ASG Media plc
("ASG" or the "Company") (AIM: ASG.L)
Funding update
ASG, the leading digital out of home specialist, announces today that Neo Media Group SA ("Neo Media") has committed a further £20,000 to ASG through subscription for further Convertible Loan Notes (the "Neo Media Subscription") which, when converted at the 1p per share conversion price, will require the issue of a further 2.0 million new ordinary shares.
Following the Neo Media Subscription, Neo Media will hold 47,636,363 ordinary shares, representing 29.4 per cent of the issued share capital, and convertible loans which upon full conversion will require the issue of a further 143,500,000 new ordinary shares. Upon full conversion of their convertible loan notes Neo Media will own up to a maximum of 62.6 per cent of the Company's enlarged issued share capital. The Directors, with the exception of Christian Vaglio-Giors who is also a director of Neo Media, consider, having consulted with its nominated adviser Charles Stanley Securities, that the terms of the Neo Media Subscription are fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned.
On the 4 June the Company announced that it was undertaking a further fundraising of approximately £2.5m. While discussions continue with a number of potential investors to secure the funding required to meet the Company's long term cashflow commitments, the Company also continues to seek urgent further short term funding for its immediate working capital requirements and to support recent new contract wins.
At the same time the Company is also finalising the terms of a number of further significant new contracts, details of which are expected to be announced shortly.
