Exercise of Warrants

 

On 14 October 2019, the Company announced that had agreed to issue warrants to Jonathan Bixby, through his Company Toro Consulting Ltd and to certain directors conditional on the completion of the initial fundraising in connection with the Company's esports investment portfolio.  The warrants granted included warrants over 300,000,000 new ordinary shares with an exercise date of 6 November 2020 and an exercise price of 0.1p per share. 

 

The Company was notified on 6 November 2020 that shareholders including Anthony Fabrizi, a director of the Company, had exercised warrants over 95,000,000 new ordinary shares ("New Ordinary Shares").  The exercise of the warrants has raised £95,000 for the Company and the remainder of the warrants due to mature on 6 November 2020 have now expired.

 

Following the exercise and expiry of warrants detailed above, the Company has warrants outstanding over 1,299,333 new ordinary shares of which 707,666 warrants are exercisable at 0.175p on or before 8 June 2021 and 591,667 warrants are exercisable at 0.25p on or before 6 November 2021.

 

In connection with his exercise of warrants, Anthony Fabrizi notified the Company on 6 November 2020 that, on the same day, he sold 10,000,000 shares in the Company at an average price of 0.152p.
