Intuitive Investments Group plc
("IIG" or the "Company")
Equity fundraise of £20.0 million
Further to the announcement on 7 January 2026 detailing the signing of the
agreement with the China Financial Certification Authority ("CFCA") and the
resultant achievement of Milestone 1 of the Helikon Investment Agreement
("Helikon Agreement") and fundraise, IIG is pleased to confirm the equity
fundraise of £20,000,000 by the issue and allotment of 21,854,102 ordinary
shares of 10 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"), fully paid (together, the "New
Ordinary Shares") at a price of 91.5 pence per Ordinary Share.
In line with the Helikon Agreement, the achievement of Milestone 1 to the
agreement triggered their first tranche £5 million equity investment at 91.5
pence a share, representing a pre-money fully diluted valuation of £200
million. In addition, £15.0 million has been raised from other shareholders
who previously indicated their interest to invest on the same terms as the
Helikon Agreement.
As with the previous recent fundraises, the proceeds of the issue will be
invested in Hui10 Inc. ("Hui10"), a technology company leading the digital
transformation of the Chinese lottery and IIG's largest investment. On
completion of this raise, IIG does not intend to raise any additional funds
outside of the future two milestone amounts committed under the Helikon
Agreement, for Hui10 to achieve its strategic goals.
Application has been made for the New Ordinary Shares, which will rank equally
with the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company, to be admitted to trading
on the Specialist Fund Segment of the Main Market, becoming effective in
accordance with the admission and disclosure standards of the London Stock
Exchange. It is expected that admission will become effective and dealings in
New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8:00 a.m. on or around 16(th) January
2026 ("Admission").
Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist
of 240,059,774 Ordinary Shares. Since the Company currently holds no shares
in treasury, the total number of voting rights in the Company will
be 240,059,774. Shareholders may use this figure 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.
