KTS raises £1,600,000 through a placing of new ordinary shares
Knowledge Technology Solutions PLC ('KTS' or the 'Company'), providers of
professional market information services in the finance sector, is pleased to
announce that it has raised £1,600,000 through a placing of 160,000,000 new
ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each at a price of 1 penny per share. Dealings in
the new Ordinary Shares are expected to commence on AIM on 12 December 2006.
These funds are in addition to the £242,571 KTS raised through a recent placing
announced to shareholders on 30 November 2006.
Part of the proceeds of the placings will be used for the continued development
and rollout of solutions addressing the market requirements arising from the
planned introduction of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID)
in 2007.
The funds will also be used towards exploring potential acquisitions, and to
pursue opportunities for MarketTerminal ON-SITE, a new tailored solution which
enables large investment banks to deploy a fully customised data viewing
application based on the Company's proven MarketTerminal display application.
The MarketTerminal ON-SITE solution offers banks far greater control over the
presentation and manipulation of their own data, and also considerable cost
savings by reducing their dependence on large data vendors supplying this
market.
KTS previously announced that it has already made encouraging progress with
MarketTerminal ON-SITE within several banks, including the successful completion
of a 'proof of concept' phase with one global investment bank.
Dr Marc Pinter-Krainer, Chief Executive of KTS PLC, said:
'We have secured the funds that will enable KTS to more rapidly advance our
MiFID and MarketTerminal ON-SITE solutions. These new areas will complement the
income from supplying MarketTerminal, our market data display application, and
are based on the same proprietary technology. We are delighted to welcome new
investors to KTS and would like to thank our existing shareholders for their
continued support.'
