COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF AN
INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING POLICY). IF THE ADMISSION IS
SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE
STATED:
The Company's strategy, as outlined at the time of its admission to the
standard segment of the Official List in 2022, is to seek acquisitions in the
digital media sector and to act as a consolidator and operator in the digital
marketing and advertising market, focused principally on first party data
solutions.
Concurrent with its admission to trading on AIM, Electric Guitar is proposing
to acquire the entire issued share capital of 3radical Limited ("3radical")
for a consideration of approximately £1.3 million (the "Acquisition"),
payable by the issue of new ordinary shares in Electric Guitar. The
Acquisition constitutes a reverse takeover under the Listing Rules and
therefore shareholder approval for the Acquisition is being sought at a
general meeting of Electric Guitar to be convened for 1 May 2024.
Led by an experienced team of marketing technology professionals, 3radical has
created and proven a Software as a Service platform, 3radical Voco, which
enables organisations to engage individuals and request their data directly
using progressive and interactive digital experiences, at scale. This data can
be critical for marketing and for providing a compelling customer experience,
optimising communications, designing products and services and, ultimately,
driving revenues.
The 3radical Voco platform is already deployed by major brands across the UK,
US and Asia-Pacific and is well positioned to capitalise on the shift driven
by data legislation, consumer sentiment and technology changes which means
brands need to acquire data themselves, rather than purchase it from third
parties.
The Company's strategy will continue to be to capitalise on structural
disruption in the marketing industry. The Company will invest in becoming a
leading provider of first party data solutions for the marketing and
advertising industry, aiming to make it the provider of choice, both for
marketers seeking solutions to gain first party data and then realise the
value of it, and for technology developers looking to secure and enhance the
future of their businesses. The Company will continue to seek acquisitions
that offer not only complementary technologies to those provided by 3radical,
but also access to additional clients, geographical markets and verticals.
DETAILS OF SECURITIES TO BE ADMITTED INCLUDING ANY RESTRICTIONS AS TO TRANSFER
OF THE SECURITIES (i.e. where known, number and type of shares, nominal value
and issue price to which it seeks admission and the number and type to be held
as treasury shares):
223,833,289 ordinary shares of £0.005 each ("Ordinary Shares") at an issue
