Introduction

On 24 October 2013, the Company announced that it had entered into a conditional agreement with Noah Ventures to sell the entire issued share capital of Teliti Datacentres for an aggregate cash consideration of RM15,000,001 (approx GBP2.9 million) to be received in three tranches. Noah Ventures will also take on the responsibility for the RM250.465,451 of debt currently owed by Teliti Datacentres.

The Sale requires the approval of Shareholders under Rule 15 of the AIM Rules. A notice convening a general meeting to consider the Resolution is set out at the end of the Circular.

Teliti was admitted to AIM in November 2011 with the intention of growing the datacentre business. Whilst the Company's two subsidiaries, Teliti Solutions and Teliti Services, remain profitable, following the sale of Teliti Datacentres, the Directors believe that no advantage will accrue from continuing the AIM admission. In addition, the Directors wish to reduce the administrative work and costs associated with maintaining the listing on AIM. As the Company's Ordinary Shares were suspended from trading in June 2013, and given that the Directors have decided to discontinue their discussions with new non-executive directors, the Ordinary Shares will remain suspended. As a result, the Company's AIM admission will be cancelled on 23 December under AIM Rule 41.

The purpose of the Circular is to provide Shareholders with a summary of the principal terms of the Sale, the cancellation of Admission, and the reasons why the Directors consider that the Sale is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and to convene the General Meeting.

Background to and reasons for the Sale

At the time of the Company's admission to trading on AIM on 3 November 2011, its strategy was for Teliti Datacentres, its wholly-owned subsidiary, to complete the construction of a state-of-the-art datacentre in Malaysia. This would enable the Existing Group to offer co-location hosting services and cloud based computing services. The latter would draw on the expertise inherent within its two operating divisions, Teliti Solutions and Teliti Services, which would also continue to grow their own business with departments of the Malaysian Government and other clients.

However, since November 2011, the construction of the datacentre by Teliti Datacentres has been beset by a number of problems. On 30 January 2012, the Company announced that the delivery and receipt of key equipment to the datacentre had been delayed until July 2012; on 19 June 2012 it was announced that due to a delay in payments to the Company's debt provider, the datacentre would not be operational until the first quarter of 2013; then on 21 December 2012 the Company announced that the datacentre would not become fully operational until the fourth quarter of 2013.

The delays to the datacentre led to a significant increase in costs from the interest, which accrued over the elongated construction time. At the same time, the delay to commencing operations has adversely impacted the Existing Group's ability to increase its revenue base. The combined consequence has been to seriously constrain the Existing Group's cash flows.

Since the release of the Company's half yearly results, the Company has continued to look for additional investment and has been in discussions with a number of parties with respect to the Existing Group's funding requirements. These searches and discussions have unfortunately failed to realise any new investment.

As a result, the Directors have agreed to dispose of Teliti Datacentres (and its liabilities of RM250.465,451) to remove the constraints on the Company's cash flows and hence preserve the value of Teliti Solutions and Teliti Services. Noah Ventures, being associated with the main contractor for the construction of the datacentre, will conditionally acquire Teliti Datacentres, together with all its outstanding debt, with a view to completing the construction work of the datacentre. The consideration for the sale of Teliti Datacentres will be RM15,000,001. This will enable the Company to remove the debt burden from the Group and the cash consideration will be used to increase the working capital of the remaining operating businesses, Teliti Services and Teliti Solutions.

It is for this reason that the Company believes the Sale is in Shareholders' best interests as it will remove the debt burden of Teliti Datacentres whilst allowing the Company to concentrate on the profitable and growing subsidiaries of Teliti Services and Teliti Solutions.

The Sale Agreement

Pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the Company has conditionally agreed to sell the entire issued share capital of Teliti Datacentres to Noah Ventures for a total aggregate cash consideration of RM15,000,001payable in three tranches on the First Payment Date, Second Payment Date and Third Payment Date. The Sale Agreement also provides that Teliti Datacentres will repay its outstanding RM28,000,000 debt to Teliti Computers in three tranches on the First Payment Date, Second Payment Date and Third Payment Date. Completion is conditional upon, inter alia, approval by Shareholders of the Sale at the General Meeting, the Noah Ventures' receipt of the Affin Bank Berhad Confirmations and the Company Confirmations.

Assuming the conditions of the Sale Agreement are satisfied, issuance of the Bank Guarantee is expected to follow within one month of the General Meeting.

On completion of the Sale, the RM250,465,451 debt held by Teliti Datacentres shall remain with Teliti Datacentres and the Group shall have no liability or repayment obligations in respect of the same.

A summary of the principal terms of the Sale Agreement are set out in the Circular.

Notes

 
 1.   The pro forma financial information has been prepared 
       in a manner consistent with the accounting policies 
       adopted by Teliti in its last audited financial statements, 
       being for the year ended 30 September 2012. The column 
       '30 September 2013' represents the consolidated net 
       assets of the Group which have been extracted without 
       adjustment from the unaudited financial statements of 
       the Group for the year ended 30 September 2013. 
 2.   This column represents the adjustment to reflect the 
       disposal of the total assets and total liabilities of 
       Teliti Datacentres. These figures have been extracted 
       without adjustment from the unaudited financial statements 
       of that company for the year ended 30 September 2013. 
 3.   This column represents the cash proceeds of RM15 million 
       arising from the sale of Teliti Datacentres, less estimated 
       costs of the transaction of RM0.6 million. 
 

Trading Statement

In the year to 30 September 2013, Teliti Solutions and Teliti Services have a combined turnover of RM55 million (approx GBP11 million) and profits of RM3.7 million (approximately GBP0.75 million); with both subsidiaries also showing a strong increase on 2012 numbers.

Cancellation of AIM Admission

The Company's Depositary Interests are currently suspended from trading on AIM pending the appointment of two non-executives to replace the two who resigned in June 2013. With the Company having now decided that no advantage will accrue, post the Sale, from continuing the AIM admission, no new non-executive directors will be appointed and hence the Depositary Interests will remain suspended. As a result, the AIM admission will be cancelled on 23 December under AIM Rule 41, being 6 months since the Depositary Interests were suspended from trading.

Upon the cancellation of the Company's AIM admission, Daniel Stewart and Company Plc will cease to be nominated adviser to the Company. The Company will no longer be required to comply with the AIM Rules. The Company will no longer be bound (nor able) to announce, via a regulatory information service, material events, administrative changes or material transactions nor to announce interim or final results. The Company will no longer be required to comply with any of the additional specific corporate governance requirements for companies admitted to trading on AIM.

In addition, following the cancellation of the Company's AIM admission, the Company's CREST facility will be cancelled on 9 January 2014 and Shareholders who hold Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form prior to the cancellation of the Company's AIM admission will receive share certificates.

On cancellation of the Company's AIM admission, there will be no market facility for dealing in the Ordinary Shares and no price will be publically quoted. As a result the shareholdings in the Company are likely to be illiquid and Shareholders may find it difficult to realise their investment.

General Meeting

A notice convening the General Meeting, to be held at the offices of Daniel Stewart & Company Plc at Becket House, 36 Old Jewry, London, EC2R 8DD at 9:00 a.m. on 23 December 2013 is set out at the end of the Circular at which an ordinary resolution will be proposed to approve the Sale of the Teliti Datacentre in accordance with the terms of the Sale Agreement.
