AIM - WINNERS

Versarien PLC, up 23% at 0.016 pence, 12-month range 0.013p-0.14p. The Gloucestershire, England-based advanced materials engineering group extends its existing manufacturing licence deal, and know-how licence and technical assistance agreement with Montana Quimica. The agreements cover the use of Versarien's graphene and related material thermoplastic compounds and masterbatches, known as Polygrene, in products to be manufactured and sold by Montana in South America. Under the terms of the deal, Montana will pay Versarien GBP25,000 for the know-how and technical assistance, and when Montana begins manufacturing products under the agreements, a further GBP25,000 payment will be made to Versarien plus 5% of the total sales revenue earned from products using Versarien's intellectual property. This is subject to minimum royalty payments of GBP10,000 a year.

Huddled Group PLC, up 7.0% at 3.43p, 12-month range 2.30p-4.20p. The Nottingham, England-based investor in e-commerce brands has partnered with e-commerce solutions provider THG Ingenuity to "accelerate" its growth plans. THG Ingenuity is the e-commerce platform business spun-off by THG PLC earlier this year. THG Fulfil facilities will be utilised to allow Huddled to take orders up 1am for same-day delivery, which it anticipates will improve its marketing conversion rate as well as customer satisfaction. It expects the migration of stock and fulfilment operations to be completed before the end of the third quarter of 2025, and to be fully operational going into the fourth quarter. Huddled also receives an approach from Shard Capital Partners to invest GBP1.5 million at the current market price of 3.2 pence per share to support the firm's "growth ambitions", it says. Huddled has accepted the funding proposal, and says it will allow the firm to execute its current pipeline of commercial opportunities as well as providing additional working capital. Around GBP1.0 million will be provided by a single institutional investor, with the remaining GBP500,000 being provided by Shard Capital Partners.
