RedstoneConnect, a leading provider of technology and services for smart buildings and commercial spaces, is pleased to announce that further to the announcement made at 7.00 a.m. today (the "Placing Announcement"), Cantor Fitzgerald and Whitman Howard have successfully placed an aggregate of 433,333,334 Ordinary Shares on behalf of the Company at a price of 1.5 pence per share, with new and existing institutional investors. Pursuant to the Placing, the Company has raised gross proceeds of approximately £6.5 million. The Placing, which was oversubscribed, has received strong support from both new and existing institutional shareholders.
Other than where defined, capitalised terms used in this announcement (this "Announcement") have the meanings given to them in the Placing Announcement.
The Placing Price represents a discount of approximately 3 per cent. to the closing mid-market price of 1.55 pence per existing Ordinary Share on 8 May 2017, being the latest practicable closing mid-market price prior to the Placing Announcement.

The Placing Shares will represent, in aggregate, approximately 21 per cent. of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as enlarged by the issue of the Placing Shares. Application has been made for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Subject to the Placing Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms, it is anticipated that Admission will occur at 8.00 a.m. on 12 May 2017.
