Launch of Open Offer, Posting of Circular

and

Notice of General Meeting

 

Unbound Group plc (AIM: UBG) ("Unbound Group", the "Company" or, together with its subsidiary undertakings, the "Group"), is pleased to announce that, further to the Company's announcement on 21 July 2022 (the "Launch Announcement"), it is proposing to raise up to approximately £1 million (before expenses) through an Open Offer pursuant to which Qualifying Shareholders will have an opportunity to subscribe for an aggregate of 6,675,849 Open Offer Shares at an Offer Price of 15 pence per Open Offer Share.

 

Pursuant to the Open Offer, Qualifying Shareholders will be given the opportunity to subscribe for:

 

1 Open Offer Share for every 6.33 Existing Ordinary Shares

held by Qualifying Shareholders at the Record Date and so on in proportion for any other number of Existing Shares then held.

Any Open Offer Shares not subscribed for by Qualifying Shareholders will be available to Qualifying Shareholders under the Excess Application Facility and as such, Qualifying Shareholders seeking to limit their dilution from the Placing can also request additional Open Offer Shares ("Excess Shares") under the Excess Application Facility. The Open Offer is not being underwritten. 

 

The Open Offer is conditional upon, among other things (i) the Resolutions being duly passed by Shareholders at the General Meeting and (ii) Admission having become effective at or before 8.00 a.m. on 11 August 2022 (or such later time and/or date as the Bookrunner may agree with the Company not being later than 8.00 a.m. on 1 September 2022).

 

Posting of Circular

 

The Company also confirms that a circular, which contains further details regarding the Open Offer and the Share Capital Reorganisation and a notice convening the General Meeting (the "Circular"), will be posted today to Qualifying Shareholders, along with the Application Form (where applicable). The Circular will also be made available on the Company's website: https://unboundgroupplc.com/.

 

Notice of General Meeting

The General Meeting has been convened for 10.00 a.m. on 10 August 2022 at the offices of Singer Capital Markets, 1 Bartholomew Lane, London, EC2N 2AX.
