If it proceeds, the deal will constitute a reverse takeover and will be subject to shareholder approval. As a result, the company's ordinary shares have been suspended from trading on AIM with immediate effect and will remain suspended until an AIM admission document has been published or until the company confirms that the transaction is not going through.
At 1430 BST, the shares were up 1.5% to 95.63p.
