These shares will be issued alongside 7,000,000 Placing Shares, bringing the total number of new ordinary shares to be issued under the full fundraise to 7,625,459.

Zinc Media's Factual Television Labels and Commercial Content Units Underpin Fundraise Context

Zinc Media Group operates a portfolio of premium factual television labels — including Brook Lapping, Tern Television, Raw Cut, Atomic, Electric Violet, Rex, Red Sauce, Supercollider, Tomas TV, and Bumblebee Post-Production — producing programmes across factual genres for UK and international broadcasters. The group also runs a commercial content division comprising The Edge, described as one of the UK's largest brand film-making companies, and Zinc Audio, which specialises in podcasts and radio production. The fundraise proceeds are intended to support this multi-label, multi-platform production business, though specific intended use of proceeds was not disclosed in this announcement.

Updated Fundraise Timetable Sets General Meeting for On or Around 26 November 2026

The company and its advisers have revised the expected timetable for completing the fundraise. The shareholder Circular is now expected to be published on or around 10 November 2026, with the General Meeting scheduled for on or around 26 November 2026. Admission and commencement of dealings in the new ordinary shares on AIM, along with crediting of shares to CREST accounts, are both targeted for 8.00 a.m. on or around 27 November 2026. A Long Stop Date of 8.00 a.m. on 11 December 2026 has also been confirmed. Singer Capital Markets is acting as Nominated Adviser, Sole Bookrunner, and Sole Broker.

Fundraise Remains Conditional on Rule 9 Waiver, Financing Approval, and Shareholder Resolutions

Investors may be watching the conditions attached to the fundraise closely. The announcement confirms that Admission remains conditional upon the passing of shareholder resolutions at the General Meeting, the granting of Financing Approval, the obtaining of a Rule 9 Waiver, and the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional without termination by SCM Securities. These are material conditions, and failure to satisfy any one of them could prevent the fundraise from completing. When issued, the new ordinary shares will rank pari passu with existing ordinary shares, including rights to any dividends and distributions declared after the date of issue.
