("TMT" or the "Company")
Significant Revaluation
TMT Investments Plc (AIM: TMT.L), the venture capital company investing in high-growth technology companies, is pleased to announce a significant revaluation of one of its portfolio companies.
TMT's portfolio company Bolt, a leading international ride-hailing and food delivery company (www.bolt.eu), announced, on 2 August 2021, that it had successfully raised €600 million (US$713 million) in an equity finance round led by Sequoia Capital (the "Bolt Fundraise"). The Bolt Fundraise represents a substantial valuation uplift of approximately US$30 million (or 83%) in the value of TMT's investment in Bolt, compared to the previously reported valuation as at 31 December 2020.
This revaluation is expected to result in a further significant increase in the Company's net asset value, equivalent to approximately US$1.03 per share (before adjustments for the Company's ongoing operating expenses, accrued bonus, potential future revaluations/impairments, and similar items).
A complete portfolio update will be provided alongside the Company's interim results to 30 June 2021, which are expected to be published in the second half of August 2021.
Alexander Selegenev, Executive Director, TMT Investments Plc, commented: "Investing in successful companies at an earlier stage of their development is TMT's core focus and value add to its shareholders. TMT first invested in Bolt in September 2014 when it only had operations in a few cities. Today Bolt is active in over 300 cities globally and we are therefore delighted to see that Sequoia Capital, one of the world's leading and largest venture capital investors, has followed in TMT's footsteps with the leading of this very significant equity fundraise of €600 million".
