The funds raised will be used for acquisitions of content and to fund new co-productions, as well as to grow the group's digital distribution channels.

Management plans to de-list from Aim as soon "as practicable" and is keen to move to the NYSE as it feels it offers a more relevant peer group for comparisons, broader analyst coverage, higher liquidity and better access to additional equity.
