Results of Tender
Offer
XL Media plc (AIM: XLM), a sports
and gaming digital media company, announces the results of the Tender Offer set out in the circular
published by the Company on 20 January 2025 (the "Circular"), which
closed at 1.00 p.m. on 6 February 2025. The Tender Price was
11.5 pence per Share.
Results of Tender
Offer
The Company offered to purchase up
to a maximum of 139,130,434 Ordinary Shares (being approximately
52.98 per cent. of the Company's existing issued share capital)
under the Tender Offer. In total, 121,545,490 Ordinary Shares were
validly tendered under the Tender Offer, representing approximately
46.3 per cent. of the Company's existing issued share capital and
approximately 87.4 per cent. of the number of Ordinary Shares
available to tender. All valid tenders will be satisfied in
full.
It is expected that cheques will be
despatched and CREST accounts will be credited with proceeds in
respect of successfully tendered shares on or before 17 February
2025.
The 121,545,490 Ordinary Shares
tendered under the Tender Offer will be repurchased by the Company
under the Repurchase Agreement and cancelled.
The ordinary issued share capital of
the Company following the purchase will be 141,040,915 (with no
ordinary shares held in treasury). The total voting rights in the
Company following the purchase and cancellation will be
141,040,915.
The figure of 141,040,915 may be
used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by
which they will determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under
the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
The Company wishes to remind
Shareholders that following completion of the North America
Disposal, the Company became an AIM Rule 15 Cash Shell with no
material trading business, activities and assets other than the
cash proceeds from the Europe Disposal and North America Disposal,
and is now focused on the orderly distribution to Shareholders of
the proceeds from the Europe Disposal and the North America
Disposal. The Company currently expects to make a further
distribution of capital to Shareholders in the second quarter of
2025.
