STRATEGIC FINANCING

 

Coinsilium Group Limited (NEX: COIN), the blockchain venture builder and investor that finances and manages the development of early-stage blockchain technology companies, is pleased to announce that it has raised GBP367,125 before expenses to fund the further growth and development of the Company.

 

Highlights:

 

• Strategic financing with GBP367,125 raised through the issue of 9,178,125 new ordinary shares of no par value ("Ordinary Shares") at 4.0p per share.

 

• Financing undertaken at a 23.1% premium to the market close price on 11 December 2018, with a new strategic investor and a number of existing shareholders;

 

• Each new Ordinary Share is accompanied by one warrant to subscribe for one further new ordinary share at a price of 7.5p ("Exercise Price"), with a 2-year expiration ("Warrants").

 

• Warrants include an acceleration provision whereby, should the Ordinary Shares of the Company close at a volume weighted average share bid price exceeding 15p for 5 consecutive trading days, the Company will have the right to require  the immediate warrant conversion at the Exercise Price;

 

• Funds raised will be applied to strategic advancement of the Company, including a number of high impact initiatives under development.

 

 

Malcolm Palle, Executive Chairman of Coinsilium commented: "Today's financing brings a new strategic sector-focused investor onto our register. Further, adding to our working capital funds will enable us to implement a number of important strategic initiatives to support Coinsilium's growth through 2019 and beyond.

 

"Shareholders and investors will be aware that the blockchain landscape has been challenging through much of this year and whilst this has impacted on the market valuation of the Company, we are now presented with some interesting strategic opportunities on markedly improved terms.

 

"Whilst we still see significant upside in our business from existing and new opportunities, we also recognise the need to employ a degree of caution when committing working capital. The funds raised will therefore be effectively deployed to maintain Coinsilium's rapid growth trajectory.

 

The board continues to focus on delivering long term shareholder value and we will be providing the market with a comprehensive strategic business update early in the new year."
