Sandy Barblett, Executive Director of WeCap said,
"WeShop's Draft Registration Statement to SEC for Proposed Direct Listing is a significant goal and we congratulate the WeShop team on this major milestone.
WeShop is unique in that it believes in share democratisation which is delivered through its revolutionary ShareBack® mechanism. WeShop will enable the majority of the company to be owned by the community that uses it.
The proposed listing will unlock the next and seminal step in the WeShop journey and excitingly open up new global territories for the WeShop app.
The proposed listing would also give WeCap a direct see-through valuation from its approximately 16% current holding in WeShop on an enlarged basis* and would be a major step forward in providing our shareholders with a liquidity event that should be transformational to the value of WeCap."
* The approximately 16% holding in WeShop assumes an in-specie distribution of WeCap's shareholding in Community Social Investments Limited ("CSIL"), WeCap holds 23.5% of CSIL, a private company whose only asset is 8,333,333 shares in WeShop.
The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for the contents of this announcement.
