Suspension of Shares
The Board of Gemstones of Africa Plc (AIM: GOA), announces that, pursuant to
Rule 15 of the AIM Rules for Companies ("AIM Rules"), the Company's ordinary
shares have been suspended from trading on AIM with effect from 7 a.m. this
morning as the Company has not been able to fully satisfy the requirements of
the AIM Rules that it has substantially implemented its investing strategy by 29
September 2009, this being the anniversary of the Annual General Meeting of the
Company at which shareholders gave consent to the Company's investing strategy.
The board structure has recently been changed and as a consequence of the AIM
requirement to effect a substantial acquisition, the directors are actively
pursuing acquisition opportunities for the Company and will update the market
with any developments accordingly. The Company's investing strategy remains
unchanged.
The directors are confident that a suitable acquisition or investment will be
made before 31 March 2010, the date by which under Rule 41 of the AIM Rules, the
Company is required to complete an acquisition or investment that constitutes a
reverse takeover under the AIM Rules in line with the Company's previously
announced investment strategy.
In the event that such an acquisition is not been made by the Company by 31
March 2010 trading in the Company's shares on AIM will be cancelled.
