Mobile Streams plc
("MOS" or "the Company")
Mobile Streams takes ownership of LiveScores services
Issue of Equity and TVR
Mobile Streams plc is pleased to announce that it has taken sole ownership of the LiveScores services that it had previously been operating under a revenue share agreement with Quanta Media Group ('Quanta'). LiveScores was developed by Tim Scoffham in association with Quanta with its first launch in Mexico as per the MOS announcement of 26 July 2021. MOS has agreed to acquire LiveScores (the 'Acquisition') and cancel the revenue share agreement with Quanta, thereby removing any revenue share and giving MOS total control of not only the services previously announced but also the underlying platform engine, domains and IP that support LiveScores. LiveScores has subsequently launched in Argentina and Brazil. The Company is also pleased to announce four B2B contracts to deliver its LiveScores services platform in various territories including Italy, India, Turkey and Africa.
The consideration for the acquisition is £125,000 to be paid in shares, which are subject to a minimum 12 month lockup, and up to £75,000 in shares in three equal further tranches based on revenue derived from specific existing contracts over the next 12 months.
Additionally, the Company is delighted to announce the appointment of Tim Scoffham to lead the global LiveScores business and develop additional opportunities for the Company. Tim has spent much of his career in mobile marketing, content creation and affiliation, with emphasis in frontier territories of LATAM, Africa and Asia. Working directly with many telecom carriers around the World, Tim has provided strategies for clients to help better monetise mass audiences through content distribution and engagement.
Details of the Acquisition
Under the Share Purchase Agreement between the Company and Tim Scoffham, the initial consideration of £125,000 is to be paid in shares, to be issued at a price of 0.423 pence per share (the "Issue Price") being the VWAP per share for the three months to 9 February 2022. Additional consideration of up to £75,000 may be payable in shares at the Issue Price (together the "Consideration Shares"). All Consideration Shares will be subject to a 12 month lock-in and further 12 month orderly market arrangement.
Application for Admission to Trading on AIM
Application has been made for 29,539,323 new Ordinary Shares of 0.01 pence each, which when issued will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue, to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is expected to become effective at 8.00 a.m. on or around 16 February 2022.
