In aggregate, the Companies are seeking to raise of up to a total of £38 million, with optional over-allotment facilities to raise up to a further £20 million.

The board of directors is pleased to report that, since the Offer was launched, and following strong demand from investors, the Company has received applications for subscriptions totalling in excess of £10.4 million as of 18 December 2019.

In light of continuing strong demand from investors, and after consultation with Mobeus Equity Partners LLP about the updated pipeline of investments being assessed and likely deal completions over the coming 18 months, the board has today confirmed that the optional over-allotment facility of £5 million will be used in relation to the Offer.  This increases the maximum amount which can be raised under the Offer in respect of the Company to a total of £20 million.

The Offer will close on 31 March 2020, or earlier in the event that it becomes fully subscribed.
