New Zealand resident BAI shareholders can subscribe,
up to $50,000 of new shares at $0.60 per share.
Funds will be allocated in three ways:
→acquisition of complementary businesses;
→investment in Being Technology initiatives; and
→the development of Charter School initiatives.
Solutions Dynamics Limited
We have recently approached Solution Dynamics Limited
(SDL) to indicate that we are considering making a takeover
offer to acquire a controlling interest in SDL.
SDL is a provider of global customer communications
management as a service. SDL enables organisations
to both better engage their customers digitally and optimize
the production and distribution of their international mail
closer to its end destination.
Solutions Dynamics Limited
We have indicated to SDL we would be prepared to
acquire SDL shares through either a 100% BAI scrip option
or an offer for a combination of cash and BAI scrip.
We believe the takeover offer is a compelling and unique
opportunity for SDL shareholders to realise significant
value for their investment in SDL, and an opportunity
to participate in the growth of Being AI.
Solutions Dynamics Limited
We believe that the acquisition of a controlling interest
in SDL would be advantageous for Being AI given:
→The synergies between SDL and our own
Send Global operations; and
→The opportunity to strategically implement new
technology initiatives to optimise the business operations
of SDL, and to future proof that business from being overtaken
by the incoming technology wave which risks rendering old
school business models like SDL obsolete in a few yearsʼ time.
Solutions Dynamics Limited
We will keep the market appraised of any developments
in respect of this process.
