Placing
Further to the announcement
on 01 July 2024
relating to the proposed placing of new common shares in Devolver
(the "Launch
Announcement"), Devolver is pleased to announce that it has
successfully placed a total of 23,917,151 Placing Shares with
investors (conditional on Admission) at a price of
33 pence per Placing Share
which represents a 10 per cent premium to the closing price
on 01 July 2024
(being the latest practicable date prior to the launch of the
placing). The gross proceeds from the Placing are approximately
£7.9 million (equivalent to USD $10 million*). The Placing Shares
represent c. 5.4%
of the issued and outstanding share capital of Devolver.
Zeus acted as Broker in relation to
the Placing.
Application has been made for
the 23,917,151 Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is
expected that Admission will occur at 8.00 a.m. on or around
05 July 2024.
Following Admission of the Placing
Shares, the Company's issued and outstanding share capital will
comprise 468,749,592 common shares. Therefore, following Admission the total number
of shares with voting rights in the Company will be
468,749,592 which 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 provisions in article 7 of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation which are equivalent to rule 5 of the Financial
Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules.
Other than where defined,
capitalised terms used in this announcement have the meanings given
to them in the Launch Announcement.
