13 April 2016, Melbourne: Connexion Media Limited (ASX:CXZ) (“Connexion”) is pleased to announce a Placement and provide an update for shareholders.
Placement
The Company is in the final stages of completing a capital raise of up to $2.5 million via a Placement at 18 cents per share.
The Placement is being offered to institutional investors, along with sophisticated and high net worth investors. The Company has had healthy demand from existing and new investors, and expects to close the capital raise in the very near term.
The funds raised will be used to support the Company’s current growth initiatives, including servicing the anticipated uplift in GM’s Commercial Link customer demand.
Corporate Update
Since the launch of GM’s Commercial Link across the US on 1 April 2016, the Company anticipates substantial revenue uplift in the months ahead.
The Company’s cash position will also be bolstered by a significant payment from GM for Commercial Link development work already undertaken and an R&D refund later in CY2016 of over $1.5 million.
The Company continues to deliver strong growth momentum, with further positive revenue opportunities ahead, including WEX Australia’s planned launch of its Flex-based product and miRoamer licensing fees from a South American automaker.
Further to the announcement made on 30 April 2015, the Company has delivered the miRoamer customised in-vehicle solution to a South American automaker for review. The product launch is planned for late 2016 and is expected to reach up to 8 million vehicles within 3 years. Connexion will receive a one-off license fee per vehicle.
The Company has also been invited to participate in several miRoamer automotive licensing tender opportunities in the USA and Europe.
In addition, Connexion’s recently announced partnership with Oracle (announced on 7 March 2016) is delivering early momentum, with Oracle introducing the Company to a number of its key accounts across the US. The Company expects further commercial opportunities to emanate from these introductions.
