Placing to raise GBP0.5 million
Conversion of Loan Notes
Appointment of Joint Broker
The Board of Intandem, the London based international film group, is pleased to
announce that is has raised GBP500,000, before expenses, through a placing (the
"Placing") of 12,500,000 new ordinary shares of 0.1p (the "Placing Shares") at
a placing price of 4p, representing a premium of 60 per cent. to the closing
mid price on 25 March 2010. The net proceeds of the Placing will be used to
repay an outstanding loan of GBP50,000 and fund the working capital requirement
of the Company as it seeks to expand its operations.
The Board is also pleased to announce that Graham Hampson Silk, a major
shareholder in the Company, has agreed to convert the GBP450,000 convertible loan
note issued in October 2008 by him (the "Loan Note") into 10,000,000 new
ordinary shares of 0.1p at an effective conversion price of 4.5p per share,
representing a premium of 80 per cent. to the closing mid price on 25 March
2010.
The Placing and the conversion of the Loan Note represent the final step by the
Company in the restructuring of its balance sheet. Since September 2009, the
Company has removed approximately GBP7.0 million of liabilities and, following
the fundraising, the only remaining debt is a trade creditor prepayment which,
as at 31 December 2009, equalled approximately GBP192,000.
The Placing Shares and Conversion Shares represent approximately 21.3 per cent.
of the enlarged issued share capital and will rank parri passu with the
existing ordinary shares. Application has been made for the Placing Shares and
the Conversion Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and dealings are
expected to commence at 8.00am on 30 March 2010. Following the issue of the
Placing Shares and the Conversion Shares, the total number of shares in issue
is 105,675,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p each.
Intandem is also pleased to announce the appointment as joint broker Rivington
Street Corporate Finance, who was responsible for the Placing.
Gary Smith, Intandem's Chief Executive commented:
"I am delighted to have completed the successful restructuring of our balance
sheet and we are now focussed on improving the profit and loss account. We
believe that the Placing at a premium to the current share price represents an
endorsement of our strategy and we will continue to work hard to provide a
return to all our shareholders."
