Result of Placing,
Director Shareholding
and
Total Voting Rights
SRT Marine Systems plc ('SRT'), a global provider of integrated maritime surveillance systems and digital navigation safety transceivers, is pleased to announce that, further to the announcement made yesterday, the Company has concluded its Bookbuild process, successfully raising gross proceeds of £4.9 million through the Placing. The Company has placed 16,365,000 new Ordinary Shares at a price of 30 pence per new Ordinary Share with existing and new investors.
The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 25% to the closing mid-market price of an Ordinary Share of 40 pence on 9 March 2022. The New Ordinary Shares will represent 9.06% of the Company's Enlarged Issued Share Capital.
finnCap acted as Broker to the Placing. The New Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Placing will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares at that time.
Directors Participation
Simon Tucker and Kevin Finn have subscribed for in aggregate 166,666 Placing Shares at the Issue Price raising gross proceeds of approximately £50,000.
On completion of the Placing, Simon Tucker and Kevin Finn will have the following resultant shareholdings:
|
|
|
| Resultant holding | |
| Director | Current shareholding | Number of Ordinary Shares purchased | Ordinary Shares | % of issued share capital |
| Simon Tucker | 2,763,741 | 83,333 | 2,847,074 | 1.58 |
| Kevin Finn | 0 | 83,333 | 83,333 | 0.05 |
Admission
The Placing is conditional, inter alia, upon the Admission becoming effective. Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the 16,365,000 New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing to be admitted to trading on AIM and, subject to the Placing Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms, it is expected that Admission will become effective and trading will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 16 March 2022.
Total Voting Rights
On Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue will be 180,676,939 and the total number of voting rights will therefore be 180,676,939. This 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 share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
