Oxford Technology 4 VCT plc ("the Company")
Realisation of Investment
The Company is pleased to announce the sale on 20 November 2015 of its
investment in Telegesis (UK) Ltd ("Telegesis"), a world leading supplier
of Zigbee technology. Telegesis has been acquired by Silicon
Laboratories UK Ltd.
The Company will receive cash proceeds of GBP1.62m for its shares. The
carrying value which was incorporated within the net asset value of the
Company at 31 August 2015 was GBP1.37 million. Consequently the effect
of this transaction had it been incorporated into the accounts at 31
August 2015 would have increased the net asset value per share by 2.2p
to 75.8p. The net cost of the company's investment was GBP231k, so the
current realisation represents a return of 7x on the company's
investment.
Telegesis was founded in 2003 when OT2 and OT3 became the first
investors. Later, in 2005, OT4 invested to support the company as it
grew.
Telegesis specialises in Zigbee technology. Zigbee is a wireless
communications protocol like Bluetooth. Bluetooth is for sending large
volumes of data over short distances, Zigbee is for sending small
amounts of data over large distances. Lots of companies do Zigbee, but
it is believed that Telegesis is the only company which specialises only
in Zigbee. In the year to 31 March 2015, sales were GBP5.5m, and sales
growth has continued in the current year.
OT4's 3rd quarter ends on 30 November and the board will be considering
dividend policy during the review of those results.
OT4 would like to congratulate Nicholas Gomersall and Ollie Smith for
having successfully founded and developed the business.
