Notes
SYME and its operating subsidiaries provide its Platform for use by manufacturing and trading companies to access inventory trade solutions enabling their businesses to generate cashflow, via a non-credit approach and without incurring debt. This is achieved by their existing eligible inventory being added to the Platform and then monetised via purchase by third party Inventory Funders. The inventory to be monetised can include warehouse goods waiting to be sold to end-customers or goods/commodities that are part of a typical import/export transaction. SYME announced in August 2021 the launch of a global Inventory Monetisation programme which will be focused on both inventory in transit monetisation and warehouse goods monetisation. This program will be focused on creditworthy companies and not those in distress or otherwise seeking to monetise illiquid inventories.
1 Shareholders should note that the Company has been informed by its registrar, Neville Registrars Limited, that the figure of 320,855,041 Open Offer Warrants initially notified by the Company to the market by way of RNS on 18 August 2022, and subsequently by way of RNS on 31 August 2022, was 50% of the number of Open Offer Shares (given the 2:1 ratio specified in the associated shareholder circular), but that such figure did not cater for fractional rounding (a de minimis discrepancy of 33 Open Offer Warrants). For the avoidance of doubt, only 320,855,008 Open Offer Warrants have been issued by the Company.
