Britain’s manufacturers are stepping up their ESG commitments as the topic rises rapidly on the boardroom agenda in response to the growing labour market, government, investor and customer pressure.

The number of firms setting ESG targets for their business has increased by 48%, with around two thirds (62%) of manufacturers now doing so since 2021, according to a new report launched today by Make UK and Lloyds Bank – ESG in Manufacturing: Growth, Supply Chain Cooperation and the Future of Sustainability in the Industry.

The report, which looked at the progress, opportunities and challenges faced by UK manufacturers looking to improve their ESG strategies, also finds that more than three quarters (77%) of firms are receiving ESG requests from their customers, but less than half say they have the resources required to meet them, highlighting a need for greater support.

The technology might finally bend copyright past the breaking point, upending what it means to have a creative society in the process. Who would spend all that time and emotional energy writing a book if anyone could rip the thing off without consequence? This is the sentiment behind at least nine recent copyright-infringement lawsuits against companies that are using tens of thousands of copyrighted books—at least—to train generative-AI systems. One of the suits alleges “systematic theft on a mass scale.” — Alex Reisner, “Generative AI Is Challenging a 234-Year-Old Law,” The Atlantic, February 29, 2024

Bidstack Group Plc

("Bidstack" or the "Company" or the "Group")

Settlement and new commercial partnership with Azerion

Bidstack Group Plc (AIM: BIDS) is pleased to announce that on 22 December 2023 it reached a settlement and new commercial partnership with Azerion. Following extensive discussions both parties have agreed to resolve the claims that are currently pending at the Amsterdam Court, any other commercial disputes and move forward collaboratively.

A total payment of EUR 3 million will be made by Azerion for the settlement and the new commercial partnership set out below.

Following the settlement, Bidstack and Azerion will enter into a new commercial partnership which will be operational in early 2024. Bidstack will work with Azerion's supply side platform, Improve Digital on a non-exclusive basis to enable Azerion to access Bidstack's premium gaming inventory.

James Draper, Founder/CEO, Bidstack said

"Bidstack and Azerion will move forward collaboratively following extensive discussions to settle all outstanding disagreements. We will resume working together in markets outside of the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, South Korea and Germany, to grow the in-game advertising market through Azerion's network of global and local brands."

Sebastiaan Moesman, CRO & CSO, Azerion said

"We are pleased to announce both the settlement of all past disagreements and a new commercial alliance between our companies going forward. After resolving our previous differences, what remains is two companies in the same industry with a complementary offering. We are therefore looking forward to re-establishing our relationship in 2024 and integrating Bidstack's technology and in-game advertising opportunities into our offering towards our advertisers again."


On 18 October 2023, the Company announced that it had agreed to enter into the CLN with Irdeto. In order to enable Irdeto to utilise the CLN, drawdown of the further tranches of the Loan Agreement, beyond the initial tranche taken on or around the date of execution of the CLN, was conditional on both (i) the approval by the Company's shareholders of a share capital reorganisation; and (ii) the approval of a waiver of Rule 9 ("Rule 9 Waiver") of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers ("City Code") by the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers ("the Panel") and the independent shareholders of the Company, voting on a poll, in a general meeting (because, if the drawdowns of the loan facility within the CLN were fully taken, at the earliest possible opportunity, and the Company made no cash repayments, Irdeto could own in excess of 50% of the TVR of the Company therefore, pursuant to the terms of the CLN, the Company was required to seek the approval of the Rule 9 Waiver from the Panel.).



To obtain approval from the Panel, the Company is required to submit a draft shareholder circular to the Panel containing all information required by the Panel in relation to the Rule 9 Waiver. In order to provide the Company with the requisite information within its circular, Irdeto had sought to obtain the required disclosures from its parent company, Multichoice Group Limited (JHB:MCG) ("Multichoice").



As at the date hereof, Irdeto has not obtained the appropriate disclosures and requisite documentation from Multichoice and its board of directors and as a result the Company has not been able to submit its draft circular and notice of general meeting to the Panel for review.



Financial update

The Settlement and new commercial partnership with Azerion was announced on the 22 December 2023. Payments totalling EUR 3m have been made by Azerion in consideration of both the full and final settlement to resolve all outstanding claims and disputes and the establishment and activation of a new technical and commercial collaboration between the companies. Both companies are moving forward collaboratively and will work together on a non-exclusive basis.

To date, Bidstack has drawn down one tranche of £0.6m from the CLN and, as a result of the delays stated above, does not currently expect to make any further draw downs. Despite the recent receipt of the cash settlement reached with Azerion the Group's working capital position remains tight and will need further working capital in the short term.



The Group has continued to manage its cash resources very carefully. At 31 January 2024 the Group's unaudited cash balance was approximately £1.4m which, without further external funding, and assuming the Company cannot utilise any more funds from the CLN, the Group only has sufficient cash resources until the end of March 2024.



Strategic Review



Whilst the Company is keen to continue to work with Irdeto as previously announced, the Board of the Company feels that it must also consider other funding alternatives and has decided to initiate a strategic review. The Board has appointed Alvarez & Marsal Europe LLP, a restructuring adviser who, alongside the Company and its other advisers, will look at all options for the future of the Group which may or may not involve a sale of the Company's assets.

'Imagine the intrigue when a private jet, bearing the enigmatic call sign 'Mr Big,' touches down at Dublin Airport, straight from London Southend. This isn't just any aircraft; it's a luxurious Lear Jet valued at a cool £11.7 million. The flight path of this jet, having previously jetted from Chambery to Southend before its Irish landing, sparked an online frenzy. Flight enthusiasts and the curious alike took to social media, all abuzz with speculation: Who could be behind the mysterious 'Mr Big'? As it turns out, the jet is owned by Patrick Heffron and Creighton Boyd, the enterprising minds behind the Neptune Group, dispelling the shroud of mystery that once surrounded this high-profile arrival.'
