Amendments to Subscription Rights
Dev Clever (LSE: DEV), a leading developer of online and immersive career guidance and development platforms and consumer engagement experiences, is pleased to announce that, further to previous announcements it has agreed with Intrinsic Capital Jersey Limited ("ICJL") to revise the terms of the original investment agreement as follows:
· Due to the substantial increase in the Company's share price since the start of 2021, the longstop date of 30 June 2021 for the fourth investment tranche has been brought forward to 28 February 2021 to coincide with the long-stop date of the third investment tranche giving ICJL the right to subscribe to up to 60,000,000 ordinary shares at a price of 10p per share, totalling up to £6million by no later than 28 February 2021, subject to the publication by the Company of a prospectus approved by the FCA no later than that date. If ICJL has not exercised these subscription rights by 28 February 2021 they will lapse; and
· ICJL's right to receive a warrant to subscribe for 50 million ordinary shares of the Company at 25 pence per share ("Warrant") has also been varied, such that the Warrant may be exercised in full or in part (each time in respect of at least 10 million new ordinary shares of the Company) for a period of 2 years (rather than 3 years as per the original agreement) from the later of: (a) completion of subscription by ICJL for the second investment tranche (as announced 26 January 2021); or (b) the date of the grant of the Warrant. The Warrant will be granted conditional upon the Company's shareholders having given authority to issue and allot all of the warrant shares on a non pre-emptive basis. For the avoidance of doubt neither the grant of the warrant nor its exercise will be conditional on subscription by ICJL for any further investment tranches (other than the second investment tranche). The remaining provisions of the warrant agreement remain unchanged.
Chris Jeffries, Chief Executive Officer of Dev Clever, commented:
"We are pleased to conclude this mutually beneficial outcome with ICJL. We are looking forward to updating shareholders about our trading for the year ended 31 October 2020 and progress since the start of our 2020/21 financial year in the very near term."
