Completion of the Disposal

Consequently, the disposal of Immedia Broadcast Limited has completed today.

 

AIM Rule 15

In accordance with AIM Rule 15, the Disposal constitutes a fundamental change of business of the Company. The Company has ceased to own, control or conduct all or substantially all, of its existing trading business, activities or assets.

 

Following completion of the Disposal therefore, the Company will become an AIM Rule 15 cash shell and, as such, will be required to make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute(s) a reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14 (including seeking re-admission as an investing company (as defined under the AIM Rules)) on or before the date falling six months from Completion or be re-admitted to trading on AIM as an investing company under the AIM Rules (which requires the raising of at least £6 million), failing which the Company's Ordinary Shares would then be suspended from trading on AIM pursuant to AIM Rule 40. Admission to trading on AIM would be cancelled six months from the date of suspension should the reason for the suspension not be rectified during that period.

 

Any failure in completing an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute(s) a reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14, including seeking re-admission as an investing company (as defined under the AIM Rules), will result in the cancellation of the Company's Ordinary Shares from trading on AIM.

 

Market conditions may also have a negative impact on the Company's ability to make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute(s) a reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14. There is therefore no guarantee that the Company will be successful in meeting the AIM Rule 15 deadline as described above.

 

Board Changes & New Company Secretary

Executive Directors, Ross Penney and John Trevorrow, have stepped down from the Board with immediate effect, with the three Non-Executive Directors, Tim Hipperson, Simon Leathers, and Mark Horrocks remaining.

 

A new Company Secretary, AMBA Secretaries Limited has been appointed.

 

Change of Name and Registered Office

At today's General Meeting, shareholders approved the change of Company's name to Immediate Acquisition Plc. The change of name is being processed by Companies House and will take effect on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange once this has occurred. The Company's TIDM, IME.L, will remain unchanged.

 

Immedia Broadcast Limited will continue to trade under that name.

 

The Company has changed its registered office to c/o Charles Russell Speechlys LLP, 5 Fleet Place, London, EC4M 7RD.

 

Tim Hipperson, Non-executive Chairman, commented:

"The disposal of Immedia Broadcast Limited signals a change of direction for both the Company's shareholders and the management of Immedia Broadcast Limited.  I want to thank Ross and John, in particular, for their contribution to the Group over many years and wish them every success in the future."
