GlobalData Plc
("GlobalData" or the "Company")
Result of secondary placing of ordinary shares in GlobalData
On 6 October 2017, GlobalData announced that it had been advised
by Mike Danson (the "Selling Shareholder"), the Company's Chief
Executive, that in response to demand from investors he intended to
sell approximately 1.4 million ordinary shares in the Company via
an accelerated bookbuild placing to institutional investors (the
"Placing").
GlobalData announces that, due to increased institutional
demand, the Selling Shareholder has, subject to completion, sold
1,700,000 ordinary shares in the Company (the "Placing Shares"),
representing approximately 1.7 per cent. of the issued share
capital of GlobalData. The Placing Shares were placed at a price of
540 pence per share and were sold to institutional investors in a
placing managed by N+1 Singer Advisory LLP ("N+1 Singer"), acting
as sole bookrunner. The Company is not a party to the Placing and
will not receive any proceeds from the Placing.
Following the Placing, the Selling Shareholder holds 69,604,325
ordinary shares in the Company, representing approximately 68.1 per
cent. of the Company's issued share capital.
Settlement of the Placing is expected to take place on 20
October 2017, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain
customary conditions.
