NEKTAN PLC
("Nektan", the "Company" or the "Group")
Delay in publication of annual audited accounts and update on
commercial progress
Nektan plc (AIM: NKTN), the fast growing, award-winning
international gaming technology platform and services provider,
announces that it is in advanced stages of a significant
restructuring of the Group's operations, including the potential
sale of its UK B2C operations. As a result, the Company is unlikely
to be able to publish its audited annual report and accounts for
the year ended 30 June 2019 (the "Accounts") by 31 December 2019,
as required by Rule 19 of the AIM Rules for Companies (the "AIM
Rules").
Due to the likely delay in publishing of the Company's Accounts,
dealings in the Company's ordinary shares is expected to be
temporarily suspended from trading on AIM under AIM Rule 40, with
effect from 7.30 a.m. on Thursday 2 January 2020 until such time as
the Accounts have been duly published in compliance with AIM Rule
19. The Group expects that this will be during January 2020.
Update on commercial progress
In its international B2B and B2C divisions, the Group continues
to experience strong interest from potential partners globally.
Further to the update on 18 September 2019, the Group is pleased to
report that it is ahead of expectations and on track to complete 20
new site launches by the end of December 2019. In addition, the
Group has a strong pipeline of further launches scheduled for Q1
calendar 2020. The Board continues to expect these launches to be
transformational, with a number of these partners expected to
deliver significant revenues to Nektan once fully established,
which is considered typically to be 3 to 4 months after going live.
Notwithstanding that, the Group is pleased that a number of the new
launches have started producing revenue underpinning confidence in
the Group's B2B division and validating the decision to restructure
in order to dedicate resources to these opportunities.
Notwithstanding the likely temporary suspension of trading in
the Ordinary Shares, the Company will continue to make
announcements as and when required by the AIM Rules.
