For immediate release: 17 October 2022
B90 Holdings plc
("B90", the "Company" or "Group")
Publication of Circular and Notice of EGM
B90 Holdings plc (AIM: B90), announces that it has today
published a circular to shareholders (the "Circular"), and a Notice
of Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company ("Notice"), in
response to shareholder requisitions which were notified to the
market on 20 September 2022 and 27 September 2022.
The Extraordinary General Meeting will be held at 10.00 a.m. on
7 November 2022 at BDB Pitmans LLP, One Bartholomew Close, London
EC1A 7BL .
The Circular and Notice will be posted to shareholders
today.
In the two requisitions, the Requisitioning Shareholders have
proposed four resolutions in total:
1. The removal of Karim Peer as Executive Chairman and as a director of the Company;
2. The appointment of Mr Ronny Ingvar Breivik as a director of the Company;
3. The appointment of Mr Martin Fleisje as a director of the Company; and
4. The removal of Mr Nigel Eastwood as a director of the Company.
The Board recommends that shareholders vote against all four
proposed resolutions for, inter alia, the following reasons:
-- The Board believes that Ronny Ingvar Breivik ("Mr Breivik")
is unsuitable to be a director of the Company. He has no UK public
market board experience, and since being engaged by B90 Ventures
Ltd, he has materially underperformed operational expectations,
ultimately resulting in his demotion.
-- The Board does not believe that Mr Breivik is committed to
the Company, having recently served conditional notice terminating
his engagement with B90 Ventures Ltd. The Board understands he is
taking a full time role with another company, SoftSwiss. We
question why Shareholders should support the removal of the current
full time and committed Executive Chairman and appointment of
someone who has served notice terminating his role with the Company
and is seemingly taking another role elsewhere. The Board further
questions Mr Breivik's belief in the proposals put forward by the
Requisitioning Shareholders, given his proposed exit.
-- The Company does not believe that Martin Fleisje ("Mr
Fleisje") will bring any value to the Board. Based on his CV, he
does not appear to have any relevant sector experience or UK public
market experience. He appears to be a non-board CFO of a Norwegian
company, Induct AS, with the majority of his career, so far as the
Board is aware, having been spent in wealth management.
-- The Board believes that the Requisitioning Shareholders'
proposals are self-serving, for their own benefit, and to the
detriment of the Company and all its Shareholders.
-- Neither the Requisitioning Shareholders, nor the proposed
directors, have outlined any operational or strategic plan or
vision for the Company; nor do they, individually or collectively,
have any experience running a UK public market company.
-- No reasons whatsoever have been provided or outlined for
seeking to remove the existing Directors, Karim Peer and Nigel
Eastwood.
-- The removal of Nigel Eastwood, a properly appointed
independent non-executive Director, from the Board, will be
detrimental to the Company's corporate governance compliance.
-- The Company needs the senior management stability it now has
in place, as it has historically experienced much change in the
executive leadership team.
-- The Board believes the actions by the Requisitioning
Shareholders have been operationally and financially detrimental to
the Company. These actions have diverted valuable management time
and B90's limited financial resources away from the Group's
day-to-day needs, and, in particular, have hindered the Company's
ability to secure available funding and pursue potential
acquisition opportunities.
-- Under the existing management, led by Karim Peer, the Company
is in the advanced stages of a turnaround strategy, and operational
and financial progress has been and is being achieved.
Mark Rosman, Senior Non-Executive Director, B90 said:
"There is no evidence that the removal of Karim Peer and Nigel
Eastwood from their positions, and the appointment of Ronny Breivik
and Martin Fleisje as directors, would benefit the Company or its
shareholders.
"Karim and Nigel have the full backing of the Board, and the
directors will be voting against their removal in their capacities
as shareholders of the Company. All shareholders are strongly urged
to vote against all four resolutions."
The full letter from Senior Non-Executive Director, Mark Rosman,
to shareholders is set out below. Unless the context requires
otherwise, definitions used in this announcement and the letter
below will have the same meaning as ascribed to them in the
Circular. The Circular will shortly be available on the Company's
website.

LETTER FROM THE SENIOR NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
17 October 2022
To Shareholders and, for information only, to holders of options
over Ordinary Shares
Dear Shareholder,
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
Introduction
The Company announced on 20 September 2022 that it had received
a letter on behalf of a group of Shareholders who own (or are
beneficially interested in), in aggregate, 20.2% of the Company's
issued share capital ("Requisitioning Shareholders") requisitioning
an extraordinary general meeting of the Company under section 67(2)
of the Isle of Man Companies Act 2006 (the "Requisition") to
consider and if thought fit, approve resolutions 1 to 3 set out
below.
The Requisitioning Shareholders comprise Performance Media SIA,
Hans Michael Hansen and Jens Johan Sundet. Performance Media SIA is
owned by Ronny Breivik, Toma Rimac, Thomas Mathiesen, Alf Indseth
and Frode Sylliasen. The first four named owners of Performance
Media SIA are engaged in a consulting capacity by the Group. Until
recently, Frode Sylliasen worked as a contractor on the Group's
support desk before having his contract terminated on 15 August
2022. Similarly, Jens Sundet works for the Group as a support team
member. Hans Michael Hansen ("Mr Hansen") is a shareholder with a
current interest of approximately 7.6% in the Company, and with
whom the Board have had previous interactions, as more fully
described below.
Subsequently, on 26 September 2022, the Requisitioning
Shareholders wrote to the Company to request that a further
resolution, resolution 4, be considered at the EGM.
Accordingly, the Requisitioning Shareholders propose four
resolutions in total:
1. The removal of Karim Peer as Executive Chairman and as a director of the Company;
2. The appointment of Mr Ronny Ingvar Breivik as a director of the Company;
3. The appointment of Mr Martin Fleisje as a director of the Company; and
4. The removal of Mr Nigel Eastwood as a director of the Company.
The Requisitioning Shareholders have provided no explanation or
justification for the proposed board changes.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMS SHAREHOLDERS
VOTE AGAINST ALL THE RESOLUTIONS
1. Reasons Why Shareholders Should VOTE AGAINST ALL Resolutions
-- The Board believes that Ronny Ingvar Breivik ("Mr Breivik")
is unsuitable to be a director of the Company. He has no UK public
market board experience, and since being engaged by B90 Ventures
Ltd, he has materially underperformed operational expectations,
ultimately resulting in his demotion.
-- We do not believe that Mr Breivik is committed to the
Company, having recently served conditional notice terminating his
engagement with B90 Ventures Ltd. The Board understands he is
taking a full time role with another company, SoftSwiss. We
question why Shareholders should support the removal of the current
full time and committed Executive Chairman and appointment of
someone who has served notice terminating his role with the Company
and is seemingly taking another role elsewhere. We further question
Mr Breivik's belief in the proposals put forward by the
Requisitioning Shareholders, given his proposed exit.
-- The Company does not believe that Martin Fleisje ("Mr
Fleisje") will bring any value to the Board. Based on his CV, he
does not appear to have any relevant sector experience or UK public
market experience. He appears to be a non-board CFO of a Norwegian
company, Induct AS, with the majority of his career, so far as we
are aware, having been spent in wealth management.
-- The Board believes that the Requisitioning Shareholders'
proposals are self-serving, for their own benefit, and to the
detriment of the Company and all its Shareholders.
-- Neither the Requisitioning Shareholders, nor the proposed
directors, have outlined any operational or strategic plan or
vision for the Company; nor do they, individually or collectively,
have any experience running a UK public market company.
-- No reasons whatsoever have been provided or outlined for
seeking to remove the existing Directors, Karim Peer and Nigel
Eastwood.
-- The removal of Nigel Eastwood, a properly appointed
independent non-executive Director, from the Board, will be
detrimental to the Company's corporate governance compliance.
-- The Company needs the senior management stability it now has
in place, as it has historically experienced much change in the
executive leadership team.
-- The Board believes the actions by the Requisitioning
Shareholders have been operationally and financially detrimental to
the Company. These actions have diverted valuable management time
and B90's limited financial resources away from the Group's
day-to-day needs, and, in particular, have hindered the Company's
ability to secure available funding and pursue potential
acquisition opportunities.
-- Under the existing management, led by Karim Peer, the Company
is in the advanced stages of a turnaround strategy, and operational
and financial progress has been and is being achieved.
Further detail is set out below.
Unsuitability of Ronny Ingvar Breivik
-- The Board considers Mr Breivik to be completely unsuitable to act as a director of B90.
o Mr Breivik has materially underperformed operational
expectations since joining the Group in April 2021, resulting in
his demotion.
o Mr Breivik was engaged by the Group in April 2021 to drive
revenues within the business, and was originally earmarked, by the
Board, for a role as an executive director of B90. Since that time,
he has consistently failed to meet expectations and his agreed
targets, requiring the Company first to reduce his responsibilities
and subsequently, to undertake an extensive search to identify and
recruit a Chief Revenue Officer, Mark Good, to oversee and manage
Mr Breivik's role.
o Further, it has become clear to each member of the Board
(other than Nigel Eastwood, who only recently joined the Board),
having worked with Mr Breivik, that, in addition to his
underperformance, he failed to possess the necessary skills or the
level of expertise to fulfil the role of a director of a UK public
market company. Each member of the Board, apart from Nigel
Eastwood, determined that he should concentrate on his operational
role within the Group and focus on improving his own performance
and that of his team, rather than being promoted to the Board.
o Mr Breivik has neither UK public market experience, nor has he
demonstrated a detailed understanding of the AIM regulatory
environment at board level.
-- Mr Breivik's actions have demonstrated that he is not committed to the Group.
o Mr Breivik has tendered his conditional termination of his
role with the Group. The Board understands he is taking a full time
role with SoftSwiss, a platform provider to the betting and gaming
industry. We question why a company in which he is a substantial
shareholder, Performance Media SIA, would propose the removal of
the current Executive Chairman, who is committed to completing the
turnaround of B90, at the same time as seeking his own appointment
to the Board yet resigning his current position and taking a full
time role elsewhere. The Board questions whether he has any belief
in the proposed changes to B90's leadership under the Requisition,
as he is currently seeking to secure employment elsewhere.
Unsuitability of Martin Fleisje
-- The Board considers Mr Fleisje to be unsuitable to be a
director of B90 and does not believe that he will add value to the
Board.
-- We note that Mr Fleisje had recently interviewed with the
Company for a non-executive Board position at the instigation of Mr
Hansen. Mr Hansen is a shareholder, through his investment company,
in Mr Fleisje's current employer, Induct AS. Mr Fleisje has not
progressed discussions with the Company regarding a potential role.
The Board is therefore perplexed that Mr Fleisje should now be
supportive of joining the Company through the Requisition process.
The Board questions why he would have interviewed following the
request from Mr Hansen that he do so, if he had been aware that he
was about to be put forward for appointment by the Requisitioning
Shareholders pursuant to the Requisition.
-- Based on the Company's knowledge of Mr Fleisje's experience
and the recent interview process, it is unclear what value or
relevant experience he would bring to the Board. Based on his CV,
it would appear that he has spent the majority of his career in the
wealth management sector, in Norway.
-- The Board does not believe that Mr Fleisje has any UK public
market experience, nor does he appear to have any previous
experience of the AIM regulatory environment. He does not, in the
Board's view, have the requisite skills to fulfil the requirements
to be a non-executive director of the Company.
Seemingly self-serving actions by the Requisitioning
Shareholders to the detriment of B90 and shareholders as a
whole
-- The actions of certain of the Requisitioning Shareholders
have been capricious. In the days leading up to the Requisition,
the Company had engaged in discussions with Mr Hansen, and had
agreed to consider some of Mr Hansen's proposed appointees, subject
to them being suitable and regulatory requirements being satisfied.
Further, having advised Mark Rosman and Karim Peer, in writing, on
23 August 2022 that he was accepting of Karim Peer on the Board, Mr
Hansen nevertheless then joined in the serving of the Requisition
in September seeking the removal of Karim Peer, who had only just
been re-appointed as a Director at the Company's Annual General
Meeting on 14 September 2022, without giving any prior notice. The
Board, having agreed at the request of Mr Hansen to interview Mr
Fleisje as a potential director, with such discussions being placed
on hold until publication of the interim results, then received a
requisition to appoint Mr Fleisje without any explanation.
-- We are further perplexed given that Mr Breivik has recently
publicly expressed confidence in Karim Peer's leadership and
business acumen.
-- Notwithstanding these somewhat confusing actions and despite
positive efforts by the Board, Mr Hansen has shown no willingness,
nor has he been receptive, to enter into direct constructive
dialogue or engagement with the Board since the serving of the
Requisition.
-- Such actions have only served to distract management time
from the important focus on Group operations for the benefit of all
shareholders, at a crucial time given the impending 2022 Football
World Cup.
Requisitioning Shareholders' and proposed directors' complete
lack of strategy
-- The Requisitioning Shareholders, Mr Breivik, and Mr Fleisje
have failed to outline any operational or strategic plan or vision
for the Company. The Requisitioning Shareholders have failed to
explain why or how the Company and its shareholders as a whole
would be better served by the proposed Board changes. It is
therefore considered likely that their proposed appointments,
coupled with the removal of Karim Peer and Nigel Eastwood, could
result in a reversal of recent progress made by the Company.
-- The Requisitioning Shareholders have failed to explain what
roles the proposed directors would fulfil. Accordingly, it cannot
be considered how the proposed Resolutions would impact the Board's
structure, efficacy and working towards compliance with the QCA
Corporate Governance Code.
No grounds provided for removal of existing Directors
-- The Requisitioning Shareholders have failed to put forward
any reasons why Karim Peer and Nigel Eastwood should be removed
from their respective positions.
-- The Requisitioning Shareholders have not demonstrated any
benefit(s) to Shareholders that would result from the removal of
Karim Peer and Nigel Eastwood from their respective positions.
-- The Requisitioning Shareholders have also failed to
communicate any benefits to the Company or its Shareholders that
would result from the appointment of the new proposed directors,
despite a number of requests to Mr Hansen and his lawyers in
particular to engage in constructive dialogue.
Removal of current independent non-executive Director, and
appointment of potentially non-independent directors, would be
detrimental to the Company's Corporate Governance compliance
-- On 16 May 2022, the Company announced its intention to
appoint at least one independent non-executive director to enhance
the composition of the Board. In line with that intention, the
Company announced the appointment of Nigel Eastwood to the Board on
25 September 2022 to strengthen the Company's corporate governance,
and to augment the Board's experience and expertise as it pursues
its growth strategy.
-- Nigel Eastwood's appointment as an independent non-executive
Director, made with the support of the Company's key advisers, is
the culmination of a diligent and thorough recruitment process over
several months and bolsters the Company's capabilities. At a time
when the Company is focussed on enhancing corporate governance and
actively pursuing the appointment of further Board and governance
enhancing candidates, the Requisitioning Shareholders wish to
remove the only independent non-executive and put in place two
further seemingly non-independent directors.
-- Nigel Eastwood has substantial experience in digital customer
acquisition and driving online engagement, with strong and valuable
emerging market experience, thereby complementing the gaming
knowledge already within B90.
-- It is extremely surprising that the removal of Nigel Eastwood
has been proposed so soon after his appointment (the second
requisition proposing Nigel Eastwood's removal having been received
the same day that his appointment was announced), given his
demonstrable independence and skillset, which will enhance the
Board's governance practices, experience, and expertise,
particularly when the Requisitioning Shareholders have not had any
engagement or dialogue with him.
Strong management in place, led by Karim Peer, and substantial
operational and financial progress achieved
-- The existing leadership team has proven experience in UK
public market board roles and in the sector.
-- Karim Peer has led the Company astutely since he was
appointed as B90's Non-Executive Chairman in December 2021, later
becoming Executive Chairman in May 2022, when he assumed a more
managerial role involved in driving the day-to-day operations of
the Company. Under his leadership, over the last four months, he
has progressed the stabilisation and ongoing turnaround strategy of
the Group, and the Company has begun to execute its strategic
growth plan and expansion into new markets.
-- Karim Peer has the right experience and credibility in the
market to conclude the turnaround strategy and lead B90 through the
next phase of its corporate growth, having previously been a key
member of the team that grew OpenBet, a provider of betting and
gaming solutions, to over GBP56 million in revenues, before
successfully selling the company at a valuation in excess of GBP200
million.
-- Karim Peer also has a deep understanding of the UK public
market environment and the AIM market in particular, having
previously led the team at Financial Objects plc to a successful
trade sale generating a substantial premium to the then prevailing
share price.
-- B90 now has stable and proficient management in place, a
stronger operational foundation, and a clear growth strategy which
is evidently being implemented. In the Company's Interim Results
for the six months ended 30 June 2022, released on 23 September
2022, B90 set out the following highlights for the period:
o A 150% increase in revenue up to EUR1 million (H1 2021: EUR0.4
million);
o The strategic launch of Spinbookie, which operates in
different yet complementary markets to B90's existing operations,
most notably South America;
o The completed integration of Oddsen.nu, a Norwegian sports-bet
affiliate site;
o The acquisition of Tippen4You, an established forum platform
focused on the German market; and
o Continued improvement in trading during July and August 2022
(post period end).
-- Arden, the Company's broker has recently published equity
research, a copy of which can be found by registering at:
https://research.arden-partners.com/portal/portal.html#/home
Key points highlighted by the research report include:
o B90 is an entrepreneurial gaming business, with strong growth
potential and a 'buy and build' story. The Group is a challenger
brand in the Gaming industry, with a focus on two core divisions:
1) betting and gaming websites and 2) media platforms and affiliate
marketing. B90 generates value through online gaming revenue and
marketing commission from other platforms.
o Commenting on results they note that: "Recent H1 2022 results
show an encouraging trend: B90 reported revenue up 150% to EUR1m
(vs H1 2021: EUR0.4m), reflecting the impact of recent
acquisitions: Spinbookie and Oddsen. There is no debt, and the
company has successfully raised equity capital in 2022. Outlook:
Current trading is said to be solid. Meanwhile, the focus is now on
the 2022 World Cup in Qatar (Nov). We believe this event will
increase traffic to the Group's sites, helping grow its player base
and player LTV. We expect this to positively impact H2 22 revenues.
Further out, growing FY 22/23 revenues, along with smart marketing
investment, should help to reduce operating losses and give
investors more visibility on the path to cash generation."
o Commenting on the Company's strategy they add: "The Group
plans to add further value generating acquisitions, leveraging its
centralised Sofia back office to drive efficiency. Organic growth
is to be driven by marketing, site traffic and subsequently higher
gaming volumes. Acquisition of affiliate databases allows easier
cross-selling of brands, promoting customer retention and lowering
the cost of acquisition. Senior management has a background in
gaming technology, which should also be a corporate competitive
advantage."
o Summarising the opportunity, they conclude: "Global gambling
is a huge addressable market, with online taking a growing % share.
B90 is well placed to deliver a scalable platform for i-gaming
entertainment, taking the lead in new and lightly regulated
regional markets, and working with strategic partners."
The Company needs stability
-- The Company has historically experienced much change in the
executive leadership team, however now has a stable and competent
team at Board level.
-- Removing Karim Peer from his position will only lead to a
return to instability and will unsettle employees, contractors,
regulators, partners, shareholders and other stakeholders and erode
market confidence.
The Company's growth is being materially disrupted by the
Requisitioning Shareholders, and its limited resources are being
diverted from driving shareholder value.
As a direct result of the Requisitioning Shareholders'
actions:
-- The Company has missed the opportunity to undertake what the
Board believed to be a transformational, earning accretive
acquisition of an affiliate business operating in existing and new
territories.
-- The Company is incurring significant legal, regulatory and
other costs in dealing with the Requisitioning Shareholders'
action, currently estimated to be in excess of GBP70,000 (and which
will increase materially should redundancy costs become payable),
and recently aborted funding discussions which would have provided
development capital to allow the business to increase marketing
spend at a critical time ahead of the 2022 Football World Cup in
Qatar.
2. Concluding Statement
Karim Peer and Nigel Eastwood have the full backing of the
Board, and the Directors will be voting against their removal in
their capacities as Shareholders of the Company.
The process instituted by the Requisitioning Shareholders is
self-serving and not in the benefit of all shareholders. It is
distracting to the Company and its senior management, costing
valuable time and money that would be better spent on continuing
the achievement of B90's financial and operational goals,
particularly at such an important time in the run up to the 2022
Football World Cup.
As outlined above, there is no evidence that the removal of
Karim Peer and Nigel Eastwood from their positions and the
appointment of Mr Breivik and Mr Fleisje as directors, would
benefit the Company or its Shareholders. In fact, the Board believe
that it would lead to a period of operational and financial
instability that would DESTROY SHAREHOLDER VALUE and substantially
ERODE MARKET CONFIDENCE.
You are strongly urged to support your Board and VOTE AGAINST
ALL RESOLUTIONS.
3. Due diligence on proposed directors
Any appointments to the board of an AIM company are subject to
the satisfactory completion of regulatory due diligence and
appropriateness checks by the Company's Nominated Adviser. None of
the proposed directors put forward as part of the Requisition has
been subject to full due diligence, including the commissioning of
up to date third party due diligence reports, or been approved by
Strand Hanson, the Company's Nominated Adviser. Strand Hanson has
commenced this process in line with its requirements under the AIM
Rules for Companies and AIM Rules for Nominated Advisers.
Should Strand Hanson determine that any of the proposed
directors are not suitable to act as directors of the Company, or
not have sufficient time to allow it to make an informed assessment
of the proposed appointees, including the commissioning of external
third party due diligence reports, Strand Hanson may be forced to
consider its position as nominated adviser to the Company. In the
event that Strand Hanson were to resign as nominated adviser, the
Company's ordinary shares would be suspended from trading
immediately and, under the AIM Rules for Companies, the Company
would then have one month to replace Strand Hanson as nominated
adviser, failing which the Company's admission to trading on AIM
would be cancelled.
