Completion of the Proposals is expected to take place on 27 December 2017.

 

As shareholder approval has now been received, as required under Rule 14 of the AIM Rules, the admission of the Company's Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM will be cancelled (immediately prior to Admission) and the re-admission of the Company's Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM and dealings in such Ordinary Shares is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on 27 December 2017 ("Admission").

 

Change of Name and Website Address

 

At the General Meeting, Shareholders also approved the change of the Company's name from Parallel Media Group Plc to Live Company Group Plc. The change of name will be effective once Companies House has issued a certificate of incorporation on change of name. The Company's AIM symbol will change to LVCG with effect from 8.00am on 28 December 2017. The ISIN, GB00BGSGT481, will remain unchanged. 

 

Following the change of the Company's name becoming effective, its website address, which will include the information required by AIM Rule 26, will be www.livecompanygroup.com.

 

Directorate Changes

Following the passing of the resolutions at the General Meeting the Company announces, each with effect upon Admission, the appointments of Andy Smith, Executive Director and Simon Bennett, Non-Executive Director, as directors of the Company. Save as set out in the Admission Document, there is no other information that is required to be disclosed pursuant to Schedule 2 paragraph (g) of the AIM Rules for Companies.

 

Total Voting Rights

Following completion of the Proposals and Admission, the Enlarged Issued Share Capital will comprise 48,207,793 Ordinary Shares. Each Ordinary Share has one voting right.  No Ordinary Shares are held in treasury.  Accordingly, the total number of voting rights will be 48,207,793.

The above figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Live Company Group plc under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Save as where defined, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as in the Company's admission document published on 29 November 2017, copies of which are available on the Company's website.
