Oberon Investments Group plc
("Oberon", the "Company", or the "Group")
£1.4 million Fundraise at Current Offer Price
Strong support from existing and new investors
Oberon Investments Group plc (AQSE: OBE), the integrated investment management, financial planning, asset management and corporate advisory group, is pleased to announce that it has raised approximately £1.4 million before expenses through the issue of approximately 68,761,899 new ordinary shares of 0.5 pence each in the Company (the "Fundraising Shares") at a price of 2.1 pence per share (the "Issue Price") (the "Fundraise").
The Issue Price was equal to the Company's current offer price at the time the Fundraise was agreed.
The Fundraise received strong support from existing and new investors, together with significant participation from staff and directors of the Group. £400,000 of the Fundraise was subscribed by existing VCT and institutional investors and approximately £300,000 of the total amount raised has been subscribed by Oberon staff and directors. The Board believes this demonstrates a strong level of internal confidence in the Group's strategy and prospects.
As part of the Fundraise, Jonathan Eddis, the Company's recently appointed Non-Executive Director, and Michael Cuthbert, Chairman of the Company, have each subscribed for 476,190 Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price.
Following admission of the Fundraising Shares ("Admission"), Jonathan Eddis will hold 476,190 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 0.05% of the enlarged issued share capital. Michael Cuthbert will hold 1,481,735 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 0.17% of the enlarged issued share capital.
The proceeds will further strengthen the Group's financial position and provide additional working capital as Oberon continues to execute its growth strategy.
Related Party Transaction
The participation of Jonathan Eddis and Michael Cuthbert in the fundraise constitutes a related party transaction for the purposes of Rule 4.6 of the AQSE Growth Market Rules by virtue of their positions as directors of the Company.
The Directors independent of the transaction, having exercised reasonable care, skill and diligence, consider that the terms of the subscriptions by Jonathan Eddis and Michael Cuthbert are fair and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of the Company are concerned.
Admission and Total Voting Rights
Application will be made for the 68,761,899 Fundraising Shares, which, when issued, will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to trading on the AQSE Growth Market.
It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the Fundraising Shares will commence on or around 8:00 a.m. on 21 August 2026.
Following Admission, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will comprise 868,710,940 Ordinary Shares, each carrying one voting right. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Accordingly, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 868,710,940. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for calculations by which they determine whether they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the applicable disclosure requirements.
Simon McGivern, Chief Executive Officer of Oberon Investments Group, commented:
"We are delighted with the strong support shown for this fundraise from both existing and new investors. Raising £1.4 million at the current offer price provides further backing for the Group as we continue to grow the business and focus on converting that growth into sustainable profitability.
It is particularly encouraging that approximately £300,000 has been invested by our own staff and directors. We have always believed strongly in alignment between the people building Oberon and our shareholders, and this represents a meaningful vote of confidence from within the business.
I am also delighted that both our Chairman, Mike Cuthbert, and our newly appointed Non-Executive Director, Jonathan Eddis, have invested personally in the fundraise.
We enter the new financial year with a stronger business, an increasingly recurring revenue base and continued support from both our people and our shareholders."
