Fundraising
LightwaveRF plc ("LightwaveRF" or the "Company") is the Internet
of Things ("IOT") provider of the LightwaveRF platform and
connected devices enabling domestic and commercial users to
remotely monitor and control light, heat, power and security by
smartphone, tablet or PC. The Company is pleased to announce that
it has raised approximately GBP215,000 of equity investment from
Committed Capital Financial Services Limited ("Committed
Capital").
Committed Capital, which initially invested GBP1.1m in the
Company in August 2015 for itself and on behalf of its clients, has
made an additional equity injection. The investment at 12.75p per
share represents the mid-market price at which the Ordinary Shares
were quoted on AIM as at close of trading on 5 July 2016, the last
trading day prior to the announcement of the fundraising.
Immediately following Admission, Mainspring Nominees (8) Limited,
acting as nominee for Committed Capital, will be interested in
5,584,930 shares representing 27.14 per cent. of the issued share
capital of the Company.
As an existing holder of greater than 10 per cent. of the issued
share capital of the Company, this transaction is considered a
related party transaction in accordance with Rule 13 of the AIM
Rules for Companies. Accordingly, the independent directors, being
all Directors other than Steve Harris, having consulted with WH
Ireland Limited, the Company's nominated adviser, consider that the
terms of the subscription are fair and reasonable insofar as the
Company's shareholders are concerned.
The additional funding will be used to further accelerate the
company's strategy of connecting to other IoT platforms.
Steve Harris CEO of Committed Capital and LightwaveRF
Non-Executive Director commented on the fundraising: "The Company
has made strong progress since we first invested in enhancing
LightwaveRF's products, creating additional channels to market and
developing sales opportunities. We are delighted to have the
opportunity to make this further investment".
Application for admission to trading on AIM of the 1,703,904 new
Ordinary Shares being issued has been made and admission is
expected to take place on 11 July 2016.
In accordance with the provisions of the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, the Company
confirms that, following these issues, its issued share capital
will comprise 20,574,759 Ordinary Shares of 5p each. All of these
Ordinary Shares have equal voting rights and none of the Ordinary
Shares are held in Treasury. The total number of voting rights in
the Company will therefore be 20,574,759 on Admission. 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 share capital of
the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
