Following Admission, the Company's issued and fully paid share capital will consist of 3,805,617,804 ordinary shares, all of which carry one voting right per share. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares and voting rights in the Company will be 3,805,617,804. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Paul McGlone, CEO of Seeing Machines, commented: "We warmly welcome Toronado as a shareholder, and are delighted that a second high quality US investor has chosen to invest in our Company, underpinning our strategy to broaden the representation of institutions on our register. The capital raised will enable Seeing Machines to develop and collaborate on additional growth opportunities which are incremental to our core plans.
"Following initial interest from the US late last year, we continue to see increasing enthusiasm around driver monitoring technology and, in particular, Seeing Machines' growing market opportunity."
