CyanConnode Holdings PLC - Cambridge, England-based developer of narrowband radio frequency mesh networks - Put up or shut up deadline for possible bid from Esyasoft Holding Ltd is extended to July 21 from June 23.

At the time, CyanConnode said it would be willing to recommend unanimously a bid at this level. Esyasoft continues to progress its "confirmatory due diligence, which remains ongoing and at an advanced stage, with the parties continuing to work through the final remaining elements of that process." Hence, the extension to the bid deadline. Read More
Cambridge Cognition Holdings PLC - brain health software provider based in Cambridge, England - Plans to raise a minimum of GBP2.5 million through a GBP1.5 million placing to existing institutional investors and a GBP1.0 million subscription by certain investors at 35.0 pence per share. The placing will be via an accelerated bookbuild process. In addition, the company plans to raise up to GBP500,000 via a retail offer at the same price. Proceeds will fund the next phase of development, focused on expanding adoption of its digital cognitive assessment platform within healthcare and clinical settings and progressing towards a more "scalable, commercially focused business model". Cambridge Cognition says 2026 has started well and it already has visibility over GBP10 million of revenue and continues to trade in line with market expectations. But it adds the investments above will mean "significantly increasing the cost base, and therefore losses, over the next two years". The firm expects to see the benefits of the investment programmes feed through to additional revenue growth beyond existing plans from 2028. Read More
