TruFin plc completes £10m fundraising
On 22 March 2022, the Company announced a proposed Placing to raise £8.0
million and Open Offer to raise up to a further approximately £2.0 million
(both amounts before expenses) through the issue of, in aggregate, up to
13,360,739 New Ordinary Shares at an issue price of 75 pence per New Ordinary
Share.
The Company is pleased to announce that at its General Meeting held earlier
today, all of the Resolutions set out in the circular published on 24 March
2022 were duly passed.
Further to this, the Company can now confirm that it will issue, pursuant to
the Placing and Open Offer, in aggregate, 13,360,739 New Ordinary Shares at 75
pence per New Ordinary Share, raising approximately £10.0 million. The issue
of New Ordinary Shares will be split as follows:
· 10,666,666 New Ordinary Shares under the Placing, raising gross
proceeds of £8.0 million; and
· 2,694,073 New Ordinary Shares taken up under the Open Offer, raising
gross proceeds of approximately £2.0 million. Valid acceptances were received
from Qualifying Shareholders in respect of 1,225,003 Open Offer Shares under
their Basic Entitlements, and for 3,956,134 Open Offer Shares under the Excess
Application Facility. Qualifying Shareholders who have validly applied for
Open Offer Shares will receive their full Basic Entitlement. Applications for
Open Offer Shares under the Excess Application Facility will be scaled
back pro rata to the number of Excess Shares applied for by Qualifying
Shareholders under the Excess Application Facility.
Application has been made for 13,360,739 New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to
trading on AIM and it is expected that Admission will become effective and
trading will commence in the New Ordinary Shares at 8.00 a.m. on 12 April
2022.
Following Admission, the total number of voting rights in the Company is
94,182,943. 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 under the FCA's
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Defined terms used in this announcement will have the meanings (unless the
context otherwise requires) set out in the circular dated 24 March 2022, which
