Use of proceeds:

The Company will use the proceeds for two (2) main purposes. The first is to facilitate growth and the second is to reduce indebtedness. In respect of growth, the Company has identified two (2) potential acquisitions in the United States of America. If those potential acquisitions are consummated Derrimon is likely to realise significant synergies from vertical integration of those businesses with its existing business lines. In the event the Company is not able to arrive at a definitive agreement for the acquisition of one or the other of these potential acquisitions, the Company is still reasonably confident of completing a transaction(s) in the same industry within the next six (6) months.
