Imaginatik Plc ("Imaginatik" or the "Company")
Issue of Equity
3 September 2008
Imaginatik plc (AIM: IMGK), a leading provider of collaborative innovation and
problem-solving software and processes, is pleased to
announce that it has raised approximately £222,000 before expenses by way of a conditional
placing of 5,550,000 new Ordinary Shares of
0.0625p each (the "Placing Shares") at 4p per Placing Share from institutional placees.
The proceeds of the Placing will be invested in Imaginatik's sales operation in the UK and
US in order to increase follow-through sales
to the Company's major Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 clients.
Application for admission of the Placing Shares ("Admission") has been made and is
expected to occur on 9 September 2008. The Placing is
conditional, amongst other things, on Admission becoming effective.
Following Admission, the Company will have 131,377,799 Ordinary Shares in issue. The
Placing Shares represent approximately 4.22 per
cent. of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company immediately following Admission and
each of the Placing Shares will be credited as
fully paid and free from all liens, equities, charges, encumbrances and other interests and
will, when issued, rank in full for all
dividends and distributions thereafter declared, made or paid after Admission and otherwise
rank pari passu in all respects with, and carry
the same voting and dividend rights as, the existing Ordinary Shares.
The above 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 Company.
The number of Placing Shares does not exceed the number of Ordinary Shares which the
directors of Imaginatik are currently able to allot
and which can be allotted free from statutory rights of pre-emption under existing authorities
from shareholders passed at the annual
general meeting of the Company which was held on 10 July 2008.
The Placing is to be carried out on behalf of the Company by WH Ireland Limited ("WHI") on
the terms of a placing agreement dated 2
September 2008 and which contains warranties and indemnities from the Company in relation to
Admission, the Placing and certain aspects of
the Company's financial and trading position. Under this agreement, WHI has agreed to act as
agent of the Company to use its reasonable
endeavours to procure subscribers for the Placing Shares. The Placing is not being
underwritten.
Mark Turrell, Chief Executive of Imaginatik, commented: "Following an improved start to
the current financial year we felt the time was
right to raise additional funds in order to capitalise on the current strong growth in the
innovation and problem-solving market. Having
achieved a market leading position, with an extensive blue-chip client base and award-winning
software, this timely funding injection from
our investors will enable an acceleration of our international growth plans creating
additional long-term shareholder value."
