The Company plans to leverage Vection’s existing Tier-1 clients’ portfolio to generate software development and sale opportunities for the combined group, significantly increasing the group’s commercial opportunities.
Investor Roadshow for Vection
Due to the high-profile Tier 1 client portfolio of Vection, the Company gained significant interest and inbound enquiries from a number of institutional and sophisticated investors, both locally and abroad. To further drive global exposure and brand awareness of the Vection offering, ServTech conducted a domestic and international investor roadshow (ASX: 5 March 2019).
The roadshow was targeted at sophisticated, institutional and high net worth investors in Australasia’s most important financial districts (Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney & Melbourne). The Company’s roadshow presentation is available on the ASX (ASX: 13 March 2019).
Approval by Shareholders, Completion and Placement
Post period end, the Company held a general meeting of shareholders to seek approval pursuant to the ASX Listing Rules for the Acquisition of Vection. At this meeting, Shareholders approved the Acquisition and a placement to sophisticated and professional investors (ASX 11 April 2019).

The Company also successfully completed the placement of 111,111,111 new Shares, at an issue price of $0.018 per Share raising $2 million (before costs).
Board Appointments
The Acquisition also brought the Company an experienced management team in the technology space to ensure continued growth and performance, enhancing the existing ServTech business.

Cash outflows from investing activities included ~$105,000 incurred in the relation to Vection due diligence costs. But for this one-off item, the Company would have posted an overall increase in its reported cash balance.

The Company is working closely with The Agency to agree payment of the outstanding balance in a timely manner, noting that The Agency is a key client and partner for ServTech, both now and into the future.
Outlook

Post period end, the Company gave an update on the strong pre-acquisition performance of the Vection business. During the March 2019 quarter, Vection continued to build on its revenue base and pipeline of contract opportunities. The Company intends to utilise its combined group’s geographical outreach to crosssell its software development solutions to its existing customer base, and its existing suite of SaaS products, including Vection’s SaaS VR Platform: FrameS .
ServTech will soon finalise a global launch strategy for FrameS and appoint distribution and reselling partners. This is an important initiative for the Company and its aspirations to make FrameS a leading and widely used SaaS platform.
