Vela Technologies Corporate Events
Caledonian Holdings reported unaudited interim results for the six months to 30 September 2025, showing a narrowed loss of £595,572 compared with £2.74m a year earlier, driven largely by smaller negative fair value movements in its investment portfolio. Net assets rose to £3.85m from £2.87m and cash increased to just over £1.0m, supported by equity fundraises and a new £3.5m funding package from Yorkville, bolstering liquidity for its evolving financial services investment strategy. Over the period and shortly after, the group deepened its backing of AlbaCo Limited, advancing a total of £1.57m since September 2025, and agreed its second major transaction under the new strategy with a conditional deal to acquire 100% of Aspire Commerce Group Limited, alongside a working capital facility of up to £600,000. The planned acquisition of a controlling stake in Aspire requires a change to Caledonian’s investing policy, for which the board will seek shareholder approval at the forthcoming AGM, underscoring the company’s pivot towards larger, more integrated holdings in the financial services sector while it continues to rationalise legacy investments.
Caledonian Holdings has committed a further £450,000 in short-term funding to existing portfolio company AlbaCo Limited, on top of a £1.0 million investment made in October 2025, underscoring its view of Alba as a core, long-term holding. Structured as a prepayment towards Alba’s upcoming regulatory capital raise, the facility carries a 25% fee payable in cash or new Alba shares and includes warrants for Caledonian, while being funded from Caledonian’s existing cash resources. The injection is intended to keep Alba operationally resourced and moving forward across regulatory, operational and commercial workstreams as it undergoes its banking licence assessment, reinforcing Caledonian’s strategic backing despite the uncertainty around regulatory approval and Alba’s current loss-making status.
Caledonian Holdings PLC has announced its total issued share capital, which consists of 130,053,510,988 ordinary shares, each with one voting right. This information is crucial for shareholders to determine their interests in the company’s share capital under the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Caledonian Holdings plc is set to acquire Aspire Commerce Group Limited, a company specializing in current accounts, business finance, and foreign exchange transactions, for a nominal fee. This acquisition aligns with Caledonian’s strategy to build a technology-enabled financial-services investment group, providing a platform to accelerate its fintech ambitions. The acquisition will enable Caledonian to deploy complementary technologies and service lines, creating a scalable fintech ecosystem. The deal also includes a working capital loan agreement to support Aspire’s liquidity needs and a Deed of Priority to manage ranking and enforcement rights. The acquisition is expected to enhance Caledonian’s industry positioning by providing access to Aspire’s technology and experienced operators, while also supporting a value-accretive restructuring of Aspire’s debt.
Caledonian Holdings PLC announced a change in its issued ordinary share capital and total voting rights, resulting in Non-Executive Director Chris Cooke’s holding of 3,365,952,697 ordinary shares representing 2.59% of the company’s issued share capital. This adjustment does not involve any purchase or sale of shares by Cooke, indicating a reallocation of shares within the company’s existing structure.
Caledonian Holdings PLC has secured a £3.5 million funding package from Yorkville, consisting of a £500,000 cash subscription, a £3 million unsecured convertible loan note, and a £12 million At-The-Market equity issuance facility. This funding will enable Caledonian to invest further in AlbaCo and other fintech businesses, strengthen its financial position, and support operational growth. The strategic partnership with Yorkville aims to provide flexible financing solutions while reducing dilution risk and aligning with long-term value creation.
Caledonian Holdings plc has entered into a share swap agreement with Moulsdale Investments Limited and Nevis Investments Limited, exchanging shares in AlbaCo Limited for new shares in Caledonian. This move strengthens Caledonian’s investment position in AlbaCo, aligning both companies’ interests and expanding Caledonian’s shareholder base. The transaction reflects confidence in AlbaCo’s potential as it moves towards full operations. Additionally, Caledonian will cease separate quarterly investment updates, opting instead for regular announcements to keep shareholders informed.
Caledonian Holdings plc has announced a further investment in AlbaCo Limited, a UK banking platform applicant, committing up to £1,000,000 as a prepayment towards AlbaCo’s forthcoming authorisation capital raise. This strategic move is aimed at enhancing Caledonian’s exposure to the UK financial services sector, aligning with its strategy of securing attractive economics for shareholders. The investment provides AlbaCo with necessary working capital to finalize its institutional fundraising, positioning Caledonian as a supportive strategic shareholder. AlbaCo, which aims to support SMEs, is not yet operational pending regulatory approval.
Caledonian Holdings PLC has announced its final results for the year ended 31 March 2025, highlighting a significant strategic shift towards financial services investments. Despite reporting a substantial loss due to a decrease in the fair value of legacy investments, the company has raised approximately £2 million through fundraises to support its new strategy. The company has divested from several legacy investments and made new investments in the financial services sector, including a notable investment in AlbaCo, a new bank aimed at supporting small and medium-sized businesses. The management team has also seen changes to align with the new strategy, and the company remains committed to disciplined cost control and prudent cash management.
