TRACKWISE DESIGNS PLC
("Trackwise", the "Company" or the "Group")
Result of Open Offer, General Meeting
and Total Voting Rights
The Board of Trackwise Designs plc (AIM: TWD), a leading manufacturer of
specialist products using printed circuit technology, announces that it has
received valid acceptances from Qualifying Shareholders in respect of
51,056,147 Open Offer Shares. This represents approximately 34.0 per cent. of
the 149,999,860 New Ordinary Shares available under the Open Offer.
The Board also announces that at the General Meeting held earlier today, all
Resolutions were duly passed by Shareholders.
The Company has therefore raised, in aggregate, approximately £4.76 million
(before expenses) through the Placing, Subscription and Open Offer.
Update regarding restoration of trading
On 20 December 2022, the London Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") temporarily
suspended trading in the Company's Ordinary Shares due to a deterioration in
settlement performance. The Exchange will continue to monitor the settlement
situation and when trading is to be restored, the market will be notified by
Stock Exchange Notice. The Company will make further announcements as
appropriate. The Board believes that Admission will result in the settlement
issues in the Company's Ordinary Shares being quickly resolved.
Admission and Total Voting Rights
Application has been made for the 476,356,147 New Ordinary Shares (being the
425,000,000 Placing Shares, 300,000 Subscription Shares and 51,056,147 Open
Offer Shares) to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission
will occur at 8.00 a.m. on 9 January 2023.
Following Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue will be
513,864,212. There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury. Accordingly, the
total number of voting rights in the Company on Admission will be 513,864,212.
This figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the
calculations to 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.
Capital Reorganisation
The Company confirms that the Capital Reorganisation to sub-divide the
Existing Ordinary Shares of 4 pence each into New Ordinary Shares of 0.1 pence
each and Deferred Shares of 3.9 pence each will occur alongside Admission of
the Placing Shares, Subscription Shares and Open Offer Shares on 9 January
2023.
