WRAP Retail Offer for up to
£150,000
TEAM plc ("TEAM" or the "Company"), the wealth, asset management
and complementary financial services group, is pleased to announce
a retail offer via the Winterflood Retail Access Platform
("WRAP") to raise up to
£150,000 (the "WRAP Retail
Offer") through the issue of new ordinary shares of no par
value in the Company ("Ordinary
Shares"). Under the WRAP Retail Offer up to 1,500,000
new Ordinary Shares (the "WRAP
Retail Offer Shares") will be made available at a price of
10 pence per share.
In addition to the WRAP Retail Offer and as
announced earlier today, the Company is also proposing a placing
and subscription of new Ordinary Shares (the "Equity Fundraise Shares" and together
with the WRAP Retail Offer Shares, the "New Ordinary Shares") to raise
approximately £1.07m (before expenses) through a bookbuild process
(the "Placing") at a price
of 10 pence per Placing Share (the "Placing Price"). The Placing Price
represents a discount of approximately 13 per cent. to the
mid-market closing price of an Ordinary Share on 2 December 2024
(being the latest practicable date prior to this announcement). The
issue price of the WRAP Retail Offer Shares is equal to the Placing
Price.
A separate announcement has been made regarding
the Equity Fundraise and its terms and sets out the reasons for the
Equity Fundraise and use of proceeds. The proceeds of the
WRAP Retail Offer will be utilised in the same way as the proceeds
of the Placing.
For the avoidance of doubt, the WRAP Retail
Offer is not part of the Equity Fundraise. Completion of the WRAP
Retail Offer is conditional, inter alia, upon the completion of the
Equity Fundraise but completion of the Equity Fundraise is not
conditional on the completion of the WRAP Retail Offer.
The WRAP Retail Offer and the Placing are
conditional on the New Ordinary Shares being admitted to trading on
AIM ("Admission"). It is
anticipated that Admission will become effective and that dealings
in the New Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM, on or around 20
January 2025.
WRAP Retail
Offer
The Company values its retail shareholder base
and believes that it is appropriate to provide its existing retail
shareholders in the United Kingdom the opportunity to participate
in the WRAP Retail Offer.
Therefore, the Company is making the WRAP
Retail Offer open to eligible investors in the United Kingdom,
being existing shareholders of TEAM plc, following release of this
announcement and through certain financial
intermediaries.
Existing shareholders can contact their broker
or wealth manager to participate in the WRAP Retail
Offer.
The WRAP Retail Offer is expected to close at
4:30pm on 9 December 2024. Eligible shareholders should note that
financial intermediaries may have earlier closing times.
Retail brokers wishing to participate in the
WRAP Retail Offer on behalf of existing retail shareholders, should
contact wrap@winterflood.com.
To be eligible to participate in the WRAP
Retail Offer, applicants must be a customer of a participating
intermediary and, as at the date hereof or will be, prior to
placing an order for WRAP Retail Offer Shares, shareholders in the
Company which may include individuals aged 18 years or over,
companies and other bodies corporate, partnerships, trusts,
associations and other unincorporated organisations.
There is a minimum subscription of £100 per
investor under the WRAP Retail Offer. The terms and conditions on
which investors subscribe will be provided by the relevant
financial intermediaries including relevant commission or fee
charges.
The Company reserves the right to scale back
any order under the WRAP Retail Offer at its discretion. The
Company reserves the right to reject any application for
subscription under the WRAP Retail Offer without giving any reason
for such rejection.
It is vital to note that once an application
for WRAP Retail Offer Shares has been made and accepted via an
intermediary, it cannot be withdrawn.
The New Ordinary Shares will, when issued, be
credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with
existing Ordinary Shares including the right to receive all
dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after
their date of issue.
It is a term of the WRAP Retail Offer that the
total value of the WRAP Retail Offer Shares available for
subscription at the Placing Price does not exceed
£150,000.
The WRAP Retail Offer is offered in the United
Kingdom under the exemption from the requirement to publish a
prospectus in section 86(1)(e) of FSMA. As such, there is no need
for publication of a prospectus pursuant to the Prospectus
Regulation Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, or for
approval of the same by the Financial Conduct Authority. The WRAP
Retail Offer is not being made into any jurisdiction other than the
United Kingdom.
No offering document, prospectus or admission
document has been or will be prepared or submitted to be approved
by the Financial Conduct Authority (or any other authority) in
relation to the WRAP Retail Offer, and investors' commitments will
be made solely on the basis of the information contained in this
announcement and information that has been published by or on
behalf of the Company prior to the date of this announcement by
notification to a Regulatory Information Service in accordance with
the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules, the Market Abuse Regulation (EU Regulation No.
596/2014) ("MAR") and MAR as it forms part of United Kingdom law by
virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as
amended).
Investors should make their own investigations
into the merits of an investment in the Company. Nothing in this
announcement amounts to a recommendation to invest in the Company
or amounts to investment, taxation or legal advice.
It should be noted that a subscription for WRAP
Retail Offer Shares and investment in the Company carries a number
of risks. Investors should take independent advice from a person
experienced in advising on investment in securities such as the
WRAP Retail Offer Shares if they are in any doubt.
An investment in the Company will place capital
at risk. The value of investments, and any income, can go down as
well as up, so investors could get back less than the amount
invested.
Neither past performance nor any
forecasts should be considered a reliable indicator of future
results.
