("Audioboom" or the "Company")
Further issue of shares pursuant to the acquisition of SONR News
Limited
Further to the announcements of 25 January and 1 February 2017
regarding the acquisition of SONR News Limited ("SONR"), the
Company has received a further acceptance of its offer to purchase
the entire issued share capital of SONR.
Accordingly, a further 1,828,913 Consideration Shares will be
allotted and issued to the holder who has accepted the offer, and
these shares will be admitted to trading on AIM on 2 March
2017.
Audioboom is in the process of exercising the squeeze-out rights
available to it under section 979 of the Companies Act 2006 to
acquire, on a compulsory basis, the remaining balance of the issued
share capital of SONR, the consideration for which will be the
remaining 1,943,705 Consideration Shares.
The Acquisition Agreement provides that each of the recipients
of Consideration Shares who have accepted the offer will not be
entitled to dispose of their Consideration Shares for a period of
nine months after the date of admission to AIM. Otherwise, all
Consideration Shares will, when issued, rank pari passu with all
other Ordinary Shares in issue.
On admission of the 1,828,913 Consideration Shares to trading on
AIM on 2 March 2017, the Company's issued share capital will
comprise 695,937,991 ordinary shares of no par value each, which
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 change to their interest in, Audioboom
under the Disclosure and Guidance Transparency Rules.
A further update will be provided in due course.
Capitalised terms used in this announcement have the same
meaning as that prescribed to them in the announcement of 25
January.
