Motive Television PLC
("Motive" or the "Company")
Issue of equity and alteration of Bergen Global Opportunity Fund LP ("Bergen") deed
The Company announces that, on 31 December 2014, it received a Conversion Notice from Bergen pursuant to the Convertible Securities Issuance Deed between Motive and Bergen dated 12 May 2014 (the "Deed") to exercise its right to convert £700,000 of existing debt into equity. Accordingly, the Company has allotted 5,000,000,000 ordinary shares of £0.0001 ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of £0.00014 per share to Bergen ("New Ordinary Shares").
Application will be made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission is expected to become effective and dealings are expected to commence on AIM on 8 January 2015. Following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares, the Company will have 51,100,292,428 Ordinary Shares in issue.
Under the terms of the Deed, Bergen has agreed to certain, substantial, limitations on its ability to dispose of the shares following a conversion of the Convertible Securities. Additionally, Bergen does not, and has agreed not to, and to cause its affiliates not to, short-sell the Company's Ordinary Shares.
The Company has also entered into a deed of amendment to alter the terms of the Deed with Bergen. The agreed amendment to the Deed alters the currently outstanding nominal amount of the first convertible security previously issued under the Deed from £939,774 to £1,147,181 (and shall be £447,181 following the Company meeting its obligations under the Deed in relation to the conversion referred to above) in consideration of Bergen foregoing certain rights under the Deed. All the other terms of the Deed remain as previously announced.
