Mobile Streams plc
("Mobile Streams", the "Company" or the "Group")
Capital Raise of up to GBP300,000
Mobile Streams plc (AIM: MOS), the AIM quoted mobile content and
data intelligence company, today announces its intention to conduct
a non pre-emptive placing of new ordinary shares in the Company
("Ordinary Shares") ("Offer Shares") to raise gross proceeds of up
to GBP300,000 (the "Capital Raise") to fund the expansion of its
operations in Mexico and for PLC working capital.
The Capital Raise will comprise of:
- An institutional placing (the "Placing") that will be
conducted through an accelerated book building process (the
"Bookbuilding Process"), which will be launched immediately
following this Announcement, and will be made available to new and
existing eligible investors; and
- A retail offer of new Ordinary Shares in the Company via the
BookBuild platform (the "Retail Offer"). The Retail Offer aims to
provide existing retail investors in the UK with an opportunity to
participate in the
Capital Raise. A separate announcement has been made regarding the Retail Offer .
The Capital Raise is in line with the Company's stated
intentions as announced on 12 December 2023, as part of the
expansion and strategy update alongside the direct subscription for
shares by certain investors, Directors and PDMRs of the Company
(the "Subscription").
Given the time that has elapsed since the Subscription was
announced and following stakeholder engagement, the Company has
determined to reduce the issue price to 0.06 pence per New Ordinary
Share (the "Offer Price"), representing a premium to the Closing
Mid-Market Price on 8 January 2024 of approximately 14%; there will
also now be no warrants attached to these New Ordinary Shares.
The Placing is subject to the terms and conditions set out in
Appendix 1 to this Announcement. Panmure Gordon (UK) Limited
("Panmure Gordon") are acting as Sole Bookrunner in connection with
the Placing. The issue and allotment of the new Ordinary Shares
will be within the existing authorities of the Company's board of
directors.
It is expected that the Bookbuilding Process will close at the
same time as the Retail Offer, being 4.30pm on 11 January 2024,
however the timing of the closing of the book and allocations
remain at the discretion of the Company and Panmure Gordon, and the
Bookbuilding Process may close earlier than the Retail Offer.
Rationale for the Capital Raise & Use of Proceeds
As announced, MOS and its partners intend to create one of the
largest Sports Media Groups in Mexico, by partnering with one of
the largest media publishers in Mexico, namely Capital Media Group,
together with the co-owner of Necaxa football club, the co-owner of
Atlante football club, the co-owners of Capital Media Group and the
Neme family, which owns Alive Sports Entertainment, one of Mexico's
biggest sports event businesses.
The Company's existing wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Mobile
Streams of Mexico, S.de R.I, intends to pay MXN 5m to obtain a 10%
shareholding in Capital Media Sports, which has a strategy seeking
to acquire a number of sporting publications under which it has
signed heads to terms to acquire Estadio, a major existing heritage
sports media publication in Mexico formerly owned by Capital News
S.A ("Capital News" and part of the Capital Media Group), as the
first of these. Capital Media Sports will, according to the HOT
(Heads of Terms), acquire all associated IP for the print and
digital operations of the publication.
Initially Capital Media Sports will acquire the assets and IP of
Estadio. Given its limited recent operations, there is no financial
information regarding Estadio to report under Schedule 4 of the AIM
Rules. Following the acquisition of the interest in Capital Media
Sports, MOS and its partners will, subject to regulatory approvals,
then fund the launch of two associated companies, Estadio Bet
("Bet") and Estadio Talk ("Talk"), in which MOS will have a 25%
interest (together the "Investment").Bet will be a betting company
using the sports publication brand to deliver online gambling and
betting services to Mexican consumers and Talk will be a 'Talk
Sport' style podcast service, also utilising the brand.
To fund the costs of the Investment, including the Company's
share of launch and development of Bet as well as to fund ongoing
working capital, the Company undertook a Company led subscription
with various investors and certain Directors to raise gross
proceeds of GBP675,000 (including GBP100,000 of shares being issued
in lieu of accrued Directors' and Management's fees). Each
Subscriber will also receive one for one warrants exercisable at
0.15p that have a 12 month term, are non-transferable and will not
be listed.
It is expected that GBP250,000 of the Subscription proceeds will
be allocated towards funding the launch and development of Bet. The
target for the launch of Bet is early Q2 2024 and Talk shortly
thereafter, subject to funding.
The three businesses will, it is hoped, provide for cross
advertising and marketing opportunities. Along with that, Capital
Media Group's 25 media channels including print, online, radio and
television channels will advertise the sports publication brand,
promoting these services to an estimated 25m plus audience reach
from launch. At the same time, MOS's Heroes NFTclub service will be
advertised across all these channels.
MOS will sign service agreements with both Bet and Talk and the
expected contracted fee arrangements from these agreements for
services provided to Bet and Talk are expected to generate
substantial revenue for the Company. MOS expects the combined
impact of these agreements, revenue synergy opportunities and cost
transfers, to get the Company to cash breakeven within 12
months.
Immediate additional benefits for MOS include:
-- Revenue synergy opportunities for its existing content
portfolio - Live Scores sites, NFTs and the sports publication
audience;
-- Advertising, sponsorship and editorial opportunities within publication branded assets;
-- Potential future dividend payments from Capital Media Sports
and proceeds from any liquidity events, should they come to
fruition;
-- Strategic positioning being enhanced within Mexico and the LATAM region.
Details of the Capital Raise
The Capital Raise is expected, to raise gross proceeds of up to
GBP0.3m , comprising the Placing and the Retail Offer. The total
number of new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Capital
Raise (the "Offer Shares") will be announced by the Company at the
close of the Bookbuild process. The Company will rely on the
allotment and disapplication of pre-emption rights authorities
granted by shareholders to the Company at its annual general
meeting ("AGM") held on 31 January 2023.
The Capital Raise is not conditional upon the approval by the
Company's shareholders.
Details of the Placing
The Placing is subject to the terms and conditions set out in
Appendix to this Announcement.
The Company has today entered into a placing agreement with the
Sole Bookrunner in relation to the Placing (the "Placing

Placing Shares to be issued to Placees in connection with the
Placing will be determined by the Company and Sole Bookrunner

Announcement. The timing of the closing of the Bookbuilding
Process, the number of Placing Shares and allocations are to be

announced as soon as practicable after the close of the
Bookbuilding Process. The Placing is not being underwritten.

Company in favour of the Sole Bookrunner relating to the Group and
its business. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the
Sole Bookrunner and their affiliates in relation to certain
liabilities they may incur in respect of the Placing. The Sole
Bookrunner can terminate the Placing Agreement at any time prior to

breach of the warranties given in the Placing Agreement, the
failure of the Company to comply with its obligations under the
Placing Agreement or, the occurrence of a force majeure event or a

conduct a Retail Offer, on the terms to be set out in a separate
announcement to be made by the Company.

whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any
"manufacturer" (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance
Requirements and/or any equivalent requirements elsewhere to the
extent determined to be applicable) may otherwise have with respect
thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval
process, which has determined that the Placing Shares are: (i)

or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an
appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating

resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom.

appropriate distribution channels.

MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID

liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which
any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product
Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto,

Details of the Placing Agreement and the Placing Shares
Panmure Gordon and the Company entered into a Placing Agreement
earlier today, under which Panmure Gordon has, on the terms and
subject to the conditions set out therein, undertaken to use its

proceeds. The Placing is not being underwritten by Panmure Gordon
or any other person.
The Placing Shares are expected to be issued on or around 15

Placing Shares.
The Placing Shares will trade under MOS with ISIN

Application for admission to trading of the Placing Shares
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the
Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. A dmission of the
Placing Shares expected to take place on 15 January 2024
("Admission").
Placing
This Appendix gives details of the terms and conditions of, and
the mechanics of participation in, the Placing. No commissions will
be paid to Placees or by Placees in respect of any Placing Shares.
The principal terms of the Placing are as follows:
1. Panmure Gordon is arranging the Placing as agent for, and
broker to, the Company. Panmure Gordon is regulated by the FCA, and
is acting exclusively for the Company and no one else in connection
with the matters referred to in this Announcement and will not be
responsible to anyone other than the Company for providing the
protections afforded to its customers or for providing advice in
relation to the matters described in this Announcement.
2. The price payable for the Placing Shares is fixed at 0.06p (the "Issue Price").
3. The number of Placing Shares to be issued at the Issue Price
under the Placing will be agreed between Panmure Gordon and the
Company.
4. Participation in the Placing is only available to persons who
are lawfully able to be, and have been, invited to participate by
Panmure Gordon. Panmure Gordon is entitled to participate in the
Placing as principal.
5. Each Placee's allocation has been or will be confirmed to
Placees orally, or in writing (which can include email), by Panmure
Gordon and a trade confirmation or contract note has been or will
be dispatched as soon as possible thereafter. Panmure Gordon's oral
or written confirmation will give rise to an irrevocable, legally
binding commitment by that person (who at that point becomes a
Placee), in favour of Panmure Gordon and the Company, under which
it agrees to acquire by subscription the number of Placing Shares
allocated to it at the Issue Price and otherwise on the terms and
subject to the conditions set out in this Announcement and in
accordance with the Company's articles of association. Except with
Panmure Gordon's consent, such commitment will not be capable of
variation or revocation.
6. As noted above, each Placee's allocation will, unless
otherwise agreed between the Placee and Panmure Gordon, be
evidenced by a trade confirmation or contract note issued to each
such Placee by Panmure Gordon. The terms and conditions of this
Announcement (including this Appendix) will be deemed to be
incorporated in that trade confirmation, contract note or such
other confirmation and will be legally binding on the Placee on
behalf of which it is made and except with Panmure Gordon's consent
will not be capable of variation or revocation from the time at
which it is issued.
7. Each Placee will have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and
binding obligation, owed to Panmure Gordon (as agent for the
Company), to pay to Panmure Gordon (or as Panmure Gordon may
direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the
Issue Price and the number of Placing Shares such Placee has agreed
to acquire and the Company has agreed to allot and issue to that
Placee.
8. Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or
other announcement will be made by Panmure Gordon or the Company
using the name of any Placee (or its agent), in its capacity as
Placee (or agent), other than with such Placee's prior written
consent.
9. Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation
pursuant to the Placing is confirmed, settlement for all Placing
Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Placing will be required to
be made at the same time, on the basis explained below under
"Registration and Settlement".
10. All obligations of Panmure Gordon under the Placing will be
subject to fulfilment of the conditions referred to below
"Conditions of the Placing" and to the Placing not being terminated
on the basis referred to below under "Right to terminate under the
Placing Agreement".
11. By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its
rights and obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate
only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable
of rescission or termination by the Placee.
12. To the fullest extent permissible by law and the applicable
rules of the FCA, neither Panmure Gordon nor any of its Affiliates
or any of its officers, directors, employees, consultants or agents
shall have any liability to Placees (or to any other person whether
acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise whether or not a
recipient of these terms and conditions) in respect of the Placing.
Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that the Company is responsible
for the allotment of the Placing Shares to the Placees and Panmure
Gordon and its Affiliates and officers, directors, employees,
consultants or agents shall have no liability to the Placees for
the failure of the Company to fulfil those obligations. In
particular, neither Panmure Gordon nor any of its Affiliates shall
have any liability (including to the extent permissible by law, any
fiduciary duties) in respect of Panmure Gordon's conduct of the
Placing.

Date) (the Admission Condition).
If: (i) any of the conditions contained in the Placing
Agreement, including but not limited to those described above, are

not proceed and the Placees' rights and obligations hereunder in
relation to the Placing Shares shall cease and terminate at such

Panmure Gordon may, at its discretion and upon such terms as it
thinks fit, waive, or extend the period for, compliance by the
Company with the whole or any part of any of the Company's
obligations in relation to the conditions in the Placing Agreement,
save that the condition relating to Admission taking place by the
Long Stop Date may not be waived. Any such extension or waiver will
not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this Announcement or
its Appendix. Placees will have no rights against Panmure Gordon,
the Company or any of their respective Affiliates under the Placing
Agreement pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act
1999 (as amended) or otherwise.
Neither Panmure Gordon, the Company nor any of their respective
Affiliates or officers, directors, employees, consultants or agents

whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of
any decision they may make as to whether or not to waive or to

satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing

that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of Panmure
Gordon.

2. any statement contained in any of the Placing Documents (as

constitute a material omission therefrom; or
3. in the opinion of Panmure Gordon, there is a material adverse
change in the financial position, business or prospects of the
Group; or
4. in the opinion of Panmure Gordon, the results of any due
diligence or expert investigations and examinations conducted by or
on behalf of Panmure Gordon or the Company are not, in any material
respect, satisfactory with respect to the Company or its Group;
or
5. there has been a breach of any Warranty or any fact or

repeated at any time on or before Admission by reference to the
facts or circumstances subsisting at the time of repetition; or
6. the Company has failed in any material respect to comply with
the Companies Act 2006, FSMA, the Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules, the Market Abuse Regulation or the Prospectus

arrangements relating to the Estadio Newcos are materially amended
or proposed to be materially amended; or

its obligations under the Placing Agreement; or

that in its opinion (acting in good faith), Admission would

Admission is unlikely to be granted by the London Stock
Exchange.
If the Placing Agreement is terminated prior to Admission then
the Placing will not occur.
The rights and obligations of the Placees will not be subject to
termination by the Placees or any prospective Placees at any time
or in any circumstances. By participating in the Placing, Placees
agree that the exercise by Panmure Gordon of any right of
termination or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall
be within the absolute discretion of Panmure Gordon and that
Panmure Gordon need not make any reference to Placees in this
regard and that neither Panmure Gordon nor any of its Affiliates
shall have any liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with
any such exercise or failure so to exercise.
No Prospectus
The Placing Shares are being offered to a limited number of
specifically invited persons only and have not been nor will be
offered in such a way as to require the publication of a prospectus
in the United Kingdom or any equivalent document in any other
jurisdiction. No offering document or prospectus has been or will
be submitted to be approved by the FCA or the London Stock Exchange
in relation to the Placing or the Placing Shares, and Placees'
commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information
contained in this Announcement (including this Appendix) and the
business and financial information that the Company is required to
publish in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies (the
"Exchange Information") or which it has otherwise announced by
means of a Regulatory Information Service ("Publicly Available
Information"). Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the
Placing, agrees that the content of this Announcement is
exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms that it
has neither received nor relied on any other information (other
than the Exchange Information/Publicly Available Information),
representation, warranty, or statement made by or on behalf of the
Company or Panmure Gordon or any other person and neither Panmure
Gordon, the Company nor any other person will be liable for any
Placee's decision to participate in the Placing based on any other
information, representation, warranty or statement which the
Placees may have obtained or received and, if given or made, such
information, representation, warranty or statement must not be
relied upon as having been authorised by Panmure Gordon, the
Company or their respective officers, directors, employees,
consultants or agents. Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it
has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or
other position of the Company in accepting a participation in the
Placing. Neither the Company nor Panmure Gordon are making any
undertaking or warranty to any Placee regarding the legality of an
investment in the Placing Shares by such Placee under any legal,
investment or similar laws or regulations. No Placee should
consider any information in this Announcement to be or constitute
legal, tax or business advice. Each Placee should consult its own
solicitor, tax adviser and financial adviser for independent legal,
tax and financial advice regarding an investment in the Placing
Shares. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of
any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.
Registration and Settlement
Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares will, unless
otherwise agreed, take place on a delivery versus payment basis
within CREST. Each Placee will be deemed to agree that it will do
all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is
completed as directed by Panmure Gordon in accordance with the
standing CREST settlement instructions which they have in place
with Panmure Gordon.
Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN:
GB00B0WJ3L68) following Admission will take place within the system
administered by Euroclear UK & International Limited ("CREST")
provided that, subject to certain exceptions, Panmure Gordon
reserves the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the
Placing Shares (or a portion thereof) to Placees by such other
means that it deems necessary if delivery or settlement is not
possible or practicable within CREST within the timetable set out
in this Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory
requirements in any Placee's jurisdiction.
It is expected that settlement of the Placing Shares will be on
15 January 2024 unless otherwise notified by Panmure Gordon and
Admission is expected to occur by 15 January 2024 or such later
time as may be agreed between the Company and Panmure Gordon, not
being later than the Long Stop Date.
Each Placee allocated Placing Shares in the Placing will be sent
a trade confirmation or contract note stating the number of Placing
Shares allocated to it at the Issue Price, the aggregate amount
owed by such Placee to Panmure Gordon (as agent for the Company)
and settlement instructions. Each Placee agrees that it will do all
things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed
in accordance with either the CREST or certificated settlement
instructions that it has in place with Panmure Gordon. Settlement
will be through Panmure Gordon (UK) Limited, against CREST
participant account: 83801. For the avoidance of doubt, Placing
allocations are expected to be booked with a trade date of 11
January 2024 and settlement date of 15 January 2024 in accordance
with the instructions set out in the trade confirmation.
The Company will instruct its registrar to deliver the Placing
Shares to the CREST account operated by Panmure Gordon as agent for
the Company and Panmure Gordon will enter its delivery (DEL)
instruction into the CREST system. The input to CREST by a Placee
of a matching or acceptance instruction will then allow delivery of
the relevant Placing Shares to that Placee against payment.
If a Placee wishes to receive its Placing Shares in certificated
form, it should contact Panmure Gordon (UK) Limited (+44 (0)20 7886
2500) as soon as possible after receipt of the allocation
confirmation.
Placees who wish to receive their Placing Shares in certificated
form are expected to receive their certificates for their Placing
Shares within 14 days of allotment, provided payment in full has
been made.
Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from
Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out
above at the rate of two percentage points above SONIA as
determined by Panmure Gordon.
Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with
these obligations, Panmure Gordon may sell any or all of the
Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and
retain from the proceeds, for Panmure Gordon's account and benefit
(as agent for the Company), an amount equal to the aggregate amount
owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will,
however, remain liable and shall indemnify Panmure Gordon on demand
for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be
required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or
securities transfer tax (together with any interest or penalties)
which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such
Placee's behalf. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, each
Placee confers on Panmure Gordon such authorities and powers
necessary to carry out any such sale and agrees to ratify and
confirm all actions which Panmure Gordon lawfully takes in
pursuance of such sale. Legal and/or beneficial title in and to any
Placing Shares shall not pass to the relevant Placee until it has
fully complied with its obligations hereunder.
If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or
settlement agent, Placees should ensure that any form of
confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant
person within that organisation.
Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or
that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee
is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such
Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered
free from any liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax
or securities transfer tax. Neither Panmure Gordon nor the Company
will be liable in any circumstances for the payment of stamp duty,
stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax in connection
with any of the Placing Shares. Placees will not be entitled to
receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

which are given to Panmure Gordon for themselves and on behalf of

The provisions of this Appendix may be waived, varied or
modified as regards specific Placees or on a general basis by
Panmure Gordon.
The agreement to settle a Placee's subscription (and/or the
subscription of a person for whom such Placee is contracting as
agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax depends on the
settlement relating only to a subscription by it and/or such person
direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. Such
agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not being subscribed
for in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or
to transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there
are any such arrangements, or the settlement relates to any other
subsequent dealing in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty
reserve tax may be payable, for which neither the Company or
Panmure Gordon will be responsible, and the Placee to whom (or on
behalf of whom, or in respect of the person for whom it is
participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the
allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares has
given rise to such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax
undertakes to pay such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax
forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold
harmless the Company and Panmure Gordon in the event that any of
the Company and/or Panmure Gordon have incurred any such liability
to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case,
each Placee should seek its own advice and notify Panmure Gordon
accordingly.
In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for
any stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer,
registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any
interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the
UK by them or any other person on the subscription by them of any
Placing Shares or the agreement by them to subscribe for any
Placing Shares.
This Announcement has been issued by, and is the sole
responsibility, of the Company. No representation or warranty
express or implied, is or will be made as to, or in relation to,
and no responsibility or liability is or will be accepted by
Panmure Gordon or by any of its Affiliates, officers, directors,
employees, consultants or agents as to or in relation to, the
accuracy or completeness of this Announcement or any other written
or oral information made available to or publicly available to any
interested party or its advisers, and any liability therefore is
expressly disclaimed.
References to time in this Announcement are to London time,
unless otherwise stated.
All times and dates in this Announcement may be subject to
amendment.
No statement in this Announcement is intended to be a profit
forecast, and no statement in this Announcement should be
interpreted to mean that earnings per share of the Company for the
current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed
the historical published earnings per share of the Company.
The price of shares and any income expected from them may go
down as well as up and Placees may not get back the full amount
invested upon disposal of the shares. Past performance is no guide
to future performance, and persons needing advice should consult an
independent financial adviser.
The Placing Shares to be issued or sold pursuant to the Placing
will not be admitted to trading on any stock exchange other than
AIM.

Product Governance Requirements
1. Solely for the purposes of the product governance
requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on
markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b)
Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Production Intervention and Product
Governance Sourcebook (the "UK Product Governance Requirements");
and (c) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU)
2017/593 supplementing MiFID II and UK MiFID II; and (d) local
implementing measures (together, the "Product Governance
Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether
arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer"
(for the purposes of the Product Governance Requirements) may
otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been
subject to a product approval process, which has determined that
the Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market
of: (a) retail investors, (b) investors who meet the criteria of
professional clients and (c) eligible counterparties (each as
defined in the Product Governance Requirements); and (ii) eligible
for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted
by Product Governance Requirements (the "Target Market
Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment,
distributors should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may
decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment;
the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital
protection; and an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible
only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital
protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate
financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources
to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target
Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any
contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation
to the Placing.
2. For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does
not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness
for the purposes of the Product Governance Requirements; or (b) a
recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in,
or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to
the Placing Shares.
3. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own
target market assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and
determining appropriate distribution channels.
