Live Company Group Plc Placing, Subscription to raise £2.2 million and Expansion of Bricklive Zoo

David Ciclitira, Executive Chairman of Live Company Group, said: “I am very excited that the Group is investing in the BRICKLIVE Zoo programme. With the success of our Zoo touring assets at Marwell Zoo and Twycross Zoo in the UK, we have seen significant levels of interest from other zoos across the UK, Europe and the United States. This funding will therefore allow the Group to take advantage of these exciting opportunities and I’m personally delighted to be investing in the Company at this time.”

Live Company Group Plc (LOn: LVCG) today announced an equity fundraise with certain existing investors including David Ciclitira, the Company’s Executive Chairman, of, in aggregate, approximately £2.2 million gross (approximately £2.1 million net).

The Fundraise comprises a conditional placing of 2,084,616 new ordinary shares of 1p each in the capital of the Company to raise approximately £1.36 million (the “Placing”) and a conditional subscription of 1,299,996 new Ordinary Shares to raise approximately £0.84 million, both at a price of 65 pence per share (the “Issue Price”).

The Company will also issue participants in the Fundraise 1.25 warrants for every Placing Share and Subscription Share issued (the “Investor Warrants”). Each Investor Warrant will provide the holder the right to one new Ordinary Share on its exercise. The Investor Warrants will be exercisable at a price of 80 pence for a two year period from the admission of the Placing Shares.

It is expected that the Placing Shares will be admitted to trading on AIM on 25 February 2019, with the Subscription Shares expected to be admitted on 31 May 2019.

Given the significant interest being shown in the Group’s BRICKLIVE Zoo programme, with seven BRICKLIVE Zoo shows already scheduled for 2019, and with the directors of the Company  currently expecting to add an additional seven BRICKLIVE Zoo shows during the year across Europe and the United States, the net proceeds from the Fundraise will be used to, inter alia, finance the expansion of the BRICKLIVE Zoo programme to meet this demand.
