The company expects the subscription period for the additional sum to commence in August/September 2012. This is of course conditional upon completion of the private placement and hence also on the fulfillment of the previously announced conditions for the completion of the private placement.

The company expects to publish the EGM notice on or about June 29, 2012 and the EGM is expected to meet on July 20, 2012.
