    completed the subscription of 5,130,000 ordinary shares of 10 pence each
    ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 15 pence per share raising a total of GBP
    769,500. The Company's enlarged share capital of 6,230,000 Ordinary Shares will

    Simian Global, is a special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC") incorporated
    in the United Kingdom and established to undertake the acquisition of a company
    or a business in the technology, media and telecommunications ("TMT") sector. 
     

    Company Strategy:

    ·      Simian Global is seeking to acquire companies within the TMT sector to
    capitalise on growing consolidation opportunities and create shareholder value
    by driving positive change. The company is looking at targets across the entire
    TMT value chain.

    ·      The management team, consisting initially of Edward Ng and Ajay Rajpal,
    have international experience in sourcing M&A opportunities.

    ·      As part of any acquisition, the Company will seek re-admission of the
    enlarged group following the acquisition through a reverse takeover to trading
    on the London Stock Exchange or admission to another stock exchange.

    ·     Simian Global's management team is looking for a company with a strong
    competitive industry position; large potential for growth, particularly on a
    cross-border, international basis; a strong and experienced management team.

    Edward Ng, the Company's Executive Director commented: "The global TMT
    marketplace, is one of the largest but most fragmented markets in the world.
    This, combined with an increasing demand from key customers for pan-regional
    expertise and coverage, means that this largely de-consolidated market is
    primed for investment and consolidation.

    The knowledge and experience of the Board will drive implementation of the
    defined company strategy, with a key focus on enhancing shareholder value and
    generating strong returns for investors.

    We are very pleased to have secured investment for the Admission and look
    forward to executing our stated acquisition strategy for the benefit of all our
    shareholders."
