Result of Retail Offer
Further to the announcement dated 22 December 2022, Journeo plc (AIM: JNEO), the information systems and transport technical services group, is pleased to announce that, following the closing of the Retail Offer by BookBuild on 4 January 2023, 333,333 Ordinary Shares will be issued at 105 pence per Retail Offer Share in connection with the Retail Offer, which was significantly oversubscribed.
Allocations were made to existing Shareholders, applying the principles of soft pre-emption. Given the significant demand and the increase of approximately 80 per cent. of the number of Ordinary Shares in issue following the Placing, Subscription and the Retail Offer, existing Shareholders received approximately 54 per cent. of their soft pre-emptive order demand, and where Shareholders applied for less than their soft pre-emptive order demand, they have been allocated approximately 54 per cent. of their order.
Consequently, 6,142,860 Placing Shares, 523,806 Subscription Shares and 333,333 Retail Offer Shares resulting in a total of 6,999,999 new Ordinary Shares will be issued in relation to the Placing, Subscription and Retail Offer, raising total gross proceeds of £7.35 million.
Application will be made for the Placing Shares, Subscription Shares and Retail Offer Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on 16 January 2023 ("First Admission").
The Placing, Subscription, Retail Offer and Acquisition are conditional on, inter alia, (i) the passing of the Resolutions by the requisite majority of Shareholders at the General Meeting convened for 11.00 a.m. on 13 January 2023 and (ii) First Admission.
Following First Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company in issue will be 15,741,249 with each Ordinary Share carrying the right to one vote. There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury and therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company is expected to be 15,741,249. The above figure may be used by Shareholders in the Company 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 share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure, Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Application will be made for the 476,190 Consideration Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on 18 January 2023 ("Second Admission").
Following Second Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company in issue will be 16,217,439 with each Ordinary Share carrying the right to one vote. There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury and therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company is expected to be 16,217,439. The above figure may be used by Shareholders in the Company 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 share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure, Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement have the same meanings as set out in the circular to Shareholders dated 22 December 2022.
