In todays Daily Mail - Wandisco link boosts 1Spatial



Buyers were all suddenly over aim listed 1Spatial like a rash on hearing that David Richards will soon become deputy non-executive chairman.
He has a growing city fan club after bringing his co-founded software company WANDISCO to the junior market last June at 180p and seeing it rocket to trade above £10 months later. At last nights flat close of 952.5p, his near -16pc stake is worth more than £36m.
Shares of the provider of the location-based information company jumped 1.38p or 20pc to a 52 week high or 8.12p on hopes that Richards would have also subscribed for shares in yesterdays £18m placing. Some 300 million shares were placed at 6p a pop to help fund an earnings enhancing European acquisition.
Dealers heard that some of the very same institutions behind WANDISCO, including smaller company Expert Hargreave Hale, were big supporters of 1Spatial.
1Spatial is acquiring Star-Apic , a Belgium based provider of Geographic information systems software and solutions , specialising in land and infrastructure management.
Analysts believe the complementary bolt-on significantly enhances the company's capability in the rapidly growing Big Data market. Some of the worlds biggest agencies rely on 1Spatial, such as the Ordnance Survey in Britain which uses its software to update its records every day.

http://www.techmarketview.com/ukhotviews/archive/2013/05/24/1spatial-aims-for-the-stars-well-star-apic?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Thanks dc. I was not being funny last evening but I get very frustrated sometimes when I know I am right. Not your issue but mine!!! It was a game for me years ago but no longer as so much has gone t--s up, however maybe although I only have £500 invested and have for many years I would like to see a return before I pop my cloggs. Beautiful day today here and done too much as the weather is going to break again on Monday so I believe. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Good luck to you as you must be on a winner here.

I know 3m, you are right the money am charts are -----. I do not think David Richards for one moment would put his name to this company if it was a non performer. MVO.
Lets hope this one climbs like Wandisco has. Have a good evening 3m, the suns out as
well. :-))

Strong purchasing this morning.

David Richards appointment with all his contacts , I'm sure is playing a big part in this rise.

DC, I was interested in the chart above right as it appeared to have a gap down.

Unfortunately I don't think the chart is correct.

3m said the same skinny.

Has he been appointed yet? Still it is nice to see this rising but a long haul for me yet and I don't feel like putting anymore money into shares as I have got a lot of work to be done on my home. Sods law I will probably wish I had averaged down but one has to get their priorities right.

Money am has to get on top of this, not good enough.

Acquisition of an additional 14.86% of Star-Apic



1Spatial plc (AIM:SPA), the Spatial Big Data Company, has entered into a conditional agreement to purchase a further 14.86% of the issued share capital of Star-Apic from Meusinvest S.A ("Meusinvest"), based on the same valuation terms as the initial purchase agreement, announced on Friday 24 May of its intention to acquire 75.14% of the Company.



The additional share purchase is conditional upon, inter alia, the passing of the Resolutions by the Company's shareholders at the General Meeting (to be held at 10.00 a.m. on 12 June 2013 at the offices of Brown Rudnick LLP, 8 Clifford Street, London W1S 2LQ), the completion of the Acquisition of 75.14% of Star-Apic as detailed in the Company's Circular dated 24 May and the signing of a new shareholders' agreement between the Company and Meusinvest. If the conditions are satisfied, this will take the Company's total holding in Star-Apic to 90.00%. Meusinvest will keep a 10.00% shareholding and a representative on the Board of Star-Apic.



Star-Apic is a leading European provider of Geographic Information Systems ("GIS") software and solutions, specialising in land and infrastructure management. It is headquartered in Belgium, with offices in France and the UK. Its software is used to create, manage, analyse and display geospatial data. 1spatial's Directors believe Star-Apic is an important and highly complementary bolt-on acquisition for the Company, significantly enhancing the Company's capability in the rapidly growing Big Data market.



Capitalised terms used in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Circular.

On Thursday, 1Spatial PLC (SPA:LSE) closed at 9.00, 2.60% below its 52-week high of 9.24, set on Mar 06, 2013.

STORY

Headquartered in Cambridge and with offices in Australia, Ireland and Belgium, 1Spatial’s software is used to create, manage, analyse and display geospatial data. Customers include Unilever(ULVR) , Unisys (UIS:NYSE) , US Census, Ordnance Survey GB, the Brazilian Army and Ordnance Survey Ireland. Last month it appointed WANdisco chief executive officer David Richards (see page 18) as the non-executive deputy chairman, a boardroom coup.

BIG DATA PITCH

It recently tapped investors for £18 million to buy a 75% stake in Star-Apic, a Belgium-based provider of Geographic Information Systems software and solutions, specialising in land and infrastructure management. Considering that some of the world’s biggest agencies rely on 1Spatial, such as the Ordnance Survey in Britain, which uses its software to update its records every day, this looks a smart move that will significantly add to the company’s capability in the rapidly growing big data market. The fresh funds will also bolster sales and support in a new Middle East office, allow ongoing research and development and provide the firepower for more acquisitions down the line.



It’s been said in the past that 1Spatial was too early to the big data space, it struggled simply because many customers and potential clients assumed the theme was for the future, not today. But they seem to be catching up and this bodes well for the £29 million cap. It chalked-up revenues of £5.2 million last year to end January, but that figure was surpassed in this year’s first half alone, with sales jumping 146% to £6.4 million. This implies something around £12 million to £13 million for the 12 months to be confirmed when the finals are published probably next month. No forecasts are available but that could mean a break into the black.

COMPANY SAYS (Marcus Hanke, CEO)

‘Given the recent success and interest 1Spatial has seen in new markets, such as utilities, and the need to map networks and gain accurate insight into assets, Star-Apic is seen as a key acquisition opportunity, providing many benefits to support the group’s expansion plans and goals.’

this is a high risk, high reward stock which tells you all ...... instant profit of any size is unlikely, but maybe one to stick in the drawer with the premium bonds

- 1Spatial completes acquisition of Star-Apic -

- David Richards appointed deputy non-executive Chairman -



1Spatial plc (AIM:SPA), the Spatial Big Data Company, held its General Meeting today, 12 June 2013, and all the resolutions proposed at the meeting were duly passed.



Placing



1Spatial has completed the Placing of300,000,000 new Ordinary Shares at the Placing Price of 6p per share with certain institutional investors, raising approximately £17 million of net proceeds for the Company and equating to 46.1 per cent of the enlarged issued share capital.



The new Ordinary Shares will rank equally with the existing Ordinary Shares in the Company. Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange plc for these Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is anticipated to commence at 8.00am on 13 June 2013.



On Admission the Company will have 650,415,354 Ordinary Shares of 1p each in issue, with each share carrying the right to one vote. No shares are held in treasury. Therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company is 650,415,354. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.



Acquisition



1Spatial has completed the 90% acquisition of Star Apic, the leading European provider of Geographic Information Systems ("GIS") software and solutions.



1Spatial believes Star-Apic is an important and highly complementary bolt-on acquisition for the Company, significantly enhancing the Company's capability in the rapidly growing Big Data market.



The Directors believe that Star-Apic will provide:



· a utilities solution that can be sold into existing customers and markets as well as into new markets;

· access to new markets, such as France and North Africa;

· additional services and products to the Group's existing customer base. The Elyx software platform is built on the same core technology as 1Spatial's technology and can be integrated into the 1Spatial Management Suite easily and efficiently;

· a map publishing tool (Mercator) to produce digital and paper maps which can be added onto 1SMS; and

· additional product development resource to develop new products aligned to perceived customer needs.

Previous:

Commenting on today's news, Marcus Hanke, Chief Executive of 1Spatial said:



"I am happy to announce we have completed the Placing and subsequent Acquisition of Star-Apic. Star-Apic is seen as a key acquisition opportunity, providing many benefits to support the Group's expansion plans and goals. In addition the appointment of David Richard as deputy non-executive Chairman will bring a wealth of experience to the Board".





About Star-Apic:



Star-Apic is Belgium incorporated and a leading European provider of GIS software and solutions, specialising in infrastructure management (mainly utilities) and land management with offices in Belgium, France and the UK. Elyx, its proprietary end-to-end software solution is used to make the best use of geographic data to improve efficiencies and derive business benefits. Over the last three years, Star-Apic has successfully migrated its existing customers onto this new Elyx technology. Like 1SMS, Elyx is based on Oracle database technology. Following the acquisition, it is intended that Elyx will be updated so it can be integrated into 1SMS, thereby making use of the Group's accuracy and validation engine.



Founded 30 years ago and currently employing 110 people, Star-Apic has three product areas:



- Elyx Suite - the core product end-to-end land management and infrastructure solutions software;

- Mercator - Cartographic publishing software; and

- indoor location data centre infrastructure management software.



Mercator, a tool for the cartographic publishing of maps into digital and paper form, will be a complementary additional product which can be added into 1SMS. The Indoor location data centre software is noncore software but has value. Its value and fit into the Group will be fully assessed post acquisition.
