Update on merger discussions and securing of bridge financing
PeerTV (AIM:PTV) wishes to update the market regarding potential merger discussions as well as the securing of a bridge financing.
The Company has reached agreement in principal with DigiTek Holdings Ltd., an Israeli electronics contract manufacturer and outsourcing specialist, to acquire this company in a share exchange transaction. A merger of the two businesses is expected to produce significant operational benefits to PeerTV in logistics, quality control and production management. DigiTek S.M., the operating subsidiary of DigiTek Holdings Ltd., was established in 1993 and has a wide range of electronics, defense and telecommunications industry customers. It is mainly active in the production and assembly of printed circuit boards, which form the core of most electronics products, including PeerTV's set top boxes.
The merger would constitute a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules and will require shareholder approval. A readmission document as required by the AIM Rules is being prepared at this time. The proposed transaction would also be subject to a successful tender offer in Israel.
The Company also wishes to announce that it has agreed to a bridge financing which will provide it with approximately £400,000 to strengthen its working capital. An additional financing is expected to be arranged at the time of the merger of the two companies to permit working capital and growth financing needs to be met.
