of
the prospectus to the FCA containing details of the proposed acquisition of
CiiTECH and is in the advanced stages of seeking FCA approval for that
prospectus.

 

On 13 December 2019, the Company constituted a convertible loan note
instrument to issue unsecured convertible loan notes ("Notes") up to an
aggregate amount of £420,000 (the "Instrument").  On the same date, Mr.
Stanley Hutton Rumbough subscribed for £210,000 of Notes for cash pursuant to
a subscription agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") dated the same date
and was granted an option to subscribe for £110,000 in additional Notes (the
"Option").

The Instrument and the Option were subsequently amended pursuant to a letter
of amendment and restatement dated 5 June 2020 (the "Amendment Letter").  On
the same date Mr Rumbough acquired £100,000 of Notes the pursuant to exercise
of the Option and a new option letter (the "Replacement Option Letter") was
entered into giving rights to Mr Rumbough to subscribe for an additional
£250,000 of Notes.

The Subscription Agreement had given Mr Rumbough certain rights in relation to
the constitution of the board of the Company.

On 28 July 2021 the Company repaid SHR's Loan notes and a disagreement arose
inter alia in respect of this repayment and the issue of additional notes.
 Following negotiations with Mr Rumbough's representatives this dispute has
now been settled and Mr Rumbough has agreed, to give up the rights he had been
granted pursuant to the Subscription Agreement including those relating to
board appointments and has agreed to terminate the Replacement Option
Letter.  In consideration for this the Company has agreed to:

 

1.   Grant Mr Rumbough options ("Settlement Options") over 17,500,000
ordinary shares in the Company exercisable at 2p exercisable for 36 months;
and

2.   Issue convertible loan notes convertible into shares at 2p to the value
of £115,000 to Mr Rumbough as a contribution towards his legal costs
associated with the dispute.  The notes ("New Convertible Loan Notes") carry
interest at the rate of 5% per annum, compounded quarterly and rolled up until
redemption or conversion (in which case the interest is also converted).  The
notes are repayable on the second anniversary of their date of issue (or, if
earlier, on an event of default) if not converted before that date.

 

The Settlement Options and the New Convertible Loan notes were issued on 6
December 2021.
