Immediate Acquisition Plc

("IME" or "the Group" or "the Company")

Update on the proposed acquisition of Fiinu Holdings Ltd

The Directors of Immediate Acquisition Plc (AIM: IME) are pleased to announce that, further to the close of the accelerated bookbuild ("ABB") and temporary suspension of trading announcement earlier today, the Company has now entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreements for the proposed acquisition of Fiinu Holdings Ltd ("Proposed Acquisition"), which constitutes a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules. In addition it has entered into the Placing and Loan Facility Agreement together with the Relationship and Lock in Agreements. Details of all these agreements will be included in the Admission Document, together with a Notice of a General Meeting which is to be convened to approve, inter alia, the Proposed Acquisition, the Rule 9 waiver of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, the Placing and the proposed change of name.

Loan Facility Agreement

The Company has entered into a GBP2.49 million loan facility agreement (the "Loan Facility") with Dewscope Limited, a company controlled by Mark Horrocks, a non-executive director of the Company. The Loan Facility is for two years, unsecured and will attract interest at 12.5% on amounts drawn (paid monthly in arrears). In addition, there is a 2% arrangement fee and a 3% drawdown fee on each tranche (with a minimum tranche size of GBP250,000). The Loan Facility will be utilised to provide additional working capital for the Enlarged Group.

The Loan Facility is a related party transaction for the purposes of the AIM Rules. The Company's independent directors, being Tim Hipperson and Simon Leathers, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser SPARK Advisory Partners Limited, consider that the terms of the Loan Facility are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

In addition, the Company sold its entire shareholding in Audioboom Group plc shares yesterday for a consideration of approximately GBP0.95 million in cash.

The Admission Document, Notice of General Meeting and Form of Proxy are expected to be published and posted to shareholders today.

Further announcements will be made as appropriate.
