OUTSOURCERY PLC
Update and Suspension of Trading
Outsourcery plc (AIM: OUT, 'Outsourcery' or 'the Company'), the leading Cloud Service Provider and provider of cloud-based unified communications solutions, today provides an update on its working capital facility with its principal secured lender, Vodafone.
Pursuant to the conditions of the working capital facility, Outsourcery has progressed with the previously announced restructuring, including discussions about the disposal of business assets in the immediate term.
Outsourcery has received a number of initial offers for its assets, though the potential proceeds from the current proposals would potentially leave no or limited value to equity shareholders. The Board continues to carefully evaluate approaches for assets as well as a number of further options to strengthen the immediate and long-term financial position of the Company.
While discussions with third parties are ongoing, they have had no material adverse impact on current business activity, with Outsourcery securing new direct customer contracts and continuing with further product development.
While the process continues, the Board has concluded that it is no longer possible to present audited financial results for the year ended 31 December 2015 by 30 June 2016.
As such the Company has requested a temporary suspension of the under-mentioned securities from trading on AIM with immediate effect, pending publication of its audited financial results and the appropriate notification being made in accordance with the AIM Rules.
