TMT Acquisition Plc
Interim Management Report
For the period from 25 March to 30 September 2021
TMT Acquisition was incorporated in March 2021 to pursue opportunities to acquire businesses in the technology, media and telecom sector ("TMT sector") with a focus on disruptive digitally enabled media and technology businesses. The Directors have stated their intention to consider making an acquisition of the following types of businesses:
- Platform and marketplace businesses;
- Tech-enabled disruptive businesses;
- E-Commerce businesses; and
- On-line B2B and enterprise solutions businesses.
From incorporation on 25 March 2021, the Company prepared for a listing on the standard segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the main market for listed securities of London Stock Exchange plc (the "LSE"). The interim results for the period ending 30 September 2021 reflect part of the costs to list. During this period the Company recorded a net loss of £0.04 million being the minimal running costs of the Company. The Directors draw no salary, so any ongoing costs relate to administrative expenses and listing fees.
On 11 October, the Company was admitted to listing on the standard segment of the Official List and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the LSE, raising gross proceeds of £5 million (net proceeds of £4.73 million) from institutional investors. As at 31 October 2021, current assets were approximately £4.83 million.
