MediaZest Plc

(“MediaZest”, the “Company”, or the “Group”)

 

Placing to raise £215,000                                 

 

MediaZest plc (AIM: MDZ), the creative audio-visual solutions provider,
announces it has raised £215,000 (before expenses) by means of a Placing (the
"Placing") via the issue of 358,334,950 ordinary shares of 0.01p in the
capital of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") to new and existing investors
(the "Placing Shares") at a price of 0.06 pence per Placing Share (the
“Issue Price”).

 

Details of the Placing
*            MediaZest has raised £215,000 (before expenses), via the Placing
of 358,334,950 Placing Shares each at the Issue Price to both new and existing
investors.          
*            The net proceeds of the Placing will be used for general working
capital purposes, as the Company builds upon recent progress of new client
wins and project roll outs.          
*            The Board is delighted to welcome Dr Graham Cooley as a new
significant shareholder in the Company. Dr Cooley has subscribed for
166,666,650 Placing Shares, equating to 8.11% of MediaZest’s issued share
capital, as enlarged by the Placing.
 

Geoff Robertson, Group Chief Executive of MediaZest plc, commented:

“This Placing will allow the Group to focus on further growth, underpinned
by our recent new client wins and project roll outs. We would like to thank
our long-term shareholders and our new significant cornerstone investor for
their support. Financial Year 2026 has begun strongly, and we look forward to
providing further updates with our Full Year results expected to be released
later this month.”

 

Related Party Transaction

Oberon Investments Limited (“Oberon”), a substantial shareholder in the
Company, has subscribed for 83,333,300 Placing Shares in the Placing. The
Directors of the Company (all of whom are regarded as being independent of
Oberon), having consulted with SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP, the Company’s
nominated adviser, consider that Oberon’s participation in the Placing is
fair and reasonable in so far as shareholders are concerned.

 

Admission to trading on AIM and Total Voting Rights

The Fundraise is conditional on the admission of the Placing Shares to trading
on AIM (“Admission”). Application has been made to the London Stock
Exchange, and it is expected that Admission will be effective at 8.00 am on or
around 9 February 2026.

 

The Placing Shares will be credited as fully paid and will rank               
      pari passu                     in all respects with the existing
Ordinary Shares.

 

Following Admission, the Company's total issued share capital will comprise of
2,054,760,724 Ordinary Shares. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares
in treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights
in the Company will be 2,054,760,724. This figure may be used by shareholders
in the Company 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 share capital of the Company following Admission.

 

The Placing was undertaken by the Company's joint broker Hybridan LLP.
