NXT plc ("NXT" or the "Company")
Placing
NXT plc, a provider of unique sound solutions, best known for its flat panel
loudspeaker technology, is pleased to announce a placing of 7,481,561 new
ordinary shares of 1 pence each (the "New Ordinary Shares") to raise
approximately GBP1 million (before expenses) (the "Placing"). The Placing is
being priced at 13 pence per New Ordinary Share representing a discount of 7.1
per cent. to the closing share price on 24 February 2010.
The New Ordinary Shares have been placed with Nissha Printing Co. Ltd.
("Nissha"), a licensing partner to NXT, several institutional investors and the
directors of the Company and the proceeds of the Placing will be used to
strengthen the Company's balance sheet.
Peter Thoms, NXT Chief Executive, said: "The objective of this fundraising is to
ensure sufficient resources to exploit the momentum we have built in both our
TouchSound and BMR technologies. TouchSound enables both audio and tactile
feedback from a touch screen. We are very pleased with the demand from
institutions and our licensing partner, Nissha and this exercise to strengthen
our balance sheet has also helped us to expand our institutional shareholder
base."
The Placing was undertaken pursuant to a resolution of the shareholders at the
Company's Annual General Meeting in November 2009 which approved the
disapplication of shareholders' pre-emption rights in relation to the issue of
equity securities up to an aggregate nominal amount of GBP74,815.61.
Application has been made to the Financial Services Authority for the new
ordinary shares to be admitted to the Official List and to the London Stock
Exchange for the new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on the London
Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities. The placing is conditional
upon admission, which is expected to become effective, and dealings in the new
ordinary shares will commence at 8.00 am on 3 March 2010. The placing shares
will, when issued, rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary
shares. Following admission of the New Ordinary Shares it is expected that the
Company will have 158,620,155 ordinary shares in issue.
