Audioboom (AIM: BOOM), the leading global podcast company, announces that, on 2 March, Michael Tobin OBE, the Chairman of the Company, exercised warrants over 100,000 ordinary shares of no par value in the Company ("Ordinary Shares").
As a result, Michael Tobin's holding of ordinary shares in the Company will increase to 425,186 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 2.66 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.
Application has been made for the admission of these new Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective at 8am on 8 March.
Following Admission, the issued ordinary share capital of the Company will comprise 15,957,286 ordinary shares with one voting right per share ("Ordinary Shares").
