In April 2016, the Company subscribed for 693 Preferred Units of Leap Gaming equal to 29.4 per cent interest (fully diluted units) for total cash consideration of US$2,500,000. At such time, the Company agreed to acquire a further 277 Ordinary Units for US$1 million (the "Secondary Closing") from an existing Unit Holder to be satisfied by the issue of 1,181,022 new ordinary shares (the "Consideration Shares") of 1p each in the Company ("Ordinary Share") equal to US$250,000 (each issued at an implied price of 15 pence per Ordinary Share at the agreed exchange rate of 0.708613 GBP per 1.00 USD as of 8 April 2016) with the balance (US$750,000) paid in cash. FastForward is pleased to announce that the Secondary Closing is now complete, bringing the Company's ownership interest in Leap Gaming to 41.15 per cent. (fully diluted units) for total consideration of US$3,500,000. With the completion of the Secondary Closing, FastForward now has the right to appoint two managers to the Board of Leap Gaming.

 

FastForward CEO, Lorne Abony, commented "I am delighted with the completion of FastForward's investment in Leap Gaming, the largest ownership stake we have taken in a portfolio company to date. We are excited with what we are already seeing Leap Gaming accomplish since our initial investment, as well as to assist in the continued growth of Leap Gaming's business."

 

"Norbert Teufelberger, Special Adviser to FastForward, added "Leap Gaming's technology is transformational in the gaming and leisure space, not only is it a game changer on digital channels; like mobile and web, but the opportunity to further break into land-based markets is now bigger then ever, I'm excited to be working with team to help make their vision a reality."
