Successful Placing Raising £1 million
Legendary Investments PLC (AIM: LEG) is pleased to announce that it has raised GBP 1 million (before expenses), by way of an oversubscribed placing of 333,333,333 ordinary shares of 0.10 pence nominal value each ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 0.3 pence per new Ordinary Share. The shares were placed with a range of institutional and private investors.
Legendary will use the funds to take advantage of new suitable investment opportunities as and when they arise. Having already made investments, some of which have generated returns of several times the initial outlay, Legendary is currently evaluating several opportunities, including in the technology sector.
Funds will also be used to fund the continued development of existing investments as appropriate and increase stakes in existing investments as opportunities to do so arise and where appropriate. Funds will also be utilised for working capital (including the paying down of debt, as appropriate).
Application will be made for the 333,333,333 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to AIM, with admission expected to occur on or around 12 May 2016. Following admission of the new Ordinary Shares, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 2,794,864,166 Ordinary Shares with one voting right per share. There are no shares held in treasury and the total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 2,794,864,166. This figure of 2,794,864,166 ordinary shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
