Result of Retail Offer

 

Further to the announcement made by the Company on 28 April 2023, ZOO Digital Group plc, a leading provider of end-to-end cloud-based localisation and media services to the global entertainment industry, announces that it has raised gross proceeds of £162,787.20 pursuant to its retail offer via the BookBuild Platform from existing retail shareholders ("Retail Offer"). A total of 101,742 new ordinary shares of £0.01 each ("Retail Offer Shares") will be issued at 160 pence per Retail Offer Share.

 

Consequently, an application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the admission of 101,742 Retail Offer Shares to trading on AIM ("Retail Offer Admission"). Retail Offer Admission is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on or around 12 May 2023.

 

The Retail Offer Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue.

 

Following Retail Offer Admission, the Company's issued and fully paid up shares capital will consist of 97,763,933 ordinary shares, all of which carry one voting right per ordinary share. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares and voting rights in the Company will be 97,763,933. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guide and Transparency Rules.
