The market capitalisation of the Company at the Issue Price is approximately £29.3 million.
Allenby Capital Limited ("Allenby Capital") is acting as Nominated Adviser and Broker in connection with the Fundraising and Admission, with Ocean Wall Limited ("Ocean Wall") acting as a Placing Agent.
Adam Driscoll, Chief Executive Officer of ATC, commented: "Admission to AIM represents a meaningful step forward in ATC's evolution, enhancing the Group's visibility and supporting the next phase of growth as an international, independent music company. AIM provides access to a broad investor base and a platform to achieve our long-term ambitions, and I would like to thank both existing and new shareholders for their support.
"The funds raised will enable us to continue to invest in our range of artist representation and service offerings and accelerate execution of our growth strategy focussed on the continued development of a proprietary data platform. The improved use of this data will sit at the heart of the artist to fan engagement economics that will shape the music industry over the coming years. We look forward to continuing to execute our strategy and delivering long-term value for all stakeholders."
Background, strategy and use of Fundraising proceeds
The Group is engaged with over 900 artist clients across a range of activities that are central to a new music industry opportunity - the monetisation of the artist/fan relationship. With deep sector knowledge in multiple components of an artist's career, including management, live, direct-to-fan services and events, the Group is positioned to harness and monetise aggregated fan data across these traditionally disparate commercial streams.
ATC intends to deliver a proprietary B2B system to unlock and activate this fan data, creating an artist-first data engine leading to stronger fan engagement and greater commercial impact.
The Group's growth strategy focuses on expanding its integrated approach to talent management, live booking, live-streaming and artist services while continuing to deepen relationships with artists across multiple service lines.
Through this approach, the Group aims to enable artists to maximise their commercial potential by harnessing and optimising additional sources of fan data, whilst broadening its participation across the music industry's multiple revenue streams.
To deliver its growth strategy, the Group will build artist first ecosystems at scale and continue to employ the following strategies in the respective service areas:
|
· |
Talent acquisition and development - the Group will seek to expand and diversify the number of artist businesses the Group works with by identifying potential new clients, including both emerging talent and established talent seeking new representation, while driving the long-term growth of existing clients' businesses; |
|
· |
Expanding live touring and booking services - the Directors intend to increase the scope and reach of the Group's live booking division; |
|
· |
Data driven growth and fan engagement - the Group has, via its clients, a digital footprint which the Directors believe can be leveraged to increase artists' fan engagement and drive direct-to-fan revenue. The Group intends to scale through the strategic aggregation and deployment of fan data; |
|
· |
Diversifying revenue streams - the Group will seek to expand and strengthen revenue generation by broadening its service capabilities through strategic expansion. The Company is exploring opportunities to acquire or develop complementary businesses that align with the Group's strategy. This approach is designed to enhance long-term value, enhance existing client and artist relationships, and build greater operational resilience; and |
|
· |
Co-creation, co-production and new IP generation - the Company aims to seize opportunities for co-creating and co-producing new intellectual property ("IP") through live events, experiences, and innovative partnerships. |
The net proceeds of the Fundraising will provide the Company with additional working capital and a strengthened balance sheet to continue this strategy, and primarily be used to:
|
· |
build upon the existing relationships with over 900 artists by bringing in new managers, agents and artist clients; |
|
· |
invest in the Group's technology infrastructure and data integration to enable the delivery of enhanced 'direct-to-fan' services on behalf of artists; |
|
· |
strengthen the management team, for additional expertise and bandwidth as the Group expands; and |
|
· |
further develop the Group's merchandise and wider service operations. |

Craig Newman, Executive Director of ATC, has invested £585,000 in the Fundraising and therefore, from Admission, he will have a total interest in 1,864,683 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 7.96 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.
In addition, James Patterson, Group COO, has invested £100,000 in the Fundraising and therefore, from Admission, he will have a total interest in 80,000 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 0.34 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.

Board changes

Total voting rights
The Company now has 23,421,467 ordinary shares of £0.01 each in issue, each with one voting right. There are no shares held in treasury. Therefore, the Company's total number of Ordinary Shares in issue and voting rights is 23,421,467 and 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 FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
