By Shares of tinyBuild experienced an impressive surge of 80% following the announcement of a highly successful high-premium fund raising venture. Chief Executive Alex Nichiporchik played a significant role in supporting this initiative, contributing to its remarkable outcome.
As of 0841 GMT, the company’s shares had risen by 70%, or 1.75 pence, reaching a notable 4.25 pence. However, it is important to note that despite this recent growth, the shares have faced a decline of 96% over the course of the current year.
tinyBuild, a prominent videogame publisher and developer listed in London, had previously revealed its intention to raise funds before the end of January. Warnings were issued, stating that if the fundraising efforts were unsuccessful, the company would have to explore alternative avenues for emergency financing. In a more dire scenario where the required funds cannot be obtained, tinyBuild may find itself compelled to file for bankruptcy.
To address these financial challenges, tinyBuild has shared its plans to allocate $3.5 million from the funds towards settling claims related to its acquisition of Versus Evil and Red Cerberus in November 2021. The remaining amount will be allocated for software development and as working capital, ensuring the company’s ongoing operations.
The company aims to raise $10 million through a placing method by issuing shares at a rate of 5 pence each. This price is twice the closing price of 2.50 pence observed on Wednesday. The placing will be facilitated through a carefully coordinated bookbuilding program.
In addition to the placing, tinyBuild intends to raise an additional $2 million through a private placement with Atari, an entertainment company and renowned brand in the gaming industry. Furthermore, an open offer will allow investors to contribute up to $2.2 million.
As part of the open offer, shareholders have the opportunity to purchase up to 33.8 million shares. The new share allocation is based on a ratio of one new share for every six currently held.
