Stanelco PLC Acquires Biotec Group; Primed to Deliver a Revolution in Biodegradable Packaging

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 2005--Stanelco Inc. is positioned to launch Starpol 2000(TM), a completely new plasticizer-free thermoplastic material. It is completely biodegradable, possesses excellent gas barrier properties, is thermoformable, and is suitable for both food and produce trays in addition to other food packaging applications. The target price is $1.50 per pound and, in conjunction with Stanelco's revolutionary GREENSEAL(TM) Tray-lidding and thermoforming technology, will for the first time offer a biodegradable price-competitive solution to compete with traditional plastic materials used in the food industry. (JUST AS I SAID WHEN THE RNS CAME OUT !)



Stanelco Inc. is the US subsidiary of the Stanelco Group (LSE:SEO), a company with its roots in using and developing radio frequency (RF) applications. Over the past two years it has been moving into environmentally sustainable packaging solutions. Its latest acquisition, subject to shareholder approval, is for Biotec Holding GMBH and subsidiaries (Biotec), Germany, from E. Khashoggi Industries LLC, California, for a total of $25 million (U.S.) payable over a 24 month period.

Biotec is one of the world's leading exponents of starch technology. It has a considerable intellectual property portfolio, including many patents that extend to uses in packaging, pharmaceutical and edible applications. It also has ranges of products that are ready for commercialization within the food and beverage industries.

Biotec complements Stanelco's RF technology, its water-soluble and biodegradable technology at Adept Polymers and the packaging design and development skills of Aquasol, all subsidiaries of Stanelco, and gives greater access to world markets for the entire Stanelco Group. Stanelco is eager to unlock Biotec's potential in conjunction with leading supermarkets to supply mass-markets.

The starch products from Biotec are currently used by Stanelco in the following projects:

-- Starpol(TM) starch blend films used in Cradlewrap(TM) air bubble packaging

-- Food trays and pellets for food trays

-- Air cushion packaging

-- Edible packaging

-- Film for edible capsules

Natural starch is one of the lowest cost biodegradable, compostable and replenishable materials. Biotec has a unique portfolio of products including thermoplastic starch (TPS(TM)), which enables the use of environmentally responsible material in place of petro-plastics. Stanelco's RF sealing and welding technology can be used to process starch polymers without the degradation or cross-linking caused by other methods such as thermal processing, which can render the material unsuitable for food and pharmaceutical applications.

"This exciting acquisition is the next piece in the jigsaw that will enable Stanelco to become one of the world's leading exponents of economically viable, alternative, environmentally responsible packaging method solutions," said Ian Balchin, CEO of Stanelco. "It has become apparent that with the rise in oil prices, the cost of petroleum-based packaging materials is inevitably increasing faster than alternatives - making them increasingly attractive. The replenishable ingredients of Starpol 2000 ensure a stable price that will, if anything, reduce upon volume uptake. We intend to showcase this breakthrough product with all of our potential customers for GREENSEAL."

"I am also pleased to report that the second trial for GREENSEAL(TM) with Wal-Mart subsidiary ASDA has moved into the retail phase, having passed the stability (shelf-life) test with flying colors. The third and final trial is commencing this week," Balchin said. "As announced this past May 23, Stanelco has taken its first formal commercial order from a dedicated ASDA supplier, and is preparing itself for negotiations for further orders."

Good morning ii.
Blonde and stupid time for me again.
You keep talking about "issue more shares or go into debt".
Never did read that in the RNS. I did read that the further instalments were to be paid in cash, but YOU put the spin on it that it will be a major dilution or a huge debt. You are making the assumption that SEO will not have made profits by then to pay hard cash. You may well be right, but if you are going to attack everyone elses opinion as spin, please don't employ spin yourself. For all you know there are major contracts at advanced stages of negotiations that will easily cover the acquisition costs. SEO may have insisted that the purchase was in cash as they want to keep their own shares value higher and not dilute. These are not likely but can just as easily be inferred from the RNS as your interpretation.
As I keep saying. You pay your money, you takes your choice. I've taken mine, as have many on here. There will be dark days ahead, when you will be able to gloat, but on balance this has the hallmarks of a major player of the future.

Hi All,

Placing DONE AND DUSTED !!!!

I said institutions would be hammering on the door, how quick was that completed !!!!

Application will be made to the UK Listing Authority for the New Ordinary Shares

passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to
receive all dividends and other distributions declared or paid thereon following
admission.

terminated prior to Admission of the New Ordinary Shares, and admission of the
New Ordinary Shares becoming effective by 13 June 2005 or such later date (not
being later than 20 June 2005) as the Company and KBC Peel Hunt may agree.


Ian Balchin, CEO of Stanelco said:

That sounds like excellent news - at least that removes the uncertainty about how the cash is going to be raised. Does that mean though that the share price will languish around the 22p mark until next Monday (question from the novice investor)- when the shares will come onto the market?

Baza

Not much dilution there. The placing price + a margin ( 2p/share?) should set a good floor for going forward. Personally I hope that is the last issue of shares before orders are received. Investors can only 'travel hopefully' for a limited time! I still rate this as one of the best opportunities around at the moment, along with GFM!

Will there be an announcement soon that ASDA will take 'Starpol 2000' .... I think so :)

Cheers,
PM

5% issued at 10% discount = 0.5% dilution - up we go!

sd

Sounds like the entire placement has been snapped up by Institutions, who have been able to jump onboard at only a very small discount to the current SP. The fact that it was filled so quickly is excellent news. Had the placement been at a much lower price, say 18p, today's SP would have tumbled, testament to the potential of SEO that they have been able to achieve a much higher price. Especially, when you take into consideration that we have been at these levels for such a short time.

pth

well that explains yesterday!! without news we will stay around this level for a week or so, give or take. i agree with sharesure and also hope that's the last of the placements.

Full dilution won`t be felt until the 13th June, appropriately enough for the
wary, until then I stick with my short.

This is the 25th RNS this year, averaging 4 a month.
To me, it portriat's a company which is gathering momentum.
Just a another brick in the wall.

Stanelco plc ('Stanelco' or 'the Company')



Howard White appointed Group Managing Director of Stanelco plc



and President of Stanelco's US Operations



Stanelco plc, the radio frequency (RF) applications group is pleased to announce
that it has appointed Howard White as Managing Director of the Company. In
addition Howard has been appointed President of Stanelco's US operations. The
appointments take effect immediately.



Howard White began his career in 1973. From 1982 to 1993, Howard set up a
successful business buying distressed businesses, in ceramics, shoe repair and
printing equipment industries, and orchestrating their turnaround into a
profitable Group of businesses. In 1987, he reversed Taylor Tunnicliff Ltd, one
of the Group companies into a small, fully quoted engineering company, Christy
Hunt plc, and took a 14.5% share. Christy Hunt bought Deritend Stamping plc in a
32million deal. At the enlarged Christy Hunt Group, Howard was responsible for
Group operations, until it was bought out by Triplex Lloyd plc.



Howard joined Stanelco in 1991 as an executive director when it reversed
Stanelco Products Ltd., Merchants Manufactory Estates plc (MMEC) in return for a
40% stake and became an executive director. Howard has also been responsible for
the Chapter 11 reorganisation of Solitron Devices Inc. a NYSE listed company,and
transforming it to profitability.



Ian Balchin, Chief executive of Stanelco plc said:



'We have made this change in the management structure to more accurately reflect
the role that Howard has been fulfilling for Stanelco. Howard in particular has
been instrumental in directing the GREENSEAL(TM) project. We are now geared up
with partners to roll the technology out in the United States as soon as we have
completed the third trial with ASDA dedicated suppliers in the UK.'

wilbs

the placing price of 21.15 must be very good news for all holders...but I always wonder why kind hearted posters put the entire wording of a company release on the board rather than a summary with their own assessment which might be helpful to other holders...after all the full release is readily available on many other sites such as uk-wire.

This sounds good !

'We are now geared up with partners to roll the (Greenseal) technology out in the US as soon as we have completed the third trial with ASDA dedicated suppliers in the UK,' he added

tipton11
Good point If I put the Research Page up it would fill the whole screen, so much news today I can't handle it all.

Hi Tipton - I am sure many would agree with you - but personally I dont as I would have missed this announcement. I use this board as my primary source and prefer to see the full text - perhaps I am lazy or just cant be bothered. But this morning - when there were 2 announcements I had only picked up the first and would have missed the second if wilbs had not posted. I accept that a siummary is nice and PaulMasterton is good at that - but I still like to see the full text for myself
regards
Baza

Putting the release on was very useful on a day like today when the news icon comes up by SEO on Moneyam with the first news release but there's no way of knowing that there's been a second later in the day.
