Result of Meetings
Vitesse Media Plc (VIS), the AIM-listed digital media and events business, announces that all resolutions were duly passed at the Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held earlier today. In addition, all resolutions were also duly passed at the Company's General Meeting, held immediately after the conclusion of the AGM.
Consequently, it is expected that 107,500,000 new ordinary shares of 1 penny each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") issued in connection with the placing, announced by the Company on 8 September 2017 ("Placing"), will be admitted to trading on AIM at 8.00am on 27 September 2017 ("Admission").
As a result of their participation in the Placing, immediately following Admission, Simon Stilwell, Chief Executive of the Company, will hold 17,500,000 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 10.2 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital, and Anthony Cross, a significant shareholder in the Company, will hold 32,000,000 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 18.6 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.
As a result of a change in voting rights immediately following Admission, the number of shares held by the Company's remaining directors who hold an interest in the share capital of the Company remain unchanged, however, their percentage holdings will decrease. These directors' resultant shareholdings will be as follows:
Director | No. of Ordinary Shares | % of issued share capital |
David Smith, Non-Executive Chairman | 7,368,421 | 4.3% |
Keith Willey, Non-Executive Director | 655,080 | 0.4% |
Following Admission, the Company will have 172,061,632 Ordinary Shares in issue with voting rights. This figure (172,061,632) 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 Guidance and Transparency Rules.
