COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF AN
INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING POLICY). IF THE ADMISSION IS
SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE
STATED:
IME has its shares admitted to trading on AIM and in May 2022 disposed of its
main trading subsidiary and became an AIM Rule 15 cash shell. Its main country
of operation is the United Kingdom.
Fiinu intends to be a provider of a consumer banking product, the Plugin
Overdraft ®, which is designed to provide customers with an overdraft
facility without having to change their current account or request an
overdraft from their existing bank. Fiinu's technology arm manages and
develops the platform, using open banking, and once the platform is fully
operational will also look to develop secondary revenue streams by licensing
Fiinu's intellectual property rights.
Fiinu has two subsidiaries - Fiinu 2 Ltd ("Fiinu 2") (to be renamed Fiinu Bank
Limited on Admission) and Fiinu Services Ltd (Fiinu Services"). Fiinu 2 was
issued an "authorised subject to capital" letter by the PRA in relation to its
application for a Part 4A deposit taking licence ("Banking Licence"). This
letter set out certain conditions to the confirmation of the Banking Licence,
principally relating to the PRA and FCA's confirmations of Fiinu 2's capital
adequacy - which will be satisfied by the proceeds of the fundraising and
IME's existing cash balance.
IME (to be renamed Fiinu Group plc) will be the issuer, with the current Fiinu
business acting as the sole operator. Following Admission, IME will own 100%
of Fiinu Holdings Limited which will have two subsidiaries - Fiinu Bank
Limited and Fiinu Services Limited.
The Admission is sought as a result of a reverse take-over under AIM Rule 14.
