FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE13 July 2018 

ASA International Group plc

Announcement of Offer Price

Offer price set at 313 pence

Following the announcement by ASA International on 29 June 2018 of the offer price range in connection with the initial public offer of its ordinary shares (the "Offer"), the Company today announces the successful pricing of the Offer at 313 pence per Share (the "Offer Price") comprising an offer of 40 million existing Shares.

Based on the Offer Price, the market capitalisation of the Company will be approximately £313 million at the commencement of conditional dealings on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.

Dirk Brouwer, co-founder and CEO of ASA International, said:

"The listing of the Shares on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange is a landmark moment for ASA International. I would like to thank all our colleagues and founding shareholders for helping us reach this milestone, and welcome our new investors as we begin an exciting next chapter in our growth.

"We look ahead with confidence as we seek to deliver value for our shareholders and continue to expand our mission to enhance financial inclusion among predominantly female micro-entrepreneurs across Asia and Africa."

Md. Shafiqual Haque Choudhury, co-founder and Non-Executive Chairman, added:

"We have been delighted with the response from institutional investors during this process, who have shown a strong interest in our company and the proven, replicable, low-cost ASA microfinance model that underpins our growth story. We look forward to continuing to roll out this model in Asia and Africa, as we seek to serve the market of 365 million low-income women where we currently operate, as well as expanding into other regions over time."

 

Offer Highlights

· The Offer Price has been set at 313 pence per Share.

 

· Based on the Offer Price, the total market capitalisation of ASA International at the commencement of conditional dealings on the London Stock Exchange will be approximately £313 million.

 

· The Offer comprises the sale of 40 million existing Shares held by founding investor Catalyst Microfinance Investors (the "Selling Shareholder"), equating to gross proceeds of £125 million (assuming no exercise of the Over-allotment Option (defined below)) for the Selling Shareholder and representing 40 per cent. of ASA International's issued share capital on Admission, with no proceeds received by the Company.

 

· The Selling Shareholder has granted Citigroup Global Markets Limited, as stabilising manager, an over-allotment option in respect of up to 4 million Shares, representing up to 10 per cent.  of the total number of Shares comprised in the Offer (the "Over-allotment Option"). If the Over-allotment Option were exercised in full, the incremental gross proceeds raised by the Selling Shareholder would be approximately £13 million.

 

 

Admission and Dealings

· Conditional dealings in the Shares are expected to commence at 8:00 am (UK time) on 13 July 2018 under the ticker "ASAI" and ISIN GB00BDFXHW57.

 

· Admission is expected to take place at 8:00am (UK time) on 18 July 2018.

 

· At Admission, the Company will have 100 million Shares in issue.

 

· Further details of the Offer are set out in the Prospectus, which is available from ASA International's registered office at 42-50 Hersham Road, Walton-On-Thames, Surrey KT12 1RZ and, subject to certain restrictions, online at http://www.asa-international.com

 

· The Pricing Statement relating to the Offer will be submitted to the FCA and will shortly be available from ASA International's registered office and, subject to certain restrictions, online at http://www.asa-international.com

 

 

Further Information

 

· The directors of the Company (the "Directors") have each agreed to a 365-day lock-up. The Company and the Selling Shareholder have each agreed to a 180-day lock-up. Certain other shareholders have also agreed to be subject to lock-up arrangements. All of the lock-ups are subject to certain customary exceptions.

Citigroup, which is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority in the United Kingdom, has been appointed as Sponsor, Global Co-Ordinator and Joint Bookrunner; EFG Hermes has been appointed as Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter; Investec, which is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority in the United Kingdom, has been appointed as Joint Bookrunner; and KBW, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom, has been appointed as Lead Manager. The Banks are each acting exclusively for the Company and no one else in connection with the Offer. They will not regard any other person as their respective clients in relation to the Offer and will not be responsible to anyone other than ASA International for providing the protections afforded to their respective clients, nor for providing advice in relation to the Offer, the contents of this announcement or any transaction, arrangement or other matter referred to herein.

In connection with the Offer, each of the Banks and any of their respective affiliates, acting as investors for their own accounts, may purchase Shares and in that capacity may retain, purchase, sell, offer to sell or otherwise deal for their own accounts in such Shares and other securities of ASA International or related investments in connection with the Offer or otherwise. Accordingly, references in the Prospectus to the Shares being offered, acquired, placed or otherwise dealt in should be read as including any offer to, or acquisition, placing or dealing by any of the Banks and any of their respective affiliates acting as investors for their own accounts. In addition, the Banks may enter into financing arrangements and swaps in connection with which they or their affiliates may from time to time acquire, hold or dispose of Shares. None of the Banks nor any of their respective affiliates intend to disclose the extent of any such investment or transactions otherwise than in accordance with any legal or regulatory obligations to do so.

To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, none of the Banks or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, limited or unlimited partners, employees, advisers or agents accepts any responsibility or liability whatsoever for, or makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the information in this announcement (or whether any information has been omitted from the announcement) or any other information relating to ASA International or the Group, its subsidiaries or associated companies, whether written, oral or in a visual or electronic form, and howsoever transmitted or made available or for any loss howsoever arising from any use of this announcement or its contents or otherwise arising in connection therewith.

In connection with the Offer, Citigroup Global Markets Limited (the "Stabilising Manager"), or any of its agents, may (but will be under no obligation to), to the extent permitted by applicable law, over-allot Shares or effect other transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Shares at a higher level than that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. The Stabilising Manager is not required to enter into such transactions and such transactions may be effected on any stock market, over-the-counter market, stock exchange or otherwise and may be undertaken at any time during the period commencing on the date of the commencement of conditional dealings in the Shares on the London Stock Exchange and ending no later than 30 calendar days thereafter. However, there will be no obligation on the Stabilising Manager or any of its agents to effect stabilising transactions and there is no assurance that stabilising transactions will be undertaken. Such stabilising measures, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time without prior notice. In no event will measures be taken to stabilise the market price of the Shares above the Offer Price. Save as required by law or regulation, neither the Stabilising Manager nor any of its agents intends to disclose the extent of any over-allotments made and/or stabilisation transactions conducted in relation to the Offer.

In connection with the Offer, the Stabilising Manager may, for stabilisation purposes, over-allot Shares up to a maximum of 10 per cent of the total number of Shares comprised in the Offer). For the purposes of allowing it to cover short positions resulting from any such over-allotments and/or from sales of Shares effected by it during the stabilising period, the Selling Shareholder has granted to the Stabilising Manager on behalf of the Banks, an option pursuant to which the Stabilising Manager may purchase, or procure purchasers for, additional Shares (the "Over-allotment Shares") at the Offer Price. The over-allotment arrangements may be exercised in whole or in part upon notice by the Stabilising Manager at any time on or before the 30th calendar day after the commencement of conditional dealings in the Shares on the London Stock Exchange. Any Over-allotment Shares made available pursuant to the over-allotment arrangements will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares, including for all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on the Shares, will be purchased on the same terms and conditions as the Shares being sold in the Offer and will form a single class for all purposes with the other Shares.

Certain figures contained in this document, including financial information, have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, in certain instances, the sum or percentage change of the numbers contained in this document may not conform exactly with the total figure given.

Information to Distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the offer. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Banks will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
