Hardide completes debt fundraising to support
accelerated entry into the aerospace sector
Hardide plc (AIM:HDD), the provider of unique surface engineering technology, is
pleased to announce that, further to its announcement on the 21 August 2007
regarding its accelerated plan to enter the aerospace sector, the Group has
secured its second tranche of funding. This has been secured following an
investment of #500,000 from Mr A. Badenoch. The loan is to take the form of an
assignable company debenture; will have an interest rate of base plus two
percent; attracts no penalty for early repayment; and will be repayable on
demand on a change of control of the Company. The deal also includes the option
for Mr Badenoch to subscribe for #500,000 worth of shares at 12p per share,
exercisable for a period of up to three years from 28 September 2007. The
completion of the second tranche means that the Group now has secured its total
funding requirements of #1,000,000, which it will use to penetrate the aerospace
sector in order to take advantage of significant new market conditions and blue
chip customer opportunities.
