(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of updates by London-listed companies, issued on Tuesday and not separately reported by Alliance News:
----------
Seeing Machines Ltd - Canberra, Australia-based designer of vehicle operator monitoring systems - Receives a lump sum royalty pay of around USD14.1 million from a "tier one automotive customer". The payment is part of an existing programme. "The payment, which will be received this month, relates to a material change to a production program which has enabled a renegotiation of the royalty payment terms, under guarantee. The accelerated payment is being made in lieu of future royalty payments that would otherwise have been received over the next four years," the firm adds. Seeing Machines notes that the sum will "further increase profitability and cash generation in the second half" of its financial year, which concludes in June. The third quarter of the financial year will be a "significant financial milestone" for Seeing Machine, with it generating positive earnings and cash. "Looking ahead, automotive royalty revenues are expected to increase materially over the next two quarters, driven by the rollout of general safety regulation legislation across Europe. These regulatory requirements are anticipated to accelerate both demand for and fitment rates of Seeing Machines' proven driver monitoring technology, particularly in European vehicle programs, supporting additional high-margin royalty revenue," Seeing Machine adds.

Centaur Media PLC - London-based business consultancy group - The company is progressing preparation for a tender offer which will return up to GBP64 million, at 48 pence per share. "This preparation has included ensuring that there are sufficient distributable reserves in order to facilitate the return of capital. To achieve the required level of distributable reserves, Centaur will need to effect a capital reduction which requires court approval and as a result has extended the time required to return capital to shareholders. The board now expects to issue the circular to shareholders seeking approval for the tender offer in January and expects the return of capital to take place in March 2026," Centaur adds. Centaur notes it signed a deal to sell Econsultancy to Uptime App Ltd. "The board views uptime as a compelling acquirer of Econsultancy, being able to use its technology platform and B2B relationships to help to grow the business," Centaur says. After that business is sold, Centaur will consist of a "single trading business", Influencer Intelligence. "The group has now completed the implementation of its plan to significantly downsize its central cost base and support functions in response to the lower resource requirements of owning a single business," it adds.

NYCE International PLC - London-based provider of gaming technologies and services - NYCE enters into a joint venture agreement with Spandan Manhata. Spandan has developed software assets focused on the igaming industry. The JV will acquire these assets into an entity named Innovassion Ltd, in which NYCE will be the majority shareholder. "Innovassion will operate as a standalone software development company under NYCE's commercial guidance and leveraging NYCE's global network, industry relationships, and market access. The new venture will focus on building scalable online casino solutions, proprietary gaming content, and modular iGaming technology designed to meet the needs of operators across regulated and emerging markets," NYCE adds. "The joint venture has already secured its first client through NYCE's network, validating both the platform and the commercial demand for its offering, and setting the foundation for further growth and deployment."
