Cykel Completes Oversubscribed Capital
raise of circa £750,000 of new capital.
Cykel AI PLC, a UK-based technology company
specialising in artificial intelligence ("AI") products that
can interact with any UI, website, or API using natural language
commands, is pleased to announce an oversubscribed placing by Clear
Capital Markets for a total of 14,285,714 new ordinary shares
("Placing Shares") of £0.01 each in the share capital of the
Company ("Ordinary Shares") at an issue price of 5.25p (the
"Placing Price") per Ordinary Share, raising gross proceeds of
circa £750,000 (before expenses) (the "Placing").
The Placing Shares, when issued and fully paid,
will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary
Shares in issue and therefore will rank equally for all dividends
or other distributions declared, made or paid after the issue of
the Placing Shares.
Cykel AI remains committed to leading AI-driven
solutions that optimise operational efficiency and improve
workflows; thereby allowing businesses to save time and drive ROI
with AI automations.
Jonathan Bixby, Founder and CEO of Cykel AI,
said: "We are delighted to complete an oversubscribed capital raise
with Clear Capital. This is a testament to our product and
partnership traction and we believe that this financing will take
us well through 2025 if we achieve our revenue goals."
As the global artificial intelligence market is
experiencing unprecedented growth, Cykel has successfully carved
out a scalable and impactful segment by leveraging machine learning
and advanced language models to enhance operational efficiencies.
This strategic focus not only positions Cykel at the forefront of
AI innovation but also uniquely enables its partners to streamline
workflows, reduce time spent on repetitive tasks, and achieve
significant gains in efficiency and ROI.
Founded in 2023, Cykel AI specialises in
developing scalable and innovative AI products that optimise
operational efficiency for businesses worldwide. Cykel's automation
solutions simplify repetitive tasks, enabling employees to
concentrate on strategic and important work. As businesses
increasingly recognise the transformative potential of AI-driven
advancements, Cykel continues to expand its client base, keeping
pace with the exponential adoption rates in the
industry.
Use
of net proceeds
The net proceeds of the Placing will
be used to fund the Company's general working capital
requirements.
Total Voting
Rights:
Application will be made to the Financial
Conduct Authority ("FCA") for admission of the Placing Shares to
the standard listing segment of the Official List and to the London
Stock Exchange (the "LSE") for admission to trading of the Placing
Shares on the LSE's Main Market for listed securities (together
"Admission"). It is expected that Admission will take place at or
around 8.00 a.m. on or around 23 October 2024.
Following Admission, the Company confirms that
its total issued share capital will consist of 432,926,576
Ordinary Shares, with one voting right per Ordinary Share. The
Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. This figure
may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for
the calculations by which they will determine if they are required
to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the
share capital of the Company pursuant to the FCA's Disclosure
Guidance and Transparency Rules.
