Starcom Plc
("Starcom" or the "Company")
Placing
Starcom (AIM: STAR), the AIM technology company specialising in the development of wireless solutions for the remote tracking, monitoring and protection of a variety of assets and people, announces that, in response to investor demand, the Company has conditionally placed 5,000,000 new Ordinary Shares (the "Placing Shares") with new and existing shareholders at a price of 3p per Placing Share to raise £150,000 before expenses (the "Placing"). The Placing Shares were placed by Peterhouse Corporate Finance Limited as the Company's joint broker.
The proceeds of the Placing will be used to provide the Company with additional working capital. Since the placing announced on 21 October 2016, trading has been in line with the Board's expectations.
The Placing
The issue of the Placing Shares is conditional, inter alia, on admission to trading on AIM ("Admission") which is expected to occur at 8.00 am on 29 November 2016. On Admission, the Placing Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.
Total voting rights
Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 152,830,680 Ordinary Shares. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights will be 152,830,680. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
