Will Oliver Mcintosh’s Verticast Media Group Acquire CVM TV From Michael Lee Chin? Part 1

Published

on

There is an interesting line in a number of privately circulated private placement documents from the Oliver Mcintosh-led Verticast Media Group Limited.

The line reads, “To assist with the Acquisition of traditional media company and the Broadcast Rights of the English Premier League for 2023 – 2026 and the FIFA World Cup 2022.”

The “To assist with the Acquisition of traditional media company” is what got our attention. So, we started to ask around, tapping into people we knew would have some insights into this potential deal. We asked them which traditional media company this could be, and the name that kept coming up was CVM TV.

So, we probed further, why the Michael Lee Chin majority owned and controlled CVM TV?

Several people said to be somewhat close to Oliver Mcintosh claimed that he has always held the desire to acquire and operate a free-to-air media outfit and CVM TV would be a perfect fit for what he is embarking on with Verticast Media Group.

Based on comments placed by Mcintosh already in the public media we know that he has already acquired the Broadcast Rights of the English Premier League for 2023 – 2026 and the FIFA World Cup 2022. So, the insertion of this line may be an attempt to deficit attention or he has not paid for the rights yet and now seeking the funding. Given the highly competitive nature for the rights acquisition we suspect that he has already secured these rights by way of loans or debt financing and now looking for the funds to pay them off.

Given this context, the question now is which traditional media company is Oliver Mcintosh seeking to raise at least US$49M for, with the option to upsize if the market responds favourably. He is doing this by way of several instruments, including.

  • US$26M Secured US$ Fixed Rate Bond
  • Private Issue Of Ordinary Shares Up To US$13.2M
  • USs$9M Convertible Preferred Shares

He also intends to execute, as a possible exit for early investors, an IPO within 36 months after the Issue Date and apply to list its shares on the Jamaica Stock Exchange.

So how does CVM TV fit into Oliver Mcintosh’s grand plan? Let’s look at what CVM TV has to offer….Part 2
