Looks like a very old article. What’s the relevance ?
Robert Johan Henri Bonnier
Telecoms services provider
Age 29; valued at £11m
If you have ever used the freephone service Scoot to find a telephone number, rather than paying directory inquiries, you have indirectly contributed to the wealth of Robert Johan Henri Bonnier.
The Dutch-born British resident is chief executive of Freepages, the company which owns Scoot. It was valued at £200m by the Alternative Investment Market two years ago, making Bonnier - the man with the vision and, most importantly, the shares - worth at least £10m. He has eight other directorships related to the Freepages group.
Bonnier and his fellow executives stand to make themselves even richer: they are currently negotiating the possibility of swapping share options worth £10.8m which have yet to realise their value for options that are already showing a £2.85m profit.
The existing share options were issued in 1997 'in lieu of high salaries and bonuses that these key individuals could demand' but 'are no longer providing a sufficient incentive'. Bonnier could make as much as £2.5m within the next three years.
It will appeal to his entrepreneurial spirit, which first emerged at 14 when he started dabbling in the Amsterdam stock market. His original stake was a £600 compensation cheque for a botched operation after he broke his fingers playing football. He was immediately hooked: 'I was fascinated by corporate news from an early age. It wasn't the money side - it was what makes a business run and how people build companies,' he says.
School holidays were spent working on the Amsterdam stock exchange; his degree in business administration from Schiller International University was followed by three years in corporate finance at Swiss Bank Corporation in London. In London he met Chris Akers, who went on to become chairman of Leeds United. Akers introduced him to Nigel Robertson, one of a trio of businessmen who had come up with the idea of a freephone directory but needed backers. Bonnier became chief operating officer and has overseen the dramatic growth of the company.

Dutch publisher VNU increased its stake in Scoot's Dutch and French operations to 75 percent in an £8 million deal in December; Bonnier claims that Scoot will be bigger than Yellow Pages.

Acquisition Option
Concurrently HGC has entered into an Acquisition Option with RRNB (the "Acquisition Option"), which may be exercised at any time up to 30 September 2019, subject to certain conditions. If exercised, it would enable HGC to increase its overall holding to at least 51% and up to a maximum of 84.8% of the current equity share capital of Sentiance (on a fully diluted basis with management retaining substantially all of their direct Sentiance shareholding).
In recognition of its key consultancy and relationship management role in these arrangements, the Company has issued RRNB with warrants to subscribe for 1.0 billion HGC shares at price of 2.5 pence per share which is exercisable until 25 September 2019. Should these warrants be exercised in full prior to the expiry date, further warrants will be issued to subscribe for up to an additional 500 million HGC shares at a price of 6.0 pence per share exercisable for a period of 24 months from the date of the issue. The warrants are all freely transferable by RRNB.
The exercise of the Acquisition Option is subject to the following conditions:
1. HGC raising £25.0 million or more to finance the acquisition;
2. Fixed ************** ratio of Sentiance 1:100,000 HGC; and
3. Upon any Sentiance Option exercise the Company making a further equity investment of €15.0m in Sentiance.
When HGC executes this Acquisition Option, such an acquisition of additional shares in Sentiance may constitute a reverse takeover under Rule 57 of the NEX Rules.
RRNB Capital Ltd ("RRNB"), who have participated in the financing of the arrangements to become shareholders in HGC (RRNB is a closed asset vehicle wholly owned by the Islam-Bonnier family, dedicated to arranging and making a small number of ultra-long cross cycle investments). This consideration implies an exchange ratio of 1 Sentiance: 175,000 HGC shares versus a 1:250,000 ratio in the original transaction that completed on 5 November 2018.

Christopher Akers, Founder of SDG said: "HGC's 360 degrees vision is entirely aligned with how SDG thinks to empower the Environment, Social and Government sector on a global basis. Enabling people around the world and from all walks of life to proactively contribute to a positive and progressively improving society. Inclusiveness, authenticity and undeterred determination are some of the basic ingredients that will make SDG stand out from the crowd and deliver something the world has never seen before."
Total number of ordinary shares
Following the issue of the 400,000,000 new Ordinary Shares as consideration for the BDD IPR, the Company will have 3,306,179,537 Ordinary Shares in issue, each share carrying the right to one vote. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company will therefore be 3,306,179,537.
The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for this announcement.

Acquisition of Intellectual Property Rights
Acquisition of all existing and in-development Intellectual Property Rights ("IPR", project "SDG")
HGC is pleased to announce the acquisition of all existing and in-development IPR from BDD a company that was incorporated under the laws of Malta in 2018, for a consideration of £4,000,000 settled through the issue of 400,000,000 ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 1p per share credited as fully paid. Going forward the Company will refer to this as "SDG" or "project SDG".
In 2016, SDG founder Christopher Akers originated the innovative idea to raise at least US$1.0bn through an annual global blockchain raffle initiative. As part of this initiative, around 50% of the raffle proceeds are to be allocated to a dedicated number of high impact human / social and environmental conviction initiatives in close collaboration with various leading charities and good causes. The intention is for the initiative to be supported proactively by multiple leading global brands and admired individuals from all walks of life. Together with the raffle participants various high profile initiatives are expected to be curated and delivered around the world throughout the year. Sentiance, will play an important role in the core and distinct service proposition.
Development and controlled stage delivery process
It is the intention that over the next several months a new dedicated business structure for SDG is established. In this construct, equity shall be made available to the organization and a small number of other stakeholders deemed crucial for the final development and first activation steps of SDG. As a first step the Directors intend to deal with a number of clearly identified and manageable risk factors. This should be achievable in a timely fashion and with a limited amount of resources.
It is the current intention that prior to calendar year end 2019 a final decision is made in conjunction with the SDG stakeholders to activate the first draw during the second half of 2020. Further information will be provided during the Company's regular shareholder updates.
Commenting on today's announcements, Jens Zimmermann Chairman of HGC said; "We have a bold vision that the current digital, proprietary content, human connectivity landscape will change fundamentally in the years to come. Sentiance, will add considerable value to SDG, which in itself has the opportunity to significantly contribute to the creation and delivery of a sustainable global human economy. We look forward to developing SDG into a transformative high quality long-term asset in close conjunction with Chris during the months ahead."

Intervening takeover offer for Sentiance
Should a takeover offer be made and accepted by Sentiance shareholders (thus resulting in a change of control of Sentiance) prior to the exercise of the Acquisition Option, HGC will automatically receive (in lieu of the Acquisition Option), the irrevocable right to subscribe for 40,000 new Sentiance shares at a fixed price per Sentiance share equal to €750 (a total consideration amount of €30,000,000). For illustrative purposes only this would mean that, assuming the current equity structure of Sentiance, HGC would hold economic rights over an aggregate total of 54,333 Sentiance shares which in such a scenario would represent an approximate shareholding of 34.8% on a fully diluted basis.
The upfront premium paid by HGC for the grant of the Acquisition Option is approximately 1.50% of the total Sentiance Option exercise value (assuming paid for through the issuance of an aggregate total of 10.0bn HGC shares (incl. exercise of the Initial Warrants) for a notional value of £80 million and excluding the RRNB right to acquire 300 million shares for nominal value). The cash amount of £1.2 million will be settled in full through the issuance of 150,000,000 ordinary shares in HGC credited as fully paid. In the event of either (i) an intervening takeover offer for Sentiance being accepted and or (ii) HGC exercising the Acquisition Option, RRNB automatically is granted the right to acquire a further 300,000,000 ordinary shares in the Company for a consideration equal to the nominal value of those shares.
Following completion of the share issuances to RRNB and others outlined above, the Islam-Bonnier family, through RRNB, will be the beneficial owner of 430,833,325 ordinary HGC shares representing a holding 9.9% of the total voting rights of HGC.
Total number of ordinary shares
Following the issue of the 875,000,000 new Ordinary Shares as consideration for the 4,000 Sentiance shares and the issue of 150,000,000 new Ordinary Shares as consideration for the grant of the Acquisition Option, HGC will have 4,331,179,537 Ordinary Shares in issue, each share carrying the right to one vote.

The consideration of £7,000,000 will be settled in full through the issue of 875,000,000 ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 0.80 pence credited as fully paid to a number of independent family offices and investors, including RRNB Capital Ltd ("RRNB"), who have participated in the financing of the arrangements to become shareholders in HGC (RRNB is a closed asset vehicle wholly owned by the Islam-Bonnier family, dedicated to arranging and making a small number of ultra-long cross cycle investments). This consideration implies an exchange ratio of 1 Sentiance: 175,000 HGC shares versus a 1:250,000 ratio in the original transaction that completed on 5 November 2018.

Business Update and Retirement of Director
Business update
It is the Directors' opinion that over the coming years a new wave of service
propositions will emerge with the potential to fundamentally change the current
digital landscape (which is controlled by a small number of well-known
technology giants). Enhanced personalisation, individual control of data,
connectivity and engagement are likely to result in the emergence of a much
more inclusive human economy delivering tangible and progressive benefits to
all stakeholders.
There are a number of exciting avenues for the Company to pro-actively pursue
within these rapidly unfolding trends. It is clear that to deliver an optimal
long-term outcome we will need to act decisively and as such the Company's
business status should be changed from a passive investing entity to an
operating model. To effect this directional change and to simultaneously deal
with various other corporate matters, the Company expects to put proposals to
shareholders in the coming weeks. In order to effectively manage operational
sequencing, the Company will activate an executive committee prior to the end
of 1H '19. This will go hand in hand with the anticipated appointment of a
number of additional members to the Board.
Retirement of Director
As part of the rapid business evolution, Christopher Fong will step down with
immediate effect from the Board and retire as CEO today.
Commenting on today's announcement, Jens Zimmermann Chairman of HGC said; "We
have a bold vision in that the current digital, proprietary content, human
connectivity landscape will change fundamentally in the years to come. In the
months ahead our plan is to ensure that our Company can play a pivotal role in
these exciting and tangible opportunities. We enjoyed our short yet fruitful
relationship with Chris and wish him all the best with his future professional
endeavors."
The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for this announcement.
