ISSUE OF EQUITY - REPLACEMENT
The following announcement replaces the RNS made on 3 April 2009 with RNS number
0491Q. Dominic Wheatley has subscribed for 4,800,000 of the 60,040,000 new
ordinary shares in the Company, as opposed to 4,000,000 as originally stated.
The full text of the announcement is set out below:
The Directors of Bright Things plc are pleased to announce that the Company has
raised GBP750,500 (before expenses) through the placing of 60,040,000 new
ordinary shares of 1 penny each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary
Shares") at 1.25 pence per share ("Placing Price") (the "Placing").
Details of the Placing
Pursuant to the powers granted to the Directors at the Extraordinary General
Meeting of the Company, held on 30 March 2009, the 60,040,000 new Ordinary
Shares ("Placing Shares") have been conditionally placed by HB Corporate with
investors and Directors at a price of 1.25p per share to raise GBP750,500
(before expenses). The Placing Shares will represent approximately 30.68 per
cent. of the Company's enlarged issued share capital following completion of the
Placing.
The purpose of the funds raised is to provide additional working capital for the
Company as it looks to expand the reach and potential market for its SocialGO
product. Additionally, it will be used to recruit sales and marketing personnel
as well as improving the back office and server capabilities.
The Placing shares will, when issued and fully paid, rank pari passu in all
respects with the existing issued Ordinary Shares. Application has been made for
the Placing Shares to be admitted to AIM. The Placing is conditional, inter
alia, on the admission of the Placing Shares to AIM becoming effective
("Admission"), which is expected to occur on 8 April 2009, when dealings in the
Placing Shares are expected to commence.
Following Admission the Company will have 195,716,328 Ordinary Shares in issue.
