IP Group PLC ("IP Group" or the "Group") - Update on Capital
Raising
Update re potential conditional subscription from Beijing Galaxy
World Group
On 8 June 2017, IP Group announced that Beijing Galaxy World
Group Co. Ltd ("Galaxy World") had made a conditional subscription
of 16,500,000 Capital Raising Shares, equal to GBP23.1m, under the
Placing (the "Galaxy Subscription"). As mentioned in the
announcement of 8 June 2017, the Galaxy Subscription was subject to
Chinese foreign exchange and other regulatory approvals outside the
control of IP Group and Galaxy World and there could therefore be
no certainty of the investment being made. Since that time,
mainstream media has widely reported a tightening by the Chinese
Authorities of certain foreign exchange controls relating to
outbound investment by domestic Chinese institutions.
IP Group has received confirmation from Galaxy World that they
have unfortunately not received the necessary approvals to make the
investment in IP Group and that they will therefore not be
completing the Galaxy Subscription.
As regards IP Group's offer for Touchstone, there is now no
change to the exchange ratio announced on 18 July 2017, and each
Touchstone shareholder continues to be entitled to receive 2.2178
new IP Group Shares for each Touchstone share held (subject to the
conditions set out in IP Group's announcement released on 18 July
2017).
The total issued share capital of IP Group remains 698,513,036
ordinary shares of 2 pence each. This 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 in their interest in, the share capital of
the Company under the FCA's Disclosure, Guidance and Transparency
Rules and under Rule 8 of the Takeover Code.
Capitalised terms used in this announcement have the meanings
given to them in the prospectus published by IP Group in connection
with the Capital Raising on 23 May 2017.
