Transaction
Braveheart Investment Group (AIM:
BRH), announces the acquisition of 65,415,862 ordinary shares of
0.1 pence each in IQ-AI Limited ("IQ-AI"), representing 29.51% of the
issued share capital of IQ-AI, for a total consideration of
£719,574.48.
45,761,083 shares in IQ-AI have been
purchased from Trevor Brown, CEO of Braveheart, at a price of 1.1
pence per share, for a consideration of £503,371.91. A further
19,654,779 shares in IQ-AI Shares have been purchased from Free
Association Books Limited ("FAB"), a company owned by the children
of Trevor Brown, also at a price of 1.1p per IQ-AI share for a
consideration of £216,202.57.
IQ-AI is an imaging software and
healthcare diagnostics company, whose subsidiaries include Imaging
Biometrics, LLC ("IB") and
Stone Checker Software Limited. IB is a healthcare imaging software
company that supplies medical technology solutions, regulatory
consulting services and has a neuroimaging product portfolio. Stone
Checker Software Limited is a supplier of technology solutions in
the field of kidney stone analysis and kidney stone prevention.
IQ-AI's ordinary shares are listed on the main market of the London
Stock Exchange. Trevor Brown is the CEO of IQ-AI.
In the year ended 31 December 2023,
IQ-AI made a loss before tax of approximately £0.62 million on
revenue of approximately £0.6 million and as at that date had net
assets of approximately £0.09 million. As at 30 June 2024, IQ-AI
had net assets of approximately £0.43 million.
The independent directors of Braveheart were offered
an opportunity to acquire a substantial stake in IQ-AI. They
considered that IB is making progress in its Phase 1 Clinical Trial
of gallium maltolate, as reported by IQ-AI on 13 August 2024. The
IQ-AI business fits well with Braveheart's investment strategy and
will make an attractive addition to Braveheart's investment
portfolio at what the board considered is an attractive entry
price.
Related Party Transaction
Trevor Brown and FAB are deemed to
be related parties under the AIM Rules for Companies. The
independent directors, being Qu Li, Susan Hagan and Vivian Hallam,
consider, having consulted with Allenby Capital Limited, the
Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of the purchase of the
IQ-AI shares is fair and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of
Braveheart are concerned.
