International tech builder Fatfish Internet Group Ltd (“Fatfish” or “FFG”) is pleased to announce that APAC Mining Corp (“APAC”), a 51% owned investee company of FFG, intends to seek an admission of its ordinary shares to the mainboard of the London Stock Exchange via the Standard Listing route (“LSE Admission”).
The management of FFG and APG are currently in advanced discussions with prospective investment banks, accountants and lawyers (collectively “Advisors”) in relation to the appointment of the Advisors to assist with the proposed LSE Admission.
APAC specialises in the development and operation of large-scale computing facilities, dedicated to cryptocurrency mining. Cryptocurrencies, based on the blockchain technology, require extensive computing power to solve complex mathematical problems that confirm and verify transactions on the blockchain. APAC has established computing facilities in low-cost energy hubs around the world, that provide the computing power required to solve these mathematical problems, and are subsequently rewarded with fees. This process is commonly referred as crypto-mining. APAC currently has operations in Malaysia and will establish a second facility in Québec, Canada, as was announced to the market on the 16[th] of May, 2018.

Fatfish CEO Kin Wai Lau commented “The proposed listing presents the opportunity to raise significant capital to expand APAC’s already successful crypto-mining operation. By having the APAC shares publicly tradable, it will also allow the market to assign its own value or market cap to the APAC business which should positively reflect on the Fatfish financials”.
Timeline
The proposed LSE Admission is expected to complete within a 6 to 9-month period.
Financial Effect
The proposed LSE Admission is intended to raise substantial working capital for APAC, with funds to be used to expand its crypto-mining capacity globally. The amount of capital to be raised will be determined closer to the proposed LSE Admission as a joint decision between APAC and its Advisors.
The proposed LSE Admission, upon completion, will have significant positive impact on the financials of APAC and is expected to have similar positive impact on the position of Fatfish’s financials.
FFG cautions investors that there can be no certainty that the proposed LSE Admission will complete, and that the listing will be subject to satisfaction of all legal and regulatory requirements.
FFG looks forward to further updating shareholders in due course.
