Mobile Stream Plc
("MOS" or the "Company")
Result of General Meeting, Board Changes and Completion of Placing
Mobile Streams plc announces that, at the General Meeting of the Company held earlier today, all of the proposed resolutions, which are set out in full in the Placing Circular dated 5 November 2019 (the "Circular"), were passed.
Accordingly, the Company will proceed with the timetable of principal events outlined in the Circular, namely implementing the share reorganisation, creation of the deferred shares and admission and commencement of dealings in the Placing Shares and Settlement Shares.
As further detailed in the Circular, the Company has agreed to a licence with Krunch on a revenue share basis; specifically, in the initial 12 months the Company will retain all incremental revenue generated by its partnership with Krunch whilst paying Krunch the standard client set-up fees recharged at cost and thereafter on an agreed split of revenue basis. The Company will update investors over the following months as this starts to provide what the Board hopes will be material additional revenues for the Group.
Furthermore, the Company has today appointed Nigel Burton as Non-Executive Chairman, Charles Goodfellow as a Non-Executive Director and Mark Epstein as Chief Operating Officer. Further regulatory details on Nigel, Charles and Mark, as required by AIM Rule 17, are set out in Appendix 1 of this announcement. Jonathan Bill, a Non-Executive Director, has left the Board with immediate effect whilst Peter Tomlinson, formerly Non-Executive Chairman, moves to Non-Executive Director.
Application has been made for the total of 390,491,471 New Ordinary Shares of 0.01p each ("New Ordinary Shares"), including the 221,238,938 New Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Placing and 28,500,000 New Ordinary Shares issued to Simon Buckingham pursuant to the settlement of accrued fees, to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"); such Admission is expected to occur on 27 November 2019.
On Admission, the Placing Shares and Settlement Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of the Company, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared after the date of their issue.
The Company has now reached an amicable out of court severance settlement with a former senior employee of the Company in Argentina who was released in April 2019. Whilst the Company remains hopeful of reducing the agreed settlement if it can, the current settlement entails a one-time cash payment of US$36,000 payable shortly followed by 20 monthly instalments of US$3,500.
Following implementation of the matters approved by Shareholders at the General Meeting, the Company expects to complete the appointment of a Nominated Adviser later today with a view to announcing this at 7.00am tomorrow morning. Accordingly, assuming this happens as expected, the Company expects that trading in the Company's New Ordinary Shares on AIM will resume with effect from 7.30am on 27 November 2019.
Following the issue of the Placing Shares and Settlement, the Company will have 390,491,471 New Ordinary Shares in issue. This figure represents the total voting rights in the Company and may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they can determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Furthermore, following the issue of the Settlement Shares Simon Buckingham is interested in 44,618,650 Shares representing 11.43% of the Company's Enlarged Issued Share Capital.
All terms within this announcement are defined in the Circular dated 5 November 2019.
Simon Buckingham, CEO, said 'We are delighted that Shareholders have overwhelmingly supported the proposals put to them today and the Company can now move forward with the exciting developments it has identified in what we hope is a new chapter as a public company. The agreement with Krunch will hopefully provide the Company with a second revenue stream and with the funds raised under the Placing we hope to be able to increase our marketing spend on our existing mobile platform. I also take this opportunity to thank Jonathan Bill for his contribution to the Company and wish him well for the future whilst welcoming Nigel, Charles and Mark on board.'
