Falcon Acquisitions Limited
("Falcon" or the "Company")
Potential Acquisition and Suspension from Trading
Falcon Acquisitions, the LSE listed investment company focused on investments in the Over-The-Top services ("OTT") market, is pleased to announce that it has agreed terms with regards to the acquisition of Orbital Multi Media Holdings Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Quiptel Hong Kong Limited. The proposed transaction is in accordance with the Company's stated strategy to acquire a business or businesses in the OTT sector, and is of such a size and nature as to constitute a reverse takeover under the Listing Rules. As such the Company has requested the UKLA suspend the Listing of its ordinary shares and in due course the Company intends to re-apply for admission to the Official List and the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. Listing of the Company's ordinary shares will be suspended until such time as a prospectus is published in relation to the potential acquisition or the Company announces that the discussions have been terminated.
At this point the Company has entered into a conditional agreement to undertake an acquisition and there is no guarantee that any transaction will be completed. The Company published a prospectus on 13th January 2016, available at www.falconacquisitions.com, which included full details in relation to its investment strategy. The Company is not aware of any subsequent material changes to the information then published, other than those announced through the Regulatory News Service.
Gert Rieder, the Company's Executive Chairman, said: "We continue to consider acquisition opportunities in the rapidly growing OTT market, which is transforming the way we access media content. Our focus has been on securing a foundation investment that will enable us to build a scalable business through which we can generate significant returns for our shareholders. I am pleased to report that we have identified one situation in particular which we believe has the potential to generate considerable value, subject to the required conditions to complete the transaction being met. I look forward to making further announcements regarding the transaction in due course."
