("B90", the "Company" or "Group")
Director Dealing
B90 Holdings plc (AIM: B90), the online marketing and operating company for the gaming industry, announces that Mr Ronny Ingvar Breivik has satisfied a debt owed by Entercreation Limited, a corporate entity majority owned by Mr Breivik, to The Nestegg BV, a corporate entity wholly owned by Mark Rosman, Senior Non-Executive Director of B90, by the transfer of, in aggregate, 9,000,000 ordinary shares of no par value in the Company ("Ordinary Shares").
Mr Breivik is a substantial shareholder in Performance Media SIA, one of the Requisitioning Shareholders proposing, inter alia, the appointment of Mr Breivik as a director of the Company, as notified to the market on 20 September 2022 and 27 September 2022; about which further information is set out in the Company's announcement of 17 October 2022 and the circular sent to the Company's shareholders on that date, which is also available on the Company's website.
The Board is extremely surprised that Mr Breivik, who together with the Requisitioning Shareholders, is trying to secure his appointment to the Board, and the removal of Karim Peer as Executive Chairman and Mr Nigel Eastwood as a director of the Company, would choose to satisfy the debt owed to The Nestegg BV in this way, thereby diminishing his interest in the Company's share capital, at the same time as he is seeking to become a Board Director.
Following the transfer of Ordinary Shares to Mr Rosman, Mr Rosman is now interested in 23,419,019 Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing 8.3% of the entire issued share capital of the Company.
The Company reiterates the Board's recommendation that shareholders vote against all four proposed resolutions at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 7 November 2022.
Mark Rosman, Senior Non-Executive Director, B90 said:
"We are increasingly confused by the actions of Mr Breivik who, while seeking to join the Board, has recently served conditional notice terminating his engagement with B90 Ventures Ltd and is now significantly reducing his shareholding in the Company. The Board continues to urge all shareholders to vote against the resolutions at the forthcoming EGM."
