Nektan plc
('Nektan', 'the Company' or 'the Group')
Completion of Second Tranche Placing
Nektan, an international B2B mobile gaming platform provider, is pleased to disclose that, as announced on 3 November 2014, Gary Shaw, Executive Chairman, has subscribed for 211,864 new ordinary shares of 1 penny each ("Placing Shares") at a price of 236 pence per share (the "Placing Price") (the "Second Tranche Placing"), raising £500,000 for the Company and completing the fundraising of £4.1 million via the Combined Placing. The proceeds of the Second Tranche Placing will be used to support the on-going development and expansion of the business, the Company's 'Evolve' platform and mobile gaming channels.
Application has been made this morning to the London Stock Exchange for admission to trading on AIM of the Placing Shares ("Admission"), and it is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on or around 19 December 2014. The Placing Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and rank on Admission pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of 1 penny each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). Completion of the Subscription is conditional on, inter alia, Admission.
Following the issue and allotment of the Placing Shares, the Company's enlarged issued ordinary share capital will comprise 21,440,051 Ordinary Shares. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. This figure of 21,440,051 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
