Videndum plc ( (GB:VID) ) has provided an announcement.
Videndum plc has completed an accelerated bookbuild to conditionally raise £85 million in gross proceeds through a fully underwritten equity capital raising at 270 pence per new share, following a planned capital reorganisation. The package comprises a firm placing of 30.19 million shares and a placing and open offer of 1.30 million shares, with an open offer giving existing shareholders the chance to subscribe on a 5-for-400 basis, subject to shareholder approval at a 27 March general meeting and admission of the new stock on 30 March.
The transaction includes a related-party element involving major shareholder Alantra, which could receive up to about £22 million of new shares through the firm placing and placing, a structure the board and its sponsor Investec have deemed fair and reasonable to minority investors. Successful completion of the capital raising, which is supported by underwriting from Investec and advised on by Lazard, is intended to refinance the business and underpin its balance sheet, potentially strengthening Videndum’s financial position and market standing ahead of its next phase of development.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:VID) stock is a Sell with a £11.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Videndum plc stock, see the GB:VID Stock Forecast page.

The score is driven primarily by weak financial performance (losses, declining revenue, high leverage, and negative free cash flow) and strongly bearish technical signals (well below moving averages with negative MACD).
