10. Equity Swap Agreement
On 12 December 2013, the Company and YAGM entered into an equity swap
agreement calculated by reference to 411,899,316 of the Subscription Shares
(the "Swap Shares"). In return for a payment by the Company to YAGM of
£500,000 (the "Swap Payment"), twelve monthly settlement payments in respect
of such payment will be made by YAGM to the Company, or payments may be made
by the Company to YAGM , based on a formula related to the difference between
the prevailing market price (as defined in the Equity Swap Agreement) of
Ordinary Shares in any month and a 'benchmark price' that is 10% above the a
price per share equal to 95% of the closing price of the trading day preceding
the execution of the Subscription Agreement. Thus the monthly payments
received by the Company in respect of the Swap Payment will be dependent on
the future price performance of the Ordinary Shares.
YAGM and company may mutually agree to terminate the Equity Swap Agreement and
accelerate the payments due under it in certain circumstances. YAGM may elect
to terminate the Equity Swap Agreement and accelerate the payments due under
it in certain circumstances.
