The New Equity Funding is expected to be used by the Company and Group to satisfy its ongoing working capital requirements and to improve the Company's overall capitalisation as SYME seeks to deploy an increasing number of IM transactions, including, inter alia, from i) the IM programme with the Italian neo banking group announced by the Company on 29 April 2024; ii) the commitment achieved from an asset manager specialised in digital assets to subscribe the first tranche of on over-all security token issuance as announced by the Company on 5 April 2024; and iii) the Group's first White-Label IM agreement with Banco BPM S.p.A announced by the Company on 3 January 2024.
Alessandro Zamboni, CEO of SYME, said:
"I am excited to see such great interest on our company by Keith, Bayley, Rogers & Co. Limited and its investors. It is the first time that SYME engaged a broker to raise capital and it has demonstrated that, as recorded in 2023, London remains Europe's most active equity market with more capital raised than the other European exchanges for high-growth businesses.
I am sure that our inventory funders and partners will see this capital infusion as a positive step forward for SYME, considering its key role as inventory specialist within the current Inventory Monetisation programmes and future opportunities."
