Financing Update

LiteBulb (AIM: LBB), the branded product developer, provides the following update further to its announcement of 18 January 2016.

The Board continues to pursue a refinancing of all the Company's existing convertible loan notes ("Loan Notes") and based on its discussions with various parties now believes that this is likely to take the form of a proportion of the liability being converted in to equity and the remaining balance being rolled into a newly constituted loan note. The terms of any conversion and the issue of new loan notes remain subject to negotiation. Shareholders should note that the current liability of the principal of the Loan Notes amounts to GBP6.6 million, which is significantly greater than the current value of the Company's equity.

The Board has identified a need for additional financing amounting to approximately GBP2.0 million and are exploring means of financing this alongside the refinancing of the Loan Notes. The Board currently believes that this financing is most likely to be in the form of new equity.

The Group's cash position remains tight and as announced on 18 January the Board is closely monitoring the Group's funding. The Board remains confident that a suitable financing package which is in the interests of all stakeholders can be arranged and that with the right financial structure the trading prospects of the Company remain encouraging.
