Sealand Capital Galaxy Limited
("Sealand", or the "Company")
Proposed Disposal of entire interest in SecureCom Media Holdings Limited
Sealand Capital Galaxy Limited announces that it has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU") to dispose its subsidiary, SecureCom Media Holdings Limited ("SecureCom"), to Creative Alpha Limited ("Creative Alpha" or the "Buyer") (the "Proposed Disposal") for a nominal consideration of £10,000.
The Proposed Disposal is conditional on, amongst other things, the Buyer's investigations into SecureCom and the parties entering into a definitive and legally binding share purchase agreement. The terms of the Proposed Disposal are still subject to further discussion and negotiation. There can be no guarantee that the Proposed Disposal or the terms of the MOU will be progressed. Further updates will be provided in due course when a definitive legal agreement is executed. The Proposed Disposal is expected, subject to due diligence and the conditions in the MOU, to be completed by 30 June 2018.
Information on SecureCom
SecureCom is limited liability company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands focussed on the provision of advertising services through social media and was acquired by Sealand in February 2017 for £1,000,000 in cash and 10,000,000 ordinary shares in the Company at 20 pence per share.
Following an extensive review, the Company's directors consider that in light of the competitive environment in which SecureCom operates, the business would require substantial additional capital in order to remain competitive, whilst the Group's focus is on the development of its WeChat Pay business.
Law Chung Lam Nelson, Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, commented:
"We invested in SecureCom in 2017 and were very excited about its prospects, but with new competitors entering the market and offering similar products we feel our investment is better served somewhere else. The media and technology market constantly evolves and at Sealand we like to stay ahead of this fast moving marketplace. Importantly, we are focusing on our future investments and continued geographic expansion, especially as we seek to use our expertise to capitalize on tourism in the United Kingdom with WeChatPay. We will continue to deploy our capital to add further impressive companies to our portfolio while providing growth and returns to our shareholders"
