Intuitive Investments Group plc
Return of investment and cancellation of shares
Intuitive Investments Group plc (SFS: IIG) ("IIG" or the "Company"), a closed-end investment company focused on high-growth opportunities in the technology, life sciences, and healthcare sectors, announces developments related to its investee company, Hui10 Inc. ("Hui10").
The board of Hui10 has informed IIG of recent developments concerning an investor who invested in Hui10 prior to IIG's investment. As a result of the investor's non-performance in meeting certain conditions stipulated in the original investment agreement, Hui10 will exercise its rights under the investment agreement. Consequently, Hui10 has returned RMB 38 million (c.$5 million) (the "Repayment") to the investor and will take steps to reclaim the 3,250,254 ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the Company previously issued to that investor, which the Company then intends to cancel in due course. The return of these amounts does not impact the immediate working capital requirement of Hui10. Following the Repayment, IIG's cash balance remains unchanged at £1.4 million and Hui10's cash balance now stands at $6.4 million.
Further announcements will be made in due course.
