("Globo" or "the Group")
High Yield Bond Update
Globo plc (LSE-AIM: GBO / OTCQX: GOBPY), the international provider of Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM), mobile solutions and software as a service (SaaS), announces the following update concerning its High Yield Bond fund raising.
Globo plc is continuing the process of fund raising via a High Yield Bond which it hopes to conclude shortly, having received strong interest from numerous investors.
This process has been delayed by market events through the summer of 2015, notably uncertainty surrounding the Greek economy and latterly the weakness in global equities following the severe correction in China which has impacted the High Yield Bond market.
The purpose of the High Yield Bond issue, as stated at the outset, remains the strengthening of Globo's position to execute acquisitions and to continue to advance its position in the Enterprise Mobility Management marketplace. Whilst the fund raising process is being concluded, Globo remains committed to completing the first of these acquisitions which is underpinned by existing cash resources which are currently held in investment grade banks in the US, UK and Switzerland.
Globo CEO Costis Papadimitrakopoulos commented:
"The recent developments in global markets have proved challenging in the raise of our maiden High Yield Bond issue. However, we have received considerable support to date from investors and are confident that our growth strategy remains on track. "
