Armstrong Ventures plc

("Armstrong" or the "Company")

Result of General Meeting, Board Changes and Change of Registered Office

 

The Company is pleased to announce that all the proposals put to Shareholders at the general meeting held at 11.00 a.m. on 17 July 2015 concerning the proposed Placing by Peterhouse Corporate Finance Limited ("Peterhouse") to raise approximately £2 million net of expenses and the change of Investing Policy were duly passed.

Application will be made for the 16,891,666,659 New Shares issued to the Placees and the 2,511,250,001 Adviser Shares issued to Peterhouse and other advisers pursuant to the Placing to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission and dealing is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on 23 July 2014. The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue. Following the issue of the new Ordinary Shares, the Company's total issued share capital will be 23,075,451,022 Ordinary Shares. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

The Company has created and issued a total of 4,222,916,655 Warrants. One Warrant has been issued for every four New Shares subscribed for by Placees pursuant to the Placing.

The Warrants may be exercised at any time on or before 31 July 2018 and shall entitle the Warrant holder to subscribe for one Ordinary Share for each Warrant held at 0.014p.

The registered office of the Company has been changed to 18 Buckingham Gate, London, SW1E 6LB.

Investing Policy

In addition, the Company has now adopted the following Investing Policy:

"The Company will invest in businesses in the media, technology and healthcare sectors which have some or all of the following characteristics:

 • strong management with a proven track record;

• ready for investment without the need for material re-structuring by the Company;

• generating positive cash flows or imminently likely to do so;

• an injection of new finances or specialist management will enhance the prospects and therefore the future value of the investment;

• the potential to deliver significant returns for the Company.

"Whilst the Company will be principally focused on making investments in private businesses, it would not rule out investment in listed businesses if this presents, in its judgment, the best opportunity for Shareholders.

"The Company intends to be an active investor in situations where the Company can make a clear contribution to the progress and development of the investment. In respect of other, more substantial investment opportunities, it is expected that the Company will be more of a passive investor.

"There will be no limit on the number of projects into which the Company may invest, and the Company's financial resources may be invested in a number of propositions or in just one investment, which may be deemed to be a reverse takeover pursuant to Rule 14 of the AIM Rules. Where the Company builds a portfolio of related assets it is possible that there may be cross-holdings between such assets. The Company does not currently intend to fund any investments with debt or other borrowings but may do so if appropriate.

"The Company's primary objective is that of securing for the Shareholders the best possible value consistent with achieving, over time, both capital growth and income for Shareholders through developing profitability coupled with dividend payments on a sustainable basis."
