Extension of loan terms with Mayne Management Limited

UniVision, the AIM listed Hong Kong based designer and installer of digital surveillance and integrated security syste ms, is pleased to announce that on 11 January 2012 it signed an agreement with the former holding company of Univision Holdings Ltd (a major shareholder in the Group) , Mayne Management L imited ("Mayne"), whereby Mayne has agreed to extend the term of its current loan facility of US$3.97 million with UniVision for a further one year to 31 March 2013 (the "Supplementary Agreement V").
The original loan agreement, announced on 8 January 2008, provided for a repayment date of 30 September 2008. Four supplementary agreements were subsequently entered into by the Group on 22 September 2008, 21 January 2009 , 25 January 2010 and 8 February 2011 which extended the term of the loan to 31 March 2012. The loan was made exclusively to finance a shopping mall project in Zhongshan, China, being developed by the Group's wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary, Leader Smart Engineering (Shanghai) Limited (the "Project").
The terms of the supplementary agreements provide that Mayne will not exercise the right to exchange the total or any part of the loan amount to a convertible bond of the Group during the term of the Supplementary A greement V.
The terms in the event of default remain as in the original agreement and the further supplementary agreement s, namely that Mayne can c all for possession of a maximum
40% interest in the Project or exchange for a convertible bond with a conversion price at
4 pence per ordinary share of UniVision.
The extension of the loan facility with Mayne constitutes a related party transaction for the purposes of rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. The d irectors of the Company, with the exclusion of Stephen Koo (Chairman of UniVision) , consider, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, Allenby Capital Limited, that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned .
Stephen Koo, Chairman of UniVision, commented: " Mayne remain very supportive of our efforts to realise shareholder value in the Zhongshan shopping mall and we are pleased to have been able to conclude this agreement with them. We are actively working on a number of strategies to unlock the value we believe exists in the shopping mall. This extended loan agreement provides a timescale that should ensure we are not time - pressured into entering into a sub -optimal transaction and that the Board of UniVision maximise value for shareholders on any disposal of our interest in the Zhongshan shopping mall."
