All Things Considered Group plc (AIM: ATC), a progressive, independent music

As part of the Admission, the Company has successfully raised £8.6 million
(before expenses) by way of a placing (the "Placing") and subscription (the
"Subscription") (together, the "Fundraising") of a total of 6,880,000 new
Ordinary Shares ("Fundraising Shares") at a price of 125 pence per Fundraising
Share (the "Issue Price"). The market capitalisation of the Company at the
Issue Price is approximately £29.3 million.

 

Allenby Capital Limited ("Allenby Capital") is acting as Nominated Adviser and
Broker in connection with the Fundraising and Admission, with Ocean Wall
Limited ("Ocean Wall") acting as a Placing Agent.

 

Adam Driscoll, Chief Executive Officer of ATC, commented: "Admission to AIM
represents a meaningful step forward in ATC's evolution, enhancing the Group's
visibility and supporting the next phase of growth as an international,
independent music company. AIM provides access to a broad investor base and a
platform to achieve our long-term ambitions, and I would like to thank both
existing and new shareholders for their support.

 

"The funds raised will enable us to continue to invest in our range of artist
representation and service offerings and accelerate execution of our growth
strategy focussed on the continued development of a proprietary data platform.
 The improved use of this data will sit at the heart of the artist to fan
engagement economics that will shape the music industry over the coming years.
We look forward to continuing to execute our strategy and delivering long-term
value for all stakeholders."

 

Background, strategy and use of Fundraising proceeds

 

The Group is engaged with over 900 artist clients across a range of activities
that are central to a new music industry opportunity - the monetisation of the
artist/fan relationship. With deep sector knowledge in multiple components of
an artist's career, including management, live, direct-to-fan services and
events, the Group is positioned to harness and monetise aggregated fan data
across these traditionally disparate commercial streams.

 

ATC intends to deliver a proprietary B2B system to unlock and activate this
fan data, creating an artist-first data engine leading to stronger fan
engagement and greater commercial impact.

 

The Group's growth strategy focuses on expanding its integrated approach to
talent management, live booking, live-streaming and artist services while
continuing to deepen relationships with artists across multiple service lines.

 

Through this approach, the Group aims to enable artists to maximise their
commercial potential by harnessing and optimising additional sources of fan
data, whilst broadening its participation across the music industry's multiple
revenue streams.

 

To deliver its growth strategy, the Group will build artist first ecosystems
at scale and continue to employ the following strategies in the respective
service areas:

 

 ·              Talent acquisition and development - the Group will seek to expand and
                diversify the number of artist businesses the Group works with by identifying
                potential new clients, including both emerging talent and established talent
                seeking new representation, while driving the long-term growth of existing
                clients' businesses;
 ·              Expanding live touring and booking services - the Directors intend to
                increase the scope and reach of the Group's live booking division;
 ·              Data driven growth and fan engagement - the Group has, via its clients, a
                digital footprint which the Directors believe can be leveraged to increase
                artists' fan engagement and drive direct-to-fan revenue. The Group intends to
                scale through the strategic aggregation and deployment of fan data;
 ·              Diversifying revenue streams - the Group will seek to expand and strengthen
                revenue generation by broadening its service capabilities through strategic
                expansion. The Company is exploring opportunities to acquire or develop
                complementary businesses that align with the Group's strategy. This approach
                is designed to enhance long-term value, enhance existing client and artist
                relationships, and build greater operational resilience; and
 ·              Co-creation, co-production and new IP generation - the Company aims to seize
                opportunities for co-creating and co-producing new intellectual property
                ("IP") through live events, experiences, and innovative partnerships.

 

The net proceeds of the Fundraising will provide the Company with additional
working capital and a strengthened balance sheet to continue this strategy,
and primarily be used to:

 

 ·            build upon the existing relationships with over 900 artists by bringing in new
              managers, agents and artist clients;
 ·            invest in the Group's technology infrastructure and data integration to enable
              the delivery of enhanced 'direct-to-fan' services on behalf of artists;
 ·            strengthen the management team, for additional expertise and bandwidth as the
              Group expands; and
 ·            further develop the Group's merchandise and wider service operations.

 

Director/PDMR shareholdings

 

Craig Newman, Executive Director of ATC, has invested £585,000 in the

1,864,683 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 7.96 per cent. of the
Company's issued share capital.

In addition, James Patterson, Group COO, has invested £100,000 in the

Board changes

 

The Directors are delighted to confirm that, as previously announced, Cliff
Fluet has now been appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company and
Andy Glover has become Non-Executive Chair of the Board.

 

Total voting rights

 

The Company now has 23,421,467 ordinary shares of £0.01 each in issue, each
with one voting right. There are no shares held in treasury. Therefore, the
Company's total number of Ordinary Shares in issue and voting rights is
23,421,467 and this 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 under the
FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
