Cykel AI PLC
("Cykel" or "the
Company")
Cykel Completes Oversubscribed
Capital raise of £800,000 of new capital.
Cykel AI PLC, a UK-based technology
company specialising in artificial intelligence ("AI")
products that can interact with any UI, website, or API using
natural language commands, is pleased to announce an oversubscribed
placing by Clear Capital Markets for a total of 25,000,000 new
ordinary shares ("Placing Shares") of 1p each in the share capital
of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at an issue price of 3.2p per
Ordinary Share, a 1.5% premium to the 25 February 2025 closing
price, (the "Placing Price"), raising gross proceeds of circa
£800,000 (before expenses) (the "Placing").
The Placing Shares, when issued and
fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing
Ordinary Shares in issue and therefore will rank equally for all
dividends or other distributions declared, made or paid after the
issue of the Placing Shares.
Jonathan Bixby, Chairman of Cykel AI,
said: "We are delighted to have closed this oversubscribed
financing at a premium to our closing share price. With
our HR AI recruiter Lucy in the field we expect to use this capital
on further bolstering our promising sales and marketing
efforts."
Use
of net proceeds
The net proceeds of the Placing will
be used to fund: (i) the further development of Eve, Cykel's Sales
specialist automated digital worker; (ii) the release of Samson,
Cykel's Sales research analyst automated digital worker; and (iii)
the Company's general working capital requirements.
Total Voting Rights:
Application will be made to the
Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") for admission of the Placing
Shares to the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange (the
"LSE") for admission to trading of the Placing Shares on the LSE's
Main Market for listed securities (together "Admission"). It is
expected that Admission will take place at or around 8.00 a.m. on
or around 4 March 2025.
Following Admission, the Company
confirms that its total issued share capital will consist
of 457,926,576 Ordinary Shares, with one voting right per
Ordinary Share. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in
treasury. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as
the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine
if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in
their interest in, the share capital of the Company pursuant
to the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
