("Ten Alps", the "Company" or the "Group")
Proposed Acquisition and Loan Agreement
Ten Alps, the TV and multimedia content producer, announces that
it has signed heads of terms to acquire a small corporate video and
storytelling business which specialises in making videos for blue
chip corporate organisations (the "Acquisition").
The Acquisition, which is subject to the satisfactory completion
of due diligence and the share purchase agreement, is expected to
constitute a substantial transaction under Rule 12 of the AIM Rules
for Companies. The Acquisition, which is expected to be earnings
enhancing in the first full year following completion, will further
strengthen Ten Alps' stated strategy of building a video-led
corporate story-telling and content marketing business. The
Acquisition is expected to be completed by 31 March 2016 and
further details will be disclosed in due course.
The Company also announces that it has received a capital
injection amounting to GBP750,000 from Herald Investment Trust plc
("Herald"), an existing substantial shareholder of the Company and
holder of part of the Company's existing long term debt
obligations, via a short-term unsecured loan note (the "Loan").
As detailed in the Company's announcement of 28 January 2016,
the Group has experienced delays in programme commissioning in its
TV division. As a consequence of this, the Company considers it
prudent to strengthen its cash reserves, with the proceeds of the
Loan to be used partly for general working capital requirements and
the balance to be used to fund consideration for the Acquisition.
Interest under the terms of the Loan will be rolled and charged at
an annual rate of 8 per cent. with a repayment date of 10 June
2016.
Given that Herald and its associated parties are a substantial
shareholder, provision of the Loan is a related party transaction
pursuant to Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. The Directors
consider, having consulted with its nominated adviser N+1 Singer,
that the terms of the Loan are fair and reasonable insofar as the
Company's shareholders are concerned.
