Eight Capital Partners plc
("ECP", "Eight Capital" or "the Company")
Launch of EUR25million 4.8% Fixed Rate Five-Year listed
Bonds
Eight Capital Partners plc (AQSE: ECP), whose strategy focuses
on working with, and investing in, technology, media, telecoms and
financial services businesses including listed investing companies,
is pleased to announce the launch of EUR25 million 4.8% Fixed Rate
Five-Year Bonds ("the New Bonds") which are to be listed on the
Vienna Stock Exchange.
The terms of the New Bonds are as follows:
- issue price and redemption at par;
- interest of 4.8% per annum paid quarterly in arrears;
- issue date of 3 September 2021 with a redemption date of 2 September 2026;
- admission to trading on the Vienna MTF as Eight Capital Partners EUR 25.000.000 4.8% 09/2026
As announced recently in the RNS of 25 August 2021, the Company
is seeking to expand its balance sheet by raising new equity
capital and the issue of other securities by the Company in stages,
in the short-term. The creation of the New Bonds is an important
step in the delivery of this strategy. As it moves forward, other
developments may include an equity placing via an open offer to all
shareholders. Warrants and / or other securities may also be
included in the capital raise.
It is expected that the New Bonds will in part be used to
refinance some of the Company's 7% bond that was announced on 29
July 2019, launched to raise up to EUR5 million, of which a total
of EUR3.99 million has been issued to date, with a maturity of 26
July 2022 and which is listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange.
To enable the creation of the New Bonds, an initial tranche of
EUR50,000 has been subscribed in cash at par value by Trumar
Capital LLC ("Trumar"), a substantial shareholder of the Company
controlled by ECP's Chairman Dominic White. The initial tranche of
the New Bonds is to be admitted to trading on the Vienna Stock
Exchange on its multilateral trading facility with effect from
today, Friday 3 September 2021.
Commenting on the New Bond issue, ECP's Chairman, Dominic White,
said: "The Company has been successful in creating and utilising
debt instruments to raise finance. These instruments are useful to
help build scale; it can prove challenging for small companies to
raise meaningful sums through equity alone. This bond issue is the
next step towards enlarging the Company's balance sheet, and it
provides better medium-term visibility since our existing listed
bonds approach maturity in 2022. Over the coming months, I am
expecting ECP to be offering shareholders, historic bondholders and
private creditors, the opportunity to subscribe for new ordinary
shares or listed debt in the Company."
Trumar, a Company beneficially owned by Dominic White, a
director of the Company, is a substantial shareholder of the
Company. Pursuant to AQSE Rule 4.6, the subscription for the Bonds
by Trumar therefore constitutes a related party transaction.
