Gild, Inc. - New equity financing
TMT is pleased to announce that on 8 February 2013, its portfolio company Gild, Inc. ("Gild") completed the initial closing of an equity financing round led by existing shareholder Globespan Capital Partners and a number of other prominent investors.
After the new equity financing is completed, TMT will hold approximately 1.31% of Gild's fully-diluted equity capital.
The transaction implies an approximately 15% uplift in the fair value of TMT's investment in Gild, compared to the latest reported amount as of 30 June 2012.
TMT's original investment in Gild was made on 5 December 2011 when TMT acquired preferred shares representing 3.56% of Gild's fully diluted equity capital at the time for an aggregate net consideration of US$315,250.
Gild's recruiting solutions are aimed at changing the way companies find and engage the talented software developers they need. With rankings and information on the technical skills of over 400,000 developers, combined with social media profiling insights, Gild's objective is to dramatically cut recruiting costs and improve hiring efficiency.
