("Motive Television" or the "Company")
Issue of equity
Motive Television is pleased to announce that, following interest from institutional investors in the Company's announcement yesterday relating to the Company's development of its Tablet TV technology for the UK Freeview platform, it has raised £500,000 through the issue of 3,333,333,333 new ordinary shares of 0.01p each at 0.015p per share ("Placing Shares"). The proceeds will be used to fund an accelerated programme of development for this product and for general working capital purposes. The board has considered the Company's overall medium-term funding needs very carefully and, given the high level of interest in this development in the UK market and its anticipated value in terms of future sales and profits, it has decided that this fundraising is in the best interests of increasing shareholder value.
Application will be made for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission is expected to become effective and dealings are expected to commence on AIM on 21 May, 2013. Following the issue of the shares, the Company will have 13,976,225,847 ordinary shares in issue.
