Immotion Group plc

("Immotion", the "Company" or the "Group")

Proposed disposal of the Location Based Entertainment business, completion of the sale of Uvisan Limited and Notice of General Meeting

Immotion, the UK-based immersive entertainment group, is pleased to announce it has entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement, for the sale of its Location Based Entertainment business ("LBE") (collectively; Immotion Studios Limited ("ISL"), Immotion VR Limited ("IVL") and C.2K Entertainment Inc. ("C.2K)), to LBE BidCo, Inc. for an enterprise value of $25,211,739 on a cash free/debt free basis (the "Proposed Transaction").

In addition, the Company is pleased to announce that it has completed the disposal of Uvisan Limited ("Uvisan") for cash consideration of £100,000.

Highlights

·    Sale of the LBE business agreed, subject to shareholder approval, for an enterprise value of $25,211,739

·    Sale of Uvisan for a total cash consideration of £100,000.

·  Retention of the Home-Based Entertainment business conducted by Let's Explore Media Limited ("HBE") following encouraging retail and TV shopping demand.

·   Intended return of the majority of the LBE sale proceeds to Shareholders (up to circa £13.5m, equating to approximately 3p per share), retaining circa £6.5m within the Company for future opportunities.

·    Intention to build on the Board's expertise using HBE as an initial platform to create a high growth trading group through strategic acquisitions.

·    Proposed change of name to Let's Explore Group plc.

·   Following the completion of the disposals, Rod Findley will remain with the LBE business and step down as a director of the Company.

Further details of the Proposed Transaction are set out below.

Whilst the Board believes that considerable growth opportunities are available to the LBE business, it is of the view that as a result of the current and continuing challenges presented by the macroeconomic environment, not least the cost-of-living crisis and inflationary pressures in the US and UK, the trading environment could become much more challenging.  In addition, to accelerate growth of the LBE business further capital may be required.  The Board is doubtful that debt finance could be secured on acceptable terms and it is unwilling to seek to raise further equity capital at the Company's current valuation.  Accordingly, and in order to minimise risk for Shareholders and provide a significant liquidity event in highly uncertain markets, the Board has decided to pursue the Proposed Transaction. 

Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, the Board intends to return the majority of the cash to Immotion Shareholders, retaining circa £6.5m within the Group, most of which is intended to be used to fund acquisitions.  The Group will retain the Home Based Entertainment ("HBE") business, which it intends to grow, whilst creating a dynamic trading group through strategic acquisitions.

The Immotion Board will seek businesses which have proven products and associated demand but lack capital to grow. The Board believes that its experience in business acquisition and development in general and its expertise in digital and media marketing, as well as the Company's ability to provide cash investment for growth should leave the Company well positioned to pursue new opportunities. The Company has already identified one possible target company which it intends to further explore following completion of the Proposed Transaction. 

The Board believes that the HBE business has clear potential and since the Interim Results, HBE has developed, and honed its business model to have a greater B2B focus. Over the last six months it has undertaken a number of successful initiatives via its distribution partner, Wicked Vision. These include a number of trials with QVC, a major global shopping channel where circa £1m of the Vodiac product, at retail value, were sold in a small number of on-air TV demonstrations. It has also launched Let's Explore Oceans and Vodiac into the retail sector, securing a number of trial retailer partners, including Amazon, Selfridges, Hamleys, Dixons, FAO Schwarz, and Fraser Group, to name but a few.

The Company will today post a Circular to Shareholders regarding the Proposed Transaction, which sets out a Notice of General Meeting, and a Form of Proxy for the proposed resolutions. These documents will also be available on the Company's website.

Commenting, Martin Higginson, CEO of Immotion, said:

"As I'm sure shareholders will understand this transaction has taken time to conclude, and as a consequence we have been unable to update the market for a number of weeks. Given the current economic climate we believe this is a good deal for all shareholders, allowing us to not only return cash per share in excess of today's share price, but to go forward with renewed energy, and cash in the plc vehicle. Furthermore, with access to capital, this proposed sale will allow the business we started, along with team we created, to grow faster. The journey has had a few bumps along the way, not least the Covid Pandemic.

"The hardest part of starting any business is the journey through to profitability. We have, despite the challenges, achieved this, and now hand over a profitable business for the next stage in its journey. With access to capital, this proposed sale, will allow the business we started, along with team we created, to grow faster. It has been my pleasure to have worked with such a talented team, and I wish them and the new owners well."

"I am genuinely excited about the next stage in the Company's journey, we have, I believe, got the opportunity to build a highly dynamic trading business, and with a few opportunities already on the horizon, I am looking forward to what the future holds."

Background to the Transaction

Immotion was formed in 2017 by Martin Higginson and David Marks for the purpose of delivering immersive entertainment via virtual reality technology and related content and was listed on the AIM market on 12 July 2018. 

The Company is formed of three divisions: Location Based Entertainment, Home Based Entertainment and Uvisan with the latter two divisions being formed at or around the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the LBE business was heavily impacted by COVID-19 restrictions. Having stated its intention to dispose of Uvisan and seek investment for HBE, the Group's continuing operations for 2022 solely comprise the LBE business.

Whilst the Group has grown strongly since IPO, it was, like many businesses in the leisure sector, negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and its growth and finances impacted severely. Despite the LBE business growing strongly this has not been reflected in the Company's share price.  

LBE

The LBE business ended the year to 31 December 2022 slightly ahead of the Board's expectations of 500 installed headsets at 512.

The first three zoo installations featuring the new 'Gorilla Trek' offering were installed in Q3, with Dallas Zoo taking the first new modular solution in the final quarter. 

The Company has also signed a new 3-year framework agreement (running through to 31 December 2025) with Merlin, covering the 26 Merlin sites at which the LBE business has already installed or agreed to install a Virtual Reality (VR) attraction.

On the basis that LBE had remained the sole continuing operation (excluding the performance of HBE and Uvisan), the Group would have expected (subject to audit) to report revenue of circa £10.3m and EBITDA of circa £1.4m (net of central costs) for the year to 31 December 2022.

Whilst the Board believes that considerable growth opportunities are available to the LBE business, it is of the view that as a result of the current and continuing challenges presented by the macroeconomic environment, not least the cost-of-living crisis and inflationary pressures in the USA and UK, the trading environment could become far more challenging.  In addition, to accelerate growth of the LBE business further capital may be required.  The Board is doubtful that debt finance could be secured on acceptable terms and it is unwilling to seek to raise further equity capital at the Company's current valuation.  Accordingly, and in order to minimise risk for Shareholders and provide a significant liquidity event in highly uncertain markets, the Board has decided to pursue the Disposals.  

The Disposals value the LBE business at $25,211,739 (approximately £20.5m) on an enterprise value basis, ignoring any value attributed to the HBE business, or approximately 4.9p per existing Ordinary Share in the Company. 

HBE and Uvisan 

In the Company's full year results to 31 December 2021, the Group informed Shareholders that it intended to spin out the HBE and Uvisan businesses. Accordingly, and for the purposes of the Interim Results, Uvisan and HBE were treated as discontinued operations.

At the time of the Interim Results, the Board updated Shareholders that an in principle agreement (subject to contract) had been reached to sell Uvisan for an estimated cash consideration of £100k and that an in principle agreement had been reached for a £250k injection of capital into the HBE business by a third party in return for 51% ownership of that business). 

Following the publication of the Interim Results, the negotiation concerning the Disposals has presented an opportunity for the Company to realise meaningful cash proceeds, enabling the Board to review its strategic options, particularly in respect of HBE.  Based on the levels of product sales, the Board has always considered that HBE has significant potential and, since the Interim Results, HBE has developed and honed its business model further to have a greater B2B focus, undertaking a number of successful trials via its distribution partner, Wicked Vision, with QVC, a major global shopping channel. It has also seen success in getting its products, namely Let's Explore Oceans and Vodiac stocked by a number of premium retailers, including Amazon, Selfridges, Hamleys, Dixons and Fraser Group.

HBE has two key products.  "Let's Explore Oceans" is an educational VR pack that includes a smartphone-powered VR headset, holographic cube, and hardback book. Users have access to a number of oceanographic VR experiences as well as a selection of augmented reality experiences through the holographic cube.

The second product, Vodiac, is an affordable smartphone-powered VR headset and companion app which provides the user with 75 different virtual reality experiences to try across seven channels: Adrenaline, Explore, Wonders, Documentaries, Family, Relaxation and Thrills.

HBE's simplified business model has allowed it to reduce direct overheads and the board believes that the focus on B2B sales lowers the risk profile of the business and gives confidence in making the necessary stock investment to grow the business.

In the period following the Interim Results, QVC undertook a small trial in the UK selling some 3,000 Vodiac units in a single demonstration. The success of this led to a test in the USA, where 4,000 units were sold in a matter of hours, plus a 'Today's Special Value' promotion on QVC UK, where 23,000 units, some £800k of sales, were sold in a 24 hour period. Sales of the Let's Explore Oceans packs have been buoyant through both Amazon, and direct to consumers with this line selling out in Q4 2022.

Talks with our distribution partner are already underway about significantly larger orders for 2023 and beyond. Accordingly, the Board is of the view that following Completion and with the necessary financial resources to invest in the business, HBE has significant opportunities available to it and as such, conditional upon Completion, it is in the best interests of Shareholders as a whole to retain the HBE in its entirety. 

It has therefore been decided, in consultation with the investor (a company in which Martin Higginson, and his family have a minority ownership interest), to alter the terms of the above mentioned investment of capital to become a loan. The loan capital has allowed the HBE business to purchase the Vodiac stock sold in Q4 2022, in the process confirming to management that the HBE business is worth retaining. 

Related Party Transaction

Uvisan, which is considered de minimis and does not fit with the company's future objectives, has now been sold for consideration of £100,000 to a group of investors (including Uvisan management) that includes family members of David Marks. The participation in this transaction by David Marks' family is considered to result in a related party transaction under AIM Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies due to David Marks being a director of the Company. The Directors of the Company independent of Mr Marks consider, having consulted with Cenkos Securities PLC, the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's Shareholders are concerned.

Use of proceeds

Following Completion, the Group expects to have approximately £20m of cash net of transaction-related fees and inclusive of the Loan Notes which are payable on the 12-month anniversary of Completion (subject to exchange rate fluctuations, completion and other contractual adjustments).

Subject to the above and following consultation with certain of its significant Shareholders, it is the Directors' intention to return circa £13.5m of the net proceeds of the Disposals to Shareholders (equating to approximately 3p per share), subject to definitive legal and tax advice being sought, with the Board intending to retain approximately £6.5m of cash within the Company. Shareholders already consulted by the Board, are supportive of the Company retaining a proportion of the funds raised from the Proposed Transaction to invest in other opportunities.

The Board believes that there are considerable opportunities to use its skills to not only grow the HBE business, but to create a high growth trading group through strategic acquisitions. It believes the current landscape is 'capital constrained' and that there are established trading businesses that have proven their business model, but lack growth capital. The management's depth of knowledge both in terms of digital and media marketing, along with financial investment and restructuring, and the ability to perform at speed, makes it well placed to deliver opportunities to deliver enhanced shareholder value. One such acquisition has already been identified which the Board will, once the Proposed Transaction is complete, consider proceeding with.

As soon as practicable post Completion, a further circular will be sent to Shareholders setting out the procedure and mechanism for returning the majority of the cash proceeds to Shareholders and requesting the necessary Shareholder authorities.

Information on the Buyer

LBE BidCo, Inc. was incorporated by William Luby and James Collis for the purposes of making the acquisition. Ed Wise, former CEO of Omnicom Health Group, is also a part of the Investor group.

Mr. Luby and Mr. Collis have worked together for over 30 years in the private equity business with experience completing in excess of 100 acquisitions between them with a focus on the lower middle-market space. They have significant experience in investing in, and working with, companies in the media, entertainment and events sectors.

AIM Rule 15

In accordance with AIM Rule 15, the Disposals constitute a fundamental change of business of the Company. Accordingly, Shareholders are asked to vote in favour of the Disposals in Resolution 1.  On Completion, the Company will consist of the trading business, activities and assets of the HBE business together with the cash proceeds from the Disposals.

Proposed Board Changes

It is intended that Rodney Findley will remain with the LBE business and therefore conditional on Completion, he will resign as director of the Company.  The Board further intends that Dan Wortley, current Group Head of Finance will join the Board at the same time, subject to the necessary NOMAD due diligence process. David Marks will take on the role of Group Development Director which will allow Martin and David to focus on developing the HBE business and pursuing new growth opportunities for the Group.

Change of Name 

As part of the Disposals, it has been agreed that the Immotion name be retained by the LBE business. Accordingly, the Board of Directors proposes to change the Group's name from Immotion Group PLC to Let's Explore Group PLC.

A special resolution will therefore be proposed at the General Meeting to approve the change of name of the Company to Let's Explore Group PLC conditional on Completion. The name will be changed as soon as possible after Completion once the relevant paperwork has been processed by Companies House.

If the Resolution 2 is passed at the General Meeting, the Company's website and AIM ticker will be updated accordingly. The Company will update the market in due course of the new details.

Current Trading and Outlook 

Whilst the Company has seen solid growth in the LBE business, the Directors believe that the Proposed Transaction demonstrates that its value is not reflected in the current share price, and they believe that the market is undervaluing the value of this business. 

Whilst the Company is performing in-line with expectations, the Board believes that the Disposals represent a good price for the business in its current form and against the current market backdrop environment and enables the Board to provide Shareholders with a return of capital per share that is in excess of the current share price, as well as the opportunity to participate in further growth opportunities. 

Meanwhile, as noted above, the HBE business has enjoyed success with both its "Let's Explore Oceans" and Vodiac products. As set out above, both products sold out in Q4 2022.  Notwithstanding the current good trading the HBE business is experiencing, the revenue for the year ended 31 December 2022 are expected to be below the revenue for the year to 31 December 2021, this is as a direct result of the board not investing in further stock throughout 2022. As stated in previous announcements the decision was taken in early 2022 to utilise cash for the expansion of the core LBE business. The introduction of the £250,000 loan allowed the Company to purchase limited stock and successfully explore new B2B opportunities. This has given the Board confidence, following the sale of the LBE business, to further invest in this business.

The Board believes that given the current economic headwinds, there is, through strategic acquisitions along with growth in the HBE, an opportunity to deliver significant shareholder value. With the cash at its disposal, the Company believes it can deliver solid growth and an enhanced shareholder position.

Irrevocable undertakings

The Company has received a number of irrevocable undertakings, representing 130,673,719 shares, or 31.4% of the issued share capital to vote in favour of the resolutions.

General Meeting 

For the reasons explained in this announcement, the Completion is conditional upon, inter alia, the approval by the Shareholders of Resolutions 1 and 2 to be proposed at the General Meeting of the Company. 

A notice convening the General Meeting to be held at 10.00 a.m. on 21 February 2023 is set out at Part 2 of the Circular, at which the following Resolutions will be proposed: 

Resolution 1 - this is an ordinary resolution that the Proposal Sales on the terms of the SPA be approved. If it is not passed, Completion under the SPA will not occur.

Resolution 2 - this is a special resolution which changes the current name of the Company to avoid confusion with ISL and IVL, as required under the terms of the SPA. If it is not passed, Completion under the SPA will not occur.

Copies of documents 

A copy of the Circular and the Form of Proxy are and will be available free of charge for inspection on Immotion's website at www.immotion.co.uk. 

Recommendation 

The Board considers the Proposed Transaction to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. 

Accordingly, the Board recommends that you vote in favour of the Resolutions, as those Directors who hold Shares intend to do in respect of their own beneficial Shareholdings.
