THE WEATHER LOTTERY PLC
("TWL" or the "Company")
Acquisition of Soccerdome Limited and Changes to Total Voting
Rights
Further to the announcement of 18 April 2011 (the "Previous
Announcement"), the Board of TWL is pleased to announce that it has
completed the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of
Soccerdome Limited ("Soccerdome"). Soccerdome owns and runs a
five-a-side football facility in Nottingham. The key terms of the
Soccerdome acquisition remain as stated in the Previous
Announcement, other than as described below.
Reginald Brearley has entered into an agreement to transfer
55,000,000 ordinary 0.1p shares ("Ordinary Shares") of the
75,000,000 Ordinary Shares (the "Consideration Shares") he will
receive as consideration to four parties (the "Recipients") prior
to the Consideration Shares being admitted to trading on AIM
("Admission"). The Recipients include two current employees of
Soccerdome and a consultant to the business. The remaining
Recipient is the Petwood Hotel Limited Discretionary Trust; neither
Mr Brearley nor the Recipients have any legal or beneficial
interest in this trust.
Soccerdome has an outstanding GBP40,000 term loan with Barclays
Bank. This was previously intended to be repaid prior to the
acquisition by TWL. However to avoid the cost of early repayment
penalties, this loan will remain within Soccerdome. In
consideration of this loan continuing, Mr Brearley has agreed to
meet the cost of converting four of the eight pitches to "rubber
crumb surface" all weather pitches, in order to increase the
potential availability of the facilities. The "rubber crumb
surfaces" are due to be laid during the third quarter of 2011. Mr
Brearley will no longer enter into a consultancy agreement
described in the Previous Announcement.
The Company has also allotted 3,000,000 new Ordinary Shares (the
"Adviser Shares") in the Company at 0.5p per share, to SVS
Securities PLC in lieu of fees relating to the acquisition.
Following the issue of the Consideration Shares and the Adviser
Shares, certain of the vendors will become significant shareholders
in the Company. The following table sets out details of the new
significant shareholders:

----------------------- --------------------------- ------------------------
Petwood Hotel Limited
Discretionary Trust 30,000,000 7.89%
----------------------- --------------------------- ------------------------
An application will be made for the Consideration Shares and the
Adviser Shares, both of which rank pari passu with the Company's
existing issued Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM
and it is expected that dealings will commence on 16 June 2011.
Following the issue of the Consideration Shares and the Adviser
Shares, the Company's issued share capital will consist of
380,404,738 Ordinary Shares, with each Ordinary Share carrying the
right to one vote. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in
Treasury.
The above figure of 380,404,738 Ordinary Shares may be used by
shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations
by which they will determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of
the Company under the Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and
Transparency Rules.
