("Cybit" or "the Company")
Placing and Additional Listing, Change of Nominated Adviser and Broker
Cybit today announces that 166,666,667 new ordinary shares of 0.1p each have
been conditionally placed with institutional investors and one private investor
at a price of 3.0 pence per share. Once completed, this placing will raise
approximately #4.85 million net of expenses for the Company.
These 166,666,667 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each will rank pari passu
with all other ordinary shares now in issue. Application for these new shares to
be admitted to trading on AIM has been made and admission is expected to occur
on 12 November 2003.
The net proceeds of the placing, which was oversubscribed, will be used to
reduce the Company's reliance on factoring, increase its working capital
facilities and further expand the business.
The placing is conditional upon admission of the new shares becoming effective
on or before 12 November 2003 (or such later date as the Company and KBC Peel
Hunt Ltd may agree, being no later than 17 November 2003).
Following admission, the enlarged issued share capital of the Company will be
985,211,017 ordinary shares of 0.1p each.
The Company also announces that KBC Peel Hunt Ltd has been appointed as Cybit's
nominated adviser and broker with immediate effect.
Richard Horsman, chief executive of Cybit, said:
"We are delighted that the consistent progress we have made with the business
over the past 18 months has allowed us to attract a number of 'blue chip'
institutional investors to our shareholder base. The funds raised from this
placing will allow us to accelerate our growth plans in a number of areas and
assist us as we look to further develop our recurring revenue based business
model."
