The Placing Shares were sold at a price of 60 pence per share ("Placing Price") and represent, in aggregate, approximately 13.4 per cent. of the currently issued share capital of the Company. The new ordinary shares being issued in relation to the Placing represent approximately 9.0 per cent. of the currently issued share capital of the Company.

Following the sell down of 2,025,002 ordinary shares of 0.4 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"), Keith Willis now holds 7,171,273 Ordinary Shares, representing 14.1 per cent. of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company. These shares are subject to a 12 month lock-in.

The participation of the Directors in the Placing constitutes a related party transaction for the purposes of AIM Rule 13.

Martin Varley and Shaun Parker, the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer respectively, are considered to be independent directors for purposes of AIM Rule 13 ("Independent Directors"). As such, the Independent Directors, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, consider the Directors' Participation to be fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

Use of Proceeds

The net proceeds will be used to ensure the Company has flexibility in funding to significantly increase the number of US Channl.com web sites created for distributors and end users, gain traction in terms of their activation and engagement and support the UK launch of Channl.com through the acquisition of certain assets of AdProducts.com Limited, a small UK based supplier of promotional products, for cash consideration of approximately GBP0.8 million (subject to a stock valuation adjustment). A further announcement will be made in due course when the acquisition has completed.

Exercise of Options

The Company further announces that on 17 May 2017, 300,000 Ordinary Shares were issued and allotted pursuant to the exercise of share options.

Application has been made for 4,466,667 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and dealings are expected to commence on 23 May 2017. The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.

The total number of Ordinary Shares in issue following Admission will be 50,845,192. Accordingly, the figure of 50,845,192 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.

Peter Hallett, Executive Chairman of Altitude, commented:

"We are delighted with the support from both new and existing investors in the Company. The funds raised will enable us to accelerate the rollout of Channl.com in the US and UK and we look forward to updating the market over the coming year."
