Fundraising
The Company has today conditionally raised £355,000 (before expenses) through a Company arranged Subscription at the Issue Price. The Subscription is conditional on the passing of the Resolutions at the General Meeting.
In addition, the Company will issue new warrants "(Warrants") pursuant to the Fundraising on the basis of one Warrant for every four Subscription Shares. Holders of the Warrants may subscribe for one new Ordinary Share in the Company at a price of 0.095p for 24 months commencing on issuance.
The Issue Price compares to the closing mid-market price per share of 0.06p on 10 November 2025 (being the last practicable date prior to the announcement of the Subscription). Subject to shareholder approval, the Company will issue 747,368,421 new Ordinary Shares ("Subscription Shares") pursuant to the Subscription.
The proceeds (before expenses) from the Subscription, amounting to £355,000, will be used to develop the commercialisation of CIQ, new business opportunities and provide general working capital.
In addition, the Company has agreed to settle commissions of £14,750 in respect of the Subscription in new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price, amounting to 31,052,631 new Ordinary Shares ("Fee Shares"), also subject to shareholder approval of the Resolutions.
Current trading
The Company continues to grow the Digital Media division, with continuing profitability of the websites and additional revenue generated from new affiliate deals and monetisation of the division's extensive social media channels.
Connected IQ is in continued discussions with some of the world's largest advertising agencies and has completed full integration into Iris, a leading CTV data platform. The integration has led to some immediate initial revenues and allowed for the potential development of commercial sales in the US market.
Connected IQ has also started work with the development group behind Ad Context Protocol (AdCP). AdCP is an open-source communication protocol that lets AI agents - whether built by advertisers, publishers, or ad tech intermediaries - interact using a common language. By being part of the build-out of what the Company believes is a key part of the future of advertising, we are seeking to position the Company to being one of the leading contextual services providers.
Yentra.AI has been further developing the Evolve product and we aim to start commercial sales within Q1 2026, coupled with academic partnerships. There is a large appetite in the corporate world for products which allow for the transformation of companies to being AI enabled and training models on their internal data and IP in a secure and owned environment.
