Zaim Credit Systems plc (the ‘Group’ or ‘Zaim’), the Russian focused fintech group, announces it has completed (subject to certain conditions inter alia Admission) an equity fundraise of £1,000,000 (gross) (the “Fundraise”) through the issue of 25,000,000 ordinary shares (the “Fundraise Shares”) at a price of 4.0 pence per ordinary share.

The Fundraise has been undertaken by way of a placing of new ordinary shares (“Placing”) of £0.01 par value (“Ordinary Shares”) in the share capital of the Company and was arranged by the Company’s Broker, Optiva Securities Limited, with its clients. The Fundraise is to provide additional capital for expansion of the loan portfolio and the development of new products.

The Fundraise has been undertaken by means of the Placing pursuant to which, the Company will issue 25,000,000 Fundraise Shares at a price of 4.0p per new ordinary share (“Issue Price”), representing a discount of approximately 10% to the closing price of 4.4p per Ordinary Share on 15 June 2021 (being the last practicable dealing date prior to the pricing of this transaction).

Application will be made for the Fundraise Shares, which will rank pari passu with the Company’s existing Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to listing on the FCA’s Official List (Standard Listing) and to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s Main Market for listed securities (“Admission”). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the Fundraise Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on or around 23^rd June 2021.

Following Admission of the Fundraising Shares the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company with voting rights will be 461,975,000. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
