Corporate update

Further to the announcements made on 29 May 2013, the Board of Sarantel ("Board") has received a letter of demand from Harris Corporation ("Harris"), for the immediate repayment by Sarantel of the secured HSBC loan facility of £2m (plus interest for the current quarter of approximately £17k) which has been fully drawn down by Sarantel. Security for the HSBC loan facility was provided by Harris, in return for which Sarantel Limited, inter alia, granted a debenture in favour of Harris which contains fixed and floating charges over the assets and undertaking of Sarantel Limited, including its intellectual property portfolio.

As a result of this demand, the Board has today filed a notice of intention to appoint an administrator to Sarantel Limited.

A further update will be provided in due course.
