Results of Open Offer
Tasty (AIM: TAST), the owner and operator of restaurants in the casual dining sector, is pleased to announce that further to the announcement of the Placing and Open Offer on 12 April 2019, it has conditionally raised total gross proceeds of £0.25 million via the Open Offer of up to 6,294,262 Open Offer Shares.
The Open Offer closed for acceptances at 11.00 a.m. on 30 April 2019. The Company received valid acceptances from Qualifying Shareholders in respect of 6,580,017 Open Offer Shares including applications for 5,199,269 Open Offer Shares under the Excess Application Facility. This represents 104.5 per cent. of the maximum Open Offer Shares available under the Open Offer. Accordingly, the maximum number of Open Offer Shares will be issued and allotted pursuant to the Open Offer. Qualifying Shareholders who have validly applied for Open Offer Shares will receive their full Open Offer Entitlement. Applications under the Excess Application Facility will therefore be scaled back in accordance with the terms of the Open Offer. Such issue and allotment is conditional only on passing of the relevant resolutions at the General Meeting to be held at 11.00 a.m. on 1 May 2019 and Admission, which is expected to take place at 08.00 a.m. on 2 May 2019.
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as defined in the circular sent to shareholders of the Company on 12 April 2019.
