XLMedia (AIM: XLM), a leading global digital performance publisher, is pleased to announce that at the General Meeting held earlier today, all Resolutions proposed were duly passed by Shareholders.
Furthermore, the Open Offer closed for acceptances at 11.00 a.m. on 1 April 2021 with final valid applications from Qualifying Shareholders received in respect of 34,244,714 Open Offer Shares. Accordingly, the excess Open Offer applications have been scaled back to the allocation of 7,503,200 Open Offer Shares.
Accordingly, the Company will raise a total of approximately £27.0 million (before expenses) through the Placing, Subscription and Open Offer and has thus issued and allotted 67,503,200 New Shares as part of the Placing, Subscription and Open Offer. An application has been made for the 48,790,334 Second Placing Shares, Second Subscription Shares and Open Offer Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on 7 April 2021.
Following Second Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 262,586,405 ordinary shares, of which none are held in treasury. The above figure of 262,586,405 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 voting rights of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
