The Placing Shares are equivalent to approximately 8.2% per cent. of the Companys existing issued ordinary share capital, and when issued, will represent approximately 7.5% per cent. of the Companys enlarged issued share capital.
The funds raised will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes.
KBC Peel Hunt is acting as nominated adviser and broker to Betcorp.
Commenting, Betcorp CEO Colin Walker said:
We are delighted to be welcoming new shareholders on board so soon after our successful dual listing on AIM. While we are only raising limited funding at this stage, broadening our shareholder base was one of the primary reasons for coming to London and we expect it to be a major benefit going forward as we execute our strategy.
