This announcement contains inside information
St Peter Port Capital Limited ("the Company")
Holding in Mediatainment, Inc. ("Mediatainment")
The Company has an indirect interest in Stream TV Networks, Inc.
("Stream"), the developer of 3D tv without glasses, through an
investment in a holding company, Mediatainment, Inc. Stream has
recently announced further progress with its Chinese partners in
bringing the system to market. It has recently raised significant
further equity to fund its progress to mass production and the
Company understands that further fund-raisings may be completed in
the next few months.
Although this is positive progress, the recent fund-raisings
were at a materially lower price per share in Stream than previous
placings. The Company has been told by Stream that it is currently
working on a proposal to fold the Mediatainment structure and
distribute shares in Stream to Mediatainment, shareholders. The
Company has not yet received details of these proposals.
To reflect these recent fund-raisings, when full information
becomes available the Board of the Company intends to revalue its
holding in Mediatainment. Based on the information currently
available, it believes that the revaluation by marking to market
will significantly lower its current holding value and, other
things being equal, reduce the balance sheet of the Company by
approximately ten per cent. This is notwithstanding our policy over
the last few years to hold our interest in Mediatainment at a
valuation representing a significant discount to the prices at
which Stream had raised new equity during the years 2016, 2017 and
part of 2018. At this stage, the Board wishes to advise that it
cannot quantify the effect of the marking to market more
precisely.
