Proposed Acquisition Update

 

 

Immedia (AIM: IME), a supplier of multi-media content and digital solutions for leading brands and global businesses, announces an update on its proposed acquisition of Sprift Technologies Ltd ("Sprift").

 

The Company, and its advisers, are continuing to make good progress with their due diligence enquiries into Sprift.  The Directors also note the recent announcement, made by OnTheMarket plc (AIM: OTMP, a leading UK residential property portal provider) on 13 May 2021, that it had entered into a commercial partnership arrangement with Sprift (https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/OTMP/commercial-partnership-with-sprift-technologies/14974890). 

 

As the Company announced on 26 March 2021, should the acquisition of Sprift proceed on the currently envisaged terms, it would be classified as a reverse takeover in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies ("RTO").  Accordingly, the Company's shares will remain suspended from trading on AIM until either the publication of an admission document setting out, inter alia, details of the proposed RTO or until confirmation is given that these discussions have ceased.  The proposed RTO remains subject to contract and satisfactory completion of the necessary due diligence and, at this stage, there is no guarantee that the proposed RTO will complete.

 

Immedia also agreed to provide Sprift with a secured loan facility of £900,000 ("Loan") for working capital purposes in three equal tranches; the third tranche of £300,000 was due to be paid to Sprift on 21 May 2021.  As this money is not yet required, the Company has agreed to defer the payment of this tranche until Sprift request it; all other terms of the Loan Agreement remain unchanged.

 

Further announcements will be made as appropriate.
