For immediate release
5 February
2025
Gfinity PLC
("Gfinity" or the
"Company")
Issue of equity
The Board is pleased to announce that, further
to the announcement earlier today, David Halley has now subscribed
£15,000 for 24,000,000 new Ordinary Shares at a subscription price
of 0.0625p per new Ordinary Share.
Fundraising
As announced earlier today, the Company has
raised £245,000, conditional on Admission, through a Company
arranged subscription with third parties ("Subscription") at a
price of 0.0625 pence per new Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price")
through the issue of 392,000,000 new Ordinary Shares ("Subscription
Shares"). David Halley has now subscribed £15,000 for a
further 24,000,000 new Ordinary Shares ("Director Subscription
Shares") at the Issue Price ("Director Subscription"). The proceeds
from the Subscription and the Director Subscription (together the
"Fundraising"), amounting to £260,000 in aggregate, will be used to
develop the commercialisation of CIQ, new business
opportunities and provide general working
capital.
In addition, as announced earlier, the Company
will issue new warrants "(Warrants") pursuant to the Fundraising on
the basis of one Warrant for every Subscription Share or Director
Subscription Share. Holders of the Warrants may subscribe for one
new Ordinary Share in the Company at a price of 0.09p for 18 months
commencing on issuance. The Warrant instrument contains a provision
that if the volume weighted average price of a Gfinity Ordinary
Share trades above 0.12p for five consecutive business days, and a
Warrant holder exercises Warrants within 20 business days after
being notified of such by the Company, the Warrant holder will then
become entitled to receive a new Warrant ("New Warrant") on the
basis of one New Warrant for every Warrant exercised. Holders of
the New Warrants may then subscribe for one new Ordinary Share in
the Company at a price of 0.2p for an 18-month period from
issuance.
Admission
The Subscription Shares and the Director
Subscription Shares (together the "Fundraising Shares") amount in
aggregate to 416,000,000 New Ordinary Shares. The Fundraising
Shares will, when issued, rank pari passu in all respects with the
existing Ordinary Shares. Application is being made for the
416,000,000 Fundraising Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and
Admission is expected to take place on or around 14 February
2025.
Voting
Rights
In accordance with the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA"), the
total issued share capital on Admission will consist of
4,015,029,913 ordinary shares of 0.01p each, none of which are to
be held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights
in the Company on Admission is 4,015,029,913.
The above mentioned figure 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 Company, under the FCA's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Related
Party
David Halley is a director of the Company and
the Director Subscription is being treated as a related party
transaction pursuant to Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies.
Accordingly, the Independent Directors (being the Board other than
David Halley) consider, having consulted with the Company's
nominated adviser, Beaumont Cornish, that the Subscription is fair
and reasonable insofar as Gfinity's Shareholders are concerned. In
particular, the Directors have taken into account that David Halley
is subscribing on the same terms and conditions as the third-party
subscribers pursuant to the Subscription.
