EXERCISE OF CONVERTIBLE LOAN NOTE ("CLN") OPTION WITH EVOO AI PLC

 

Sealand Capital Galaxy Limited [LSE: SCGL] ("Sealand" or the "Company"), an IT, Social Media & Technology company focused on consolidating compelling technology opportunities in the global marketplace, is pleased to announce that further to the CLN & Partnership agreement entered with EVOO AI PLC ("EVOO") on 10^th January 2025 that can be viewed here the Company has exercised its option under the Convertible Loan Note Agreement to extend a further £100,000 under the terms entered.

 

Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Thomas Sawyer commented,

 

"It continues to be an active and busy start to 2025 as the Company works on driving value through progressing exciting opportunities and generating value across our portfolio businesses. We continue to proactively work with the EVOO team, with the recent launch of SEA-VOO representing a promising opportunity for our APAC business interests at a time when the competitive landscape for the utilisation of large language AI models has been positively impacted by the launch of DeepSeek AI.

 

Our decision to extend EVOO further capital under the CLN structure entered into earlier this month signifies our commitment to the working partnership and a belief in the future value that this can bring. The immense global interest in AI and related generative models is providing huge opportunity to leverage these in real-world, impactful business models. However, this ease of access also brings a risk of oversaturation in crowded marketplaces that may struggle to create material brand identities. EVOO's expertise and positioning in a unique marketplace for luxury goods that, if executed effectively, will consolidate e-commerce and social media to add genuine value using this creative technology. These are important themes that we are committed to delivering on, and the Sealand team and I look forward to providing further updates."
