DATALEX PLC
AGM Statement and Potential Fundraising Update
Dublin, Ireland - 18 July 2024: Datalex plc (the "Company" or the "Group") (Euronext Growth Dublin: DLE), a market leader in airline e-commerce solutions, will hold its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") at 11:00am Dublin time today at Block V, Eastpoint Business Park, Dublin 3 D03 H704, Ireland.
At the AGM, David Hargaden, Chairman, will make the following statement:
"In the Company's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2023, which was published on 20 June 2024, the Board reiterated its focus on positioning the business to repay the Tireragh Limited loan facility and announced that its was actively working with its financial advisors to advise on and commence an equity fundraising process.
I can confirm that this process is ongoing and it is the Board's intention to launch a €25m equity fundraising (the "Potential Fundraising"), in the early Autumn. The Potential Fundraising, if completed, is expected to enable the Group to repay in entirety its existing loan facility with Tireragh Limited and provide sufficient working capital to invest further in the Group's product roadmap and activation projects, while continuing to compete for new revenue opportunities.
Due to the legal requirements of Regulation (EU) No 909/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014, shareholders would need to hold their shares in dematerialised form in order to participate in the Potential Fundraising (i.e. certificated shareholders would not be eligible to participate in the Potential Fundraising). Therefore, the Board would encourage any shareholder, who holds their shares in certificated form and would like to be eligible to participate in the Potential Fundraising, to dematerialise their shareholding at their earliest convenience.
There is no certainty at this stage that the Potential Fundraising will complete, nor the timing or terms of the Potential Fundraising. Further announcements will be made in due course as appropriate."
