An update from Zinc Media ( (GB:ZIN) ) is now available.
Zinc Media Group has triggered the final earn-out payment for The Edge Picture Co after the brand film-maker met its performance targets, issuing £1.43m in consideration split between £0.34m in cash and 2.64 million new shares, which will be locked in for 12 months. The board has agreed a limited release from lock-in to accommodate institutional demand, while Zinc has also extended its history of related-party financing arrangements with Herald Investment Trust, which holds a large existing stake.
To maintain Herald Investment Trust’s 33.2% shareholding, Zinc is converting about £551,000 of long-term debt into 1.31 million new shares at 42p, reducing total indebtedness to roughly £2.9m and reinforcing its balance sheet. Admission of the 3.95 million new shares from the earn-out and debt conversion will lift Zinc’s share count to 29.14 million on AIM, slightly diluting other shareholders but aligning key stakeholders as the group consolidates The Edge’s contribution and extends debt maturities out to 2027.
