Open Offer - Directors' intentions to participate
Underwriting Update
Further to the announcements of 29 June 2016 and 20 July 2016, Fitbug Holdings Plc, the AIM quoted technology developer and digital wellness pioneer, provides the following updates in respect of the Fitbug Directors intentions to participate in the Open Offer, and an update on the Underwriting commitments.
Directors intentions to participate
Further to the Result of Open Offer announcement of 20 July 2016, the directors of the Company have indicated their intention to subscribe, at a price of 0.25p per share, for certain Open Offer Shares that have not been subscribed for by Qualifying Shareholders. The Directors intention to subscribe for shares is set out below:
Director | Current Holding | Proposed subscription (£) | Number of shares to be subscribed for | Resultant holding on Admission | % resultant holding on Admission* |
Donald Stewart | Nil | 5,000 | 2,000,000 | 2,000,000 | 0.16% |
Anna Gudmundson | Nil | 6,000 | 2,400,000 | 2,400,000 | 0.19% |
Tyler Tarr | Nil | 5,000 | 2,000,000 | 2,000,000 | 0.16% |
Mark Ollila | Nil | 5,000 | 2,000,000 | 2,000,000 | 0.16% |
*Subject to the Resolutions being passed and the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional
The total subscription for Open Offer Shares by Qualifying Shareholders and the Directors is therefore 77,116,438 Open Offer Shares.
The Open Offer remains conditional upon the passing of the Resolutions at the General Meeting of the Company to be held at 3.05p.m. on 22 July 2016 and therefore the subscription by the Directors remains conditional on the Resolutions being passed.
Underwriting Arrangements
As previously announced, Kifin has conditionally agreed to capitalize £1 million of its loans into 40,000,000 new Ordinary shares of 2.5p each. NW1 has also conditionally agreed to capitalise £7.4 million of its loans into New Ordinary Shares at 2.5p each which will result in the issue to NW1 of 296,000,000 New Ordinary Shares. In addition, bridging loans of £121,000 and £280,000 (announced on 13 June 2016 and 29 June 2016) will be repaid by the issue of 160,400,000 New Ordinary Shares, which will form part of the shares to be issued pursuant to NW1's underwriting commitment, details of which are set out below.
Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, NW1 has agreed to underwrite the entire Fundraising as to ensure the full proceeds of the Fundraising will be received by the Company. Subject to shareholder approval at a General Meeting of the Company to be held on 22 July 2016, and the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional, NW1 will therefore subscribe for, in aggregate 196,000,000 Open Offer Shares which have not been taken up by Qualifying Shareholders and the Directors. As described above, these shares include the shares issued in satisfaction of the repayment of the bridging loans. Subject to the Resolutions being passed at the General Meeting and the Placing being completed, following completion of the Proposals, NW1 will be interested in 506,000,000 New Ordinary Shares representing approximately 41.1% of the issued share capital on Admission and the Concert Party will be interested, in aggregate, in 614,474,999 New Ordinary Shares representing approximately 49.9 per cent. of the issued share capital on Admission. The balance of the underwriting obligations, totalling £1,076,275 will be satisfied by new secured loan notes, which shall be repayable on 31 July 2019 and shall carry interest at 4 per cent. per year over the Bank of England base rate, payable quarterly. The loan notes carry the rights, exercisable at NW1's sole discretion, to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price for a period of 5 years from the date of issue. These subscription rights shall be capable of being exercisable in cash immediately and for an aggregate subscription price equal in value to the number of loan notes that may be issued to NW1, and will be exercisable, inter alia, only to the extent that such exercise does not result in the Concert Party's holding, or the holding of any other holder of subscription rights and any person with whom such holder of subscription rights is acting in concert (as such term is defined in the City Code), in aggregate, being over 49.9 per cent. of the then issued share capital. The subscription rights will be transferable.
On Admission, the Concert Party's shareholdings are expected to be as follows:
Existing Shares | Loan Capitalisation | Fundraising | Conversion rights under outstanding loans | Following completion of the Placing, Loan Capitalisation and Open Offer | |||
Interest in Existing Ordinary Shares (no.) | Interest in Existing Ordinary Shares (%) | Shares to be issued under Loan Capitalisation | Shares to be issued pursuant to the underwriting arrangements | Interest in Enlarged Share Capital (no.) | Maximum Interest in Enlarged Share Capital (%) | ||
