Update on suspension

19 March 2015

Iafyds PLC, formerly V Phase PLC ("Iafyds" or the "Company")

Update on suspension

The Board of Iafyds is pleased to update the market with news of the search for a new investment.

Background

On 9 February 2015, the Directors of Iafyds announced the suspension of trading in the Company's shares in accordance with Rule 15 of the AIM Rules for Companies ("AIM Rules"), following the failure by the Company to complete an acquisition which constitutes a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules, or otherwise implement its investing policy within 12 months of becoming an Investment Company.

Within that announcement, reference was made to the Company having entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") to invest £2.1 million by way of convertible loan into a retail business (the "Target") operating in a clearly defined sub sector of the leisure industry.

Current position

Following the Target losing the opportunity to acquire another business in the leisure industry, which was the principal reason for the Target seeking the investment from the Company, Iafyds is no longer pursuing this prospect.

The board of Iafyds, its advisers and principal shareholder continue to look for suitable investments for the Company. Until such an investment is made the shares of the Company will remain suspended from trading.
