Inland Homes plc ("Inland Homes" or the "Company")

 

Launch of Direct Subscription for up to £4.6 million

 

Update on Potential Related Party Transactions and Termination of Strategic
Review

 

Inland Homes plc (AIM: INL), the leading brownfield developer, housebuilder
and partnership housing company with a focus on the South and South East of
England, is pleased to announce that it has today launched a direct
subscription offer (the "Subscription") for up to £4.6 million by the issue
of up to 46,000,000 new Ordinary Shares ("Subscription Shares") at a price per
Subscription Share of 10 pence (the "Subscription Price"), being the nominal
value of the Company's ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares"). The net proceeds
of the Subscription will be used to fund working capital requirements within
the Company.

 

The Company also updates on the commissioning of an independent report in
relation to potential related party transactions and the strategic review
announced last year.

 

The Subscription

 

Inland Homes has been notified by Stephen Wicks, a founder of the Company,
former CEO and the Company's major shareholder, that he would like to
participate in the Subscription for a total of £2.5 million.

 

The Subscription is now open for applications until 2:30pm (UK time) on 30
March 2023, following which a further announcement will be made. Orders can be
made by contacting Panmure Gordon (details below), who will liaise with the
Company as required. The Company has complete discretion on whether to accept
offers under the Subscription. Completion of the Subscription is conditional,
inter alia, on admission of the Subscription Shares to  AIM.

 

The Subscription Price represents a premium of 100 per cent. to the closing
price of the Ordinary Shares on 29 March 2023 of 5 pence per share.

 

The Subscription Shares, when issued and fully paid, will rank pari passu in
all respects with each other and with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Subscription
Shares to be admitted to AIM. Admission of the Subscription Shares is expected
to become effective and dealings in such shares are expected to commence at
8.00 a.m. on 31 March 2023. The Subscription Shares will be issued under the
authorities granted to the Company at its Annual General Meeting held on 21
March 2022.

 

Related Party Transactions Update and Strategic Review

 

Further to its announcement on 23 March 2023, the Company is in advanced
discussions with a view to commissioning an independent report from a
professional services firm for the purpose of reviewing certain related party
issues (which may or may not fall to be treated as related party transactions
under the AIM Rules). The completion of such a report is a pre-condition to
the finalisation of the Company's audit process which is estimated will take a
number of weeks.

 

In the meantime, as the Company will not be in a position to publish its
audited results before the 31 March 2023 deadline stipulated in the AIM Rules,
trading in the Company's shares will be suspended at 7.30 a.m. on 3 April
2023. The Company intends to request a restoration of trading in its shares on
publication of its FY22 audited results.

 

On 6 September 2022 the Company announced that it had appointed Lazard &
Co., Limited to assist with a strategic review of the business. This process
has now come to a conclusion, in relation to which Lazard has terminated its
engagement.

 

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of
Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 which forms part of UK law by virtue of the
European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("MAR").

 

The person responsible for arranging the release of this announcement on
behalf of the Company is Nishith Malde, Finance Director of the Company.
