Linius Raises $2 Million

Melbourne, Australia – 29 April 2022: Linius Technologies Limited (ASX: LNU) (Linius or Company) – the only cloud-based solution that transforms static video into hyper-personalised video experiences with its world-first Video Virtualization Engine™ (VVE) – has received firm commitments from professional and sophisticated investors to raise $2 million, before costs ( Placement ).

The Placement received strong support from new institutional shareholders as well as continued support from existing shareholders and includes a $350,000 commitment from Linius directors, subject to shareholder approval, which will be sought at a General Meeting of shareholders to be held as soon as practicable.

The Placement will result in the issue of 200 million fully paid ordinary shares at $0.01 per share to raise $2 million, before costs, conducted within the Company’s existing Listing Rule 7.1A placement capacity for 165 million shares and pursuant to LR 10.11 for 35 million shares in respect of shares subscribed for by directors (subject to shareholder approval). The issue price represents a discount of 16.7% to last close and 12.1% to the 15-day VWAP, meeting the requirements of LR 7.1A.3 in being greater than 75% of the 15-day VWAP. The shares issued under the Placement will rank equally with existing Linius fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

The Placement supports acceleration of customer acquisition in the Sport and Education sectors, delivery of key product enhancements and furthering the Company’s platform strategy

Proceeds from the placement will be used to accelerate growth following recent increases in deployment of existing Linius products, drive the delivery of new annual recurring revenue from existing customers and new business pipeline, and funding the Company’s general working capital requirements.

Linius CEO, James Brennan said “Following recent progress in the sports segment, with partner Swanbay’s MatchVision solution launching at Club Brugge of the Belgian Pro League and piloting in partnership with English Football League (EFL) and IMG, we are poised to accelerate our development of this market.

“Additionally, progress with existing education customer University of Newcastle and other Australian university prospects has highlighted the opportunity to expedite new customer acquisition with enhancements to our Whizzard product through integration into tools like the Canvas learning management system.

“The funds from this raise will allow us to take advantage of these market opportunities and to achieve our goal of increased revenue.”
