I am appreciative of this statement of support and their continued association with Premier as a shareholder."

The Company has therefore issued today 431,241,920 new ordinary shares to Regent ("Regent Shares") at an issue price of 0.07092p per Regent Share, the issue price being 90 per cent. of the daily volume weighted average price during the five days trading days immediately prior to the repayment.
