| What are the key risks that are specific to the issuer? | |||
| --- | --- | ||
| Set out below is a summary of the most material risk factors specific to the Company: • The Company is a new entity and has no operating history. |
4
• The Company is dependent on the Directors to identify potential acquisition opportunities and to execute an Acquisition.
• The Company may be unable to identify and complete an Acquisition.
• The Directors are not obliged to commit their whole time to the Company’s business; they may allocate a portion of their time to other businesses which may lead to the potential for conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to assign to the Company’s affairs.
• The Company cannot offer any assurance that all of the significant risk factors in a particular target can be identified or properly assessed.
• If, two years after Admission, an Acquisition has not been made, the Directors are obliged under the terms of the Beansprout Code to put a resolution to shareholders to wind up the Company and return funds to the shareholders. In such circumstances the shareholders will receive substantially less than their original investment.
- Key information on the securities.
| What are the main features of the securities? | |
|---|---|
| Type, class and ISIN of securities | The Company will issue new Ordinary Shares of 1p each under the Offer. The ISIN of the Ordinary Shares is GB00BK1VJS23. |
| As at 14 May 2021, being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this document, the issued fully paid capital of the Company is 8,500,000 Ordinary Shares, with no shares held in treasury. | |
| Currency, par value and number to be issued | The currency of the Ordinary Shares is Sterling, the shares having a par value of 1p each. |
| Pursuant to the Offer, the Company will issue up to 75,000,000 new Ordinary Shares at GBP 0.02 per share to raise up to GBP 1,500,000, subject to a minimum subscription of 35,000,000 new Ordinary Shares (to raise GBP 700,000). If the minimum subscription is not achieved, then monies subscribed will be returned to investors in full. | |
| Rights attaching to the securities | The shares being offered by the Company under the Offer have the following rights: |
| As regards income: | |
| Holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions made, paid or declared by the Company after allotment and issue pari passu and equally with each other and with existing Ordinary Shares. | |
| As regards capital: |
5
| | On a winding-up or other return of capital, the holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to share in any surplus assets pro rata to the amount paid up on their Ordinary Shares.
As regards voting and general meetings:
Each Ordinary Share carries the right to receive notice of and to attend and/or vote at any general meeting of the Company.
As regards redemption:
The Ordinary Shares are not redeemable.
As regards conversion:
The Ordinary Shares have no conversion rights. |
| --- | --- |
| Seniority of securities | The Ordinary Shares being offered by the Company will rank equally with the existing Ordinary Shares in the event of an insolvency of the Company. |
| Restrictions on free transferability of securities | There are no restrictions on the free transferability of the Ordinary Shares |
| Dividend policy | The objective of the Directors is the achievement of substantial capital growth. For the foreseeable future, it is unlikely that the Directors will declare a dividend. |
| Where will the securities be traded? | Application has been made for the Ordinary Shares (issued and to be issued) to be admitted to the Official List of the FCA by means of a Standard Listing and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that unconditional dealings will commence on the London Stock Exchange at 08.00 hours on 17 June 2021. |
| --- | --- |
| What are the key risks that are specific to the securities? | Set out below is a summary of the most material risk factors specific to the Company:
• A Standard Listing will afford investors a lower level of regulatory protection than that afforded to investors in a company with a Premium Listing, which is subject to additional obligations under the Listing Rules, and which may have an adverse effect on the valuation of the Ordinary Shares.
• It is the Company’s duty under the Listing Rules to contact the FCA as early as possible if a Reverse Takeover has been agreed or is in contemplation, to discuss whether a suspension of listing is appropriate.
The FCA may decide to exercise its power to suspend a company’s listing where the company undertakes a transaction which, because of the comparative size of the company and any target, would be a Reverse Takeover under the Listing Rules.
There is a risk that the Company’s listing will not be restored. A suspension of the Company’s Ordinary Shares would materially reduce liquidity in such shares which may affect an Investor’s |

ability to realise some or all of his or her investment and/or the price at which such Investor can effect such realisation.
- The Company will issue a substantial number of shares to complete an Acquisition, which will lead to the dilution of the interests of current shareholders and persons investing under this Prospectus.
-
The Beansprout Code imposes corporate governance restrictions on the Company that other special purpose acquisition companies do not have, which may in certain circumstances restrict the actions it could otherwise take.

Key information on the Offer and on Admission.
| Under which conditions and timetable can I invest in this security? | |
|---|---|
| Amount of the Offer | Up to GBP 1,500,000 of new Ordinary Shares are available for subscription at GBP 0.02 per share under the Offer, subject to a minimum subscription of GBP 700,000. |
| The Offer is only being made in the United Kingdom. | |
| Terms, conditions and timetable | The Offer will open on 03 June 2021. The deadline for applications to be received is 1.00 p.m. on 10 June 2021; the Company reserves the right to extend the closing date. |
| It is expected that Admission of the new Ordinary Shares to the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange will become effective within 8 business days from the closing of the Offer. | |
| The Offer is conditional, inter alia, upon (i) the Minimum Subscription being received; and (ii) Admission occurring and becoming effective by 8.00 a.m. on 17 June 2021 (or such later date as the Company may agree). | |
| Expenses charged to investors | No expenses are charged to investors. The expenses of the Offer (between GBP 140,440 at the minimum subscription and GBP 220,440 at the maximum subscription) will be borne by the Company. |
| Dilution | The Offer will result in dilution of the existing Ordinary Shares of between 80.5% at the minimum subscription and 89.8% at the maximum subscription. |
| Why is this Prospectus being produced? | |
| --- | --- |
| The reason for the publication of this Prospectus is the launch of the Offer to raise funds by the issue of new Ordinary Shares, to enable the Company to implement its strategy of seeking an Acquisition in the Support Services sector. The Offer is not underwritten. | |
| The net proceeds of the Offer are estimated at between GBP 559,560 and GBP 1,279,560, on the basis of a minimum subscription of |
| | 35,000,000 Ordinary Shares and a maximum subscription of 75,000,000 Ordinary Shares respectively.
The Minimum Net Proceeds will be sufficient to carry out the required due diligence on an Acquisition but may be insufficient to enable the Company to provide additional working capital to the Acquisition. If the Offer achieves the Maximum Net Proceeds, the Company should have the resources to provide additional capital to assist the development of the Acquisition and/or seek a further Acquisition.
There are no conflicts of interest that are material to the Offer. |
