7digital Group plc("7digital" or the "Company")
Result of General Meeting
On 10 March 2017, the Company published its shareholder circular (the "Circular") in connection with the Capital Raising and the Share Capital Reorganisation.
The Capital Raising and the Share Capital Reorganisation were conditional upon, amongst other things, the passing of the Resolutions at the General Meeting.
7digital is pleased to announce that at the General Meeting held earlier today, all of the Resolutions were duly passed on a show of hands.
The Capital Raising and the Share Capital Reorganisation remain conditional upon Admission.
Pursuant to Resolution 2, each existing ordinary share of 10 pence each in the capital of the Company will be sub-divided into:
a) one new ordinary share of one penny each in the capital of the Company ("New Ordinary Share"), such shares having the same rights, being subject to the same restrictions and ranking on the same basis (save as to nominal value) as the existing ordinary shares of 10 pence each as set out in the Company's Articles; and
b) one new deferred share of 9 pence each in the capital of the Company, and the deferred shares will have the rights and be subject to the restrictions set out in the Articles.
Accordingly it is expected that the Admission of the 159,866,682 New Ordinary Shares (including 44,115,165 New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Capital Raising) will become effective at 8.00 a.m. tomorrow, 29 March 2017. On Admission, there will be 28,336 New Ordinary Shares held in treasury. Therefore, on Admission, the Company's total number of New Ordinary Shares with voting rights is 159,838,346.
The above figure of 159,838,346 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 Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings given to them in the Circular.
