PDMR Dealing
Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this Announcement shall
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Appendix II of the Company's
announcement issued at 4.47 p.m. on 4 February 2026, unless the context
requires otherwise.
Dillistone Group Plc (AIM:DSG), the supplier of software and services for
recruiters, confirms, further to its announcement of 4.47 p.m. on 4 February
2026 it has successfully closed the Placing and Subscription.
Result of Placing and Subscription
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions referred to below, the Placing
has raised, in aggregate, gross proceeds of approximately £0.05 million
through the placing of 550,000 Placing Shares to investors at a price of 10
pence per share. The Subscription has raised approximately £1.45 million
through the issue of 14,450,000 Subscription Shares.
The allotment and issue of the Placing Shares and Subscription Shares is
conditional, inter alia, upon:
· Resolution 1 being passed at the General Meeting;
· the Placing Agreement and the Subscription Agreement not having
been terminated prior to Admission and becoming unconditional in all respects;
and
· Admission having become effective.
Accordingly, if any of such conditions are not satisfied or, if applicable,
not waived, the Placing and the Subscription will not proceed.
Neither the Placing nor the Subscription is being underwritten by Zeus Capital
Limited ("Zeus") or any other person.
The Placing Agreement contains customary indemnities and warranties from the
Company in favour of Zeus together with provisions which enable Zeus to
terminate the Placing Agreement in certain circumstances, including
circumstances where any of the warranties are found to be untrue, inaccurate
or misleading in any material respect.
Notice of General Meeting and posting of Circular
The Circular, which contains the Notice of General Meeting, and further
details in respect of the Placing and Subscription is expected to be posted to
Shareholders later today and will also be available on the Company's website
www.dillistonegroup.com (http://www.dillistonegroup.com)
The General Meeting will be held on 23 February 2026 at 2:00 p.m.
Admission and Total Voting Rights
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the
Placing Shares and Subscription Shares, a total of 15,000,000 New Ordinary
Shares to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will become effective
and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on
or around 25 February 2026 (or such later date as may be agreed between the
Company and Zeus, but no later than 4 March 2026).
The Placing Shares and Subscription Shares will be issued fully paid and will
rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.
On Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the capital of the
Company in issue will be 35,418,021 with voting rights. 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's share capital pursuant to the Financial
Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
