Loan to Sportsdata Limited

Guscio PLC, the AIM quoted investment Company, is pleased to provide an update
on its investee company, Sportsdata Limited ("Sportsdata"), in which it holds a
30 per cent. interest.

The board of Sportsdata has announced today that it has signed an agreement
with the Charlton Athletic Community Trust ("CACT"), which is Charlton Athletic
Football Club's charitable arm, whereby CACT will promote, market and seek to
deliver the Skills2Achieve ("S2A") programme to local primary schools through
their community programme. In addition, CACT will seek to facilitate
introductions to other football clubs and related community projects.

This new business area within the football community has the potential to
rapidly accelerate the roll out of the Skills2Achieve programme. In order to
enable Sportsdata to pursue this opportunity, it requires further limited
working capital. Consequently, the Company has agreed to make a loan to
Sportsdata of �50,000. The loan is unsecured, repayable within 12 months and
attracts an interest rate of five per cent. per annum. The loan is not
convertible.

Guscio – what’s afoot?
By ShareProphets | Tuesday 30 June 2015

The stockmarket has taken a two day thrashing but the odd company has bucked that trend and such outliers perhaps merit investigation. That brings us to Guscio (GUSC), an investment company born out of a failed media business. Its shares trade a touch better today at 9.125p valuing the enterprise at just over £1.5 million.

Guscio has just one investment – Sportsdata a sports support services firm promoting the Skills2Achieve programme. Guscio has also loaned cash to Sportsdata to allow it to tap into the huge soccer market. A recent tie up with Charlton – a pioneer and leader in community based outreach – makes supporters think there could be massive growth potential.

The question is what sort of stake in Sportsdata will Guscio ended up with and also when will it start to publish some forecasts on what it could deliver? The company has some high profile backers including Nigel Wray (Britain’s Buffett) and also Chairman Richard Thompson. Even in these awful markets it might be worth a small flutter."

Guscio today announces that that a General Meeting of the Company will be held at 10.00 a.m. on 1 September 2015 at the offices of Peterhouse Corporate Finance Limited, 3 New Liverpool House, 15 Eldon Street, London EC2M 7LD for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing resolutions pertaining to the grant of general authority to the Company to allot Ordinary Shares and to disapply pre-emption rights. Further details of the proposals are set out below.

EXPECTED TIMETABLE OF PRINCIPAL EVENTS

Publication of the Circular 11 August 2015
Latest time for receipt of Forms of Proxy for General Meeting 10.00 a.m. 27 August 2015
General Meeting 10.00 a.m. 1 September 2015

Future times and dates are indicative only and are subject to change by the Company. If the expected timetable of events changes from the above, the Company will release an announcement to this effect. References to time in this announcement are to London time.

Introduction

As shareholders are aware, the Company disposed of its two trading subsidiaries, Talent Holdings and Talent South, on 8 September 2014 and was re-classified as a non-operating investing Company in accordance with the AIM Rules. Following the disposals, the Companys Investing Policy has been to invest in and/or acquire technology and media companies and/or assets where the Board believes there are opportunities for growth which, if achieved, will be earnings enhancing for Shareholders.

Since the approval of the Investing Policy the Company has raised, in aggregate, 864,000 and has therefore been able to commence implementation of its Investment Policy. The Company has made its first investment, being the acquisition of a 30 per cent. interest in the issued share capital of Sportsdata Limited ("Sportsdata"), over a three month period from December 2014 to February 2015 and has subsequently supplied a further loan to Sportsdata in June 2015. Sportsdata is a technology company that has developed and implemented a website application for the purposes of monitoring and improving physical literacy and the participation of children in sports and active pursuits at school. The website has been developed with Youth Sports Trust ("YST"), a leading charity for sports-driven and educational programmes. Sportsdata has entered into a collaboration agreement with YST to utilise the website via a recently launched Skills2Achieve programme. The Skills2Achieve programme has started selling licenses to operate the website to primary schools throughout the United Kingdom.

In addition, in April 2015 the Company also strengthened its Board with the addition of Gail Ganney and John Steele as Non-Executive Directors. Gail and John bring a wealth of knowledge and contacts in their respective fields and are a great benefit to the business as it continues to develop its plans within the education and sports technology sector.

As an investing company in accordance with the AIM Rules, the Company is required to make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitutes a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules or otherwise implement its Investing Policy on or before the date falling 12 months from the adoption of the Investing Policy failing which, the Ordinary Shares will be suspended from trading on AIM. Accordingly, the Company must implement its Investing Policy to the satisfaction of the London Stock Exchange by no later than 9 September 2015. In the event that the Ordinary Shares are so suspended and the Company fails to make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules or otherwise implement its proposed Investing Policy, the admission to trading on AIM would be cancelled six months from the date of suspension.

Currently the Company has not substantially implemented its Investing Policy to the satisfaction of the London Stock Exchange and Guscio may therefore become suspended from trading on AIM. The Company has been actively looking for complementary acquisition and investment targets to Sportsdata in the educational technology sector with a view to making further investments in accordance with the Investing Policy and to achieve certainty regarding satisfaction of implementation of the Investing Policy in accordance with the AIM Rules.

While the Company has undertaken a significant amount of due diligence and negotiations are advanced on a number of potential investments, there is no guarantee that a transaction will be completed. It is, however, envisaged that any future transactions, being acquisitions/investments, fundraisings, or, any other corporate activity, may require the issue of new Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, the Company is seeking new general authorities for the issuance of Ordinary Shares now, such that it provides the Company with flexibility and agility to more readily proceed with potential transactions.

Outlook

As set out in the Companys interim results for the six month period ended 31 March 2015 which were announced on 4 June 2015, the Company's financial position has been strengthened. In total, 864,000 (860,000 net of costs) has been raised by the issue of new Ordinary Shares.

The Company is confident that it has identified exciting investment opportunities and that further complementary investment opportunities can be identified in the coming weeks and months. Therefore, the Board is confident that implementation of the Investing Policy can, and hopefully will, provide Shareholders with capital growth over time.

Thanks Good I have no stock because this is a disgusting thing to do to the present shareholders, placing @ 2p when share price was suspended at 8.20p. Look at the time 15:45 and Friday ( no one it going to see it is the idea )
