Acquisition of Purely Plasma Limited
and Change of Directorate
The board of Fundamental-e Investments plc (the "Company") is pleased to
announce the acquisition today of the entire issued share capital of Purely
Plasma Limited ("Purely Plasma").
Purely Plasma is a start-up company which has not traded and which will
specialise in the sale and distribution of plasma flat screen televisions to
both the retail and corporate markets. Initially Purely Plasma will sell its
products via the Internet but later will open retail shops to complete its
"Clicks and Bricks" strategy. Both corporate and retail customers will be able
to rent plasma screen televisions or purchase them outright. Purely Plasma will
be able to enter this new fast growing market at minimal cost by maximising the
use of the group's current warehousing and distribution facilities and
exploiting the potential synergies between the group's component supplier, CCM
Distribution Limited and Purely Plasma.
There is no initial cash or share consideration for Purely Plasma. Once Purely
Plasma achieves sales of at least #200,000 and has a fully operational internet
trading site, the Company will allot to the vendors of Purely Plasma such number
of shares in the Company equivalent to 16.74% of the issued share capital of the
Company on the date the last of the two conditions have been satisfied.
The board feels that the purchase of Purely Plasma is an exciting and
challenging opportunity.
Stuart Willmott, currently finance director and company secretary of the
Company, is facing increasing demands on his time from his other business
activities, is unable to devote sufficient time to the new venture and so is
stepping down from his position. He is replaced by Mr Ian Ashworth as finance
director and company secretary with immediate effect.
The following disclosures are made in accordance with Paragraph 16.4 of the
Listing Rules.
