RNS Number : 1786D B90 Holdings PLC 18 October 2022
18 October 2022
B90 Holdings plc
("B90", the "Company" or "Group")
Director Dealing
B90 Holdings plc (AIM: B90), the online marketing and operating company for
the gaming industry, announces that Mr Ronny Ingvar Breivik has satisfied a
debt owed by Entercreation Limited, a corporate entity majority owned by Mr
Breivik, to The Nestegg BV, a corporate entity wholly owned by Mark Rosman,
Senior Non-Executive Director of B90, by the transfer of, in aggregate,
9,000,000 ordinary shares of no par value in the Company ("Ordinary Shares").
Mr Breivik is a substantial shareholder in Performance Media SIA, one of the
Requisitioning Shareholders proposing, inter alia, the appointment of Mr
Breivik as a director of the Company, as notified to the market on 20
September 2022 and 27 September 2022; about which further information is set
out in the Company's announcement of 17 October 2022 and the circular sent to
the Company's shareholders on that date, which is also available on the
Company's website.
The Board is extremely surprised that Mr Breivik, who together with the
Requisitioning Shareholders, is trying to secure his appointment to the Board,
and the removal of Karim Peer as Executive Chairman and Mr Nigel Eastwood as a
director of the Company, would choose to satisfy the debt owed to The Nestegg
BV in this way, thereby diminishing his interest in the Company's share
capital, at the same time as he is seeking to become a Board Director.
Following the transfer of Ordinary Shares to Mr Rosman, Mr Rosman is now
interested in 23,419,019 Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing 8.3% of
the entire issued share capital of the Company.
The Company reiterates the Board's recommendation that shareholders vote
against all four proposed resolutions at the Extraordinary General Meeting to
be held on 7 November 2022.
Mark Rosman, Senior Non-Executive Director, B90 said:
"We are increasingly confused by the actions of Mr Breivik who, while seeking
to join the Board, has recently served conditional notice terminating his
engagement with B90 Ventures Ltd and is now significantly reducing his
shareholding in the Company. The Board continues to urge all shareholders to
vote against the resolutions at the forthcoming EGM."
