MediaZest Plc
("MediaZest", the "Company" or "Group"; AIM: MDZ)
Proposed £438,000 Placing
MediaZest, the creative digital out-of-home media and innovative marketing
solutions company, is pleased to announce that it has conditionally raised £
438,000 (before expenses) through a placing of 125,142,900 new Ordinary Shares
with existing and new institutional investors arranged by Hybridan LLP at a
price of 0.35p per Ordinary Share. The Placing Price represents an approximate
5 per cent. discount to the closing mid-market price of 0.37p per Ordinary
Share on 16 December 2014 (being the Business Day before the announcement of
the proposed Placing).
The Placing Shares will represent approximately 12 per cent. of the Enlarged
Share Capital.
Interim results
The Company will release its interim results for the period ended 30 September
2014 by the end of the year. Turnover and loss after taxation are expected to
be similar to the prior comparable period.
Conditionality and Admission to AIM
The Placing is conditional, inter alia, on the Company obtaining approval from
Shareholders to grant the Directors the authority to allot the Placing Shares
and to dis-apply pre-emption rights, and on admission of the Placing Shares to
trading on AIM.
A circular convening a General Meeting to be held at 11.00 a.m. on 8 January
2015 will be sent to Shareholders on or before 22nd December. Application will
be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares to be admitted to
trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become
effective at 8.00 a.m. on 9 January 2015.
Lance O'Neill, MediaZest Chairman, commented:
"The Company is very pleased at the support it has received from both new and
existing shareholders which is testament to the progress that MediaZest has
made. The recent launch of our own Retail Analytics product has been very well
received, with the first client location already deployed. The funds raised
from the Placing will enable us to further develop this product, and pursue
other opportunities to roll it out with major retailers and also enable us to
build upon recent new business gains. The Retail Analytics product and our
strategy of focussing on high profile clients is already enabling us to
supplement existing recurring revenues."
