Results of Firm Placing and Open Offer

and Result of General Meeting

 

On 23 October 2015, Science in Sport plc (AIM: SIS), a leading sports nutrition company, announced a conditional Firm Placing to raise £7.9 million and an Open Offer to raise up to an additional £1.0 million.

 

The Company is pleased to announce that at its General Meeting held today all of the resolutions as set out in the Circular dated 23 October 2015 were duly passed.

 

The Company is also pleased to announce the results of the Open Offer, which closed for acceptances at 11.00 a.m. on 10 November 2015. Valid acceptances have been received in respect of 1,295,351 New Ordinary Shares of 10 pence each representing a percentage take up of 76.0 per cent of those New Ordinary Shares available under the Open Offer. Qualifying Shareholders who have applied for Offer Shares will receive the full number of Offer Shares applied for by them and those that made an application under the Excess Application Facility will receive 100 per cent of Excess Shares applied for by them.

 

As part of the Open Offer, Dawson Buck, a non-executive director of the Company, has agreed to purchase 111,900 New Ordinary Shares. Following this purchase Mr Buck will hold 593,577 Ordinary Shares, which will represent 1.5 per cent of the Enlarged Share Capital. As previously announced, Stephen Moon, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, agreed to purchase 254,000 New Ordinary Shares as part of the Firm Placing. Following this purchase Mr Moon will hold 675,330 Ordinary Shares, which will represent 1.7 per cent of the Enlarged Share Capital.

 

Application has been made for 1,295,351 New Ordinary Shares, to be issued via the Open Offer, to be admitted to trading on AIM. The Company has also made application for 13,380,911 New Ordinary Shares, to be issued via the Firm Placing, to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission and commencement of dealings in the 14,676,262 New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 12 November 2015. Following Admission, the Enlarged Share Capital of the Company will consist of 40,244,807 Ordinary Shares. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 40,244,807 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company.

 

Stephen Moon, Science in Sport's CEO, said: "We are delighted by the strong level of support in both the Firm Placing and in the Open Offer, which together have raised £8.7 million for the Company. We thank all shareholders for their support and send a particular welcome to new investors. The funds raised will enable us to deliver our strategy for accelerating the growth of the SiS brand, particularly through international sales and e-commerce, whilst continuing our focus on innovative new product development."

 

Defined terms used in this announcement not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings as those terms defined and used in the Circular dated 23 October 2015.
