BLINKX PLC

CHANGE OF NAME AND TIDM



London, England and San Francisco, CA. - 16 June 2016 - blinkx plc ("blinkx" or "the Company") today announces that it will change its name from blinkx plc to RhythmOne plc.



This move follows a transformational year for blinkx, which undertook a broad restructuring to focus on its Core capabilities of mobile, video and programmatic trading - in line with key Industry trends. blinkx launched the RhythmOne brand in FY2015 as the Company's trade entity, encompassing the go-forward product strategy and commercial proposition for the Company. Transitioning to the new name aligns the Company's overarching brand with dominant commercial and Industry growth drivers.



CEO S. Brian Mukherjee said, "Our transition to the RhythmOne name comes at a pivotal and exciting time for the Company. It underscores the significant integration and transformation efforts we have undertaken and reflects our Core focus on mobile, video and programmatic trading - the fastest growing segments within online advertising. With a unique combination of technology, talent and relationships in place, RhythmOne is poised to scale both organic and inorganic growth as the Industry continues to evolve and consolidate. We are enthusiastic about the promise FY2017 holds, and the opportunity to make RhythmOne a stand-out leader in the digital advertising landscape."



The Company's name will change to RhythmOne plc upon registration at Companies House and trading in the Company's ordinary shares under the new name is anticipated to commence with effect from 17 June 2016. The Company's London Stock Exchange Tradable Instrument Display Mnemonic ("TIDM") will change to RTHM. The Company's ISIN and SEDOL numbers for the ordinary shares will remain unchanged.



The new web address (investor.rhythmone.com) will go live today.

Lol... I see snake in the grass, Johnny boy, has set up a thread to spread negativity on 1R

Will start off subtle then become increasingly blatant

Just a thought?

Thanks Football. 15 times or $150m would be impressive. Non-core is due to settle/stabilize around 25% of revenues? And Core is still ramping.

[sikhthetech] 17/6/2016 09:23

I've created a new thread...


Do posters prefer a new thread or continue this one?

[leluot3] 17/6/2016 08:31

Great market reaction to AGM

As always


ZERO


Gimp gone limp

[stocky] 17/6/2016 07:45

Thanks, 1gw. What did you make of the 1500% increase in programmatic? Did they make this clear in terms of the starting point and time period being compared?

[wheeze] 17/6/2016 07:33

Echo thanks to 1gw and football.Was there any comment about Tosca and other key shareholders ?

[sikhthetech] 16/6/2016 21:25

Blinkx Plc to RhythmOne plc name change registered at Companies House...
AR still overdue..

[football] 16/6/2016 21:11

stocky Brian said up by times 15 and also 1500% from this time last year/agm

but still only cashing in on 1% of it! it's a big 1%/£150mil but that's were we need the groth to come from now

[geheimnis2] 16/6/2016 21:10

Yep

SC also mentioned he loves you

[kendonagasaki] 16/6/2016 21:10

Is that what they said, then?

[geheimnis2] 16/6/2016 21:07

Absolutely kendo

[kendonagasaki] 16/6/2016 21:04

Footy.....what did they say about watching quantcast?Is that still a reliable indicator?

[stocky] 16/6/2016 20:59

Thanks for the update, Football.The 1500% is a little confusing. Programmatic Volume increased 1200% according to the the Q4 update. So there is increased momentum. However this is from September 2015. What was used as the base?

[sikhthetech] 16/6/2016 20:52

1gw, thanks, that's great news re possible Guidance, qtr updates...
Share buy back - if they are seriously considering it for this year then it does show some confidence from the BoD..

[geheimnis2] 16/6/2016 20:45

I'm preparing another BIG BEAR post....


Mmmmm.....nice...

[1gw] 16/6/2016 20:19

STT - quarterly updates will continue. There was quite a bit of lobbying at the AGM for this to be more specific (i.e. quoting numbers) as well as requests for some forward guidance. Not sure we'll get far on the guidance request in the near term, but hopefully they took on board the need for some specifics where available.

On share buyback, I can see that football came away thinking it wasn't going to happen but I'm not so sure. In the informal session, BM made quite a point of saying that last year they didn't think it was appropriate (and implying that the board was unanimous in this view as with most things) but that the position now was different from the position last year (not going as far however as to imply that it was sufficiently different for them to change their view). So while I would agree that it is probably still unlikely, I wouldn't be shocked to see them announce something on a buyback at some point this year.

[gowlane] 16/6/2016 19:48

anyway thanks to Football and 1gw for the feedback

[gowlane] 16/6/2016 19:33

well at least we should have a Big Bear special coming up

maybe we should have nominated him to head up investor relations, he would be a sight better than this FTI crowd
