ADM completes US$850 million dual tranche capital raise

 KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 — ADM has announced completion of the second of its two previously announced capital raising transactions, namely the issuance of US$300 million aggregate principal amount of zero-coupon bonds, due in 2023 and exchangeable into Wilmar shares. (US$1 = RM4.167)

When combined with ADM’s secondary block trade of Wilmar shares, which settled on Aug 24, ADM has raised approximately US$850 million of capital, according to a statement.

ADM expects to use the net proceeds from the transactions for general corporate purposes, including potential bolt-on acquisitions; the opportunistic repurchase of ADM shares, which has already begun; and the retirement of higher coupon long-term debt commensurate to the exchangeable bond to ensure the bond transaction is leverage-neutral.

“We’re committed to continuing to expand our leadership and innovation across the value chain, for the benefit of our customers, partners and shareholders,” said ADM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Juan Luciano.

ADM expects a book gain of approximately US$0.12 per share on the block trade in the third quarter; the gain will be treated as a special item for adjusted EPS purposes.

The company does not anticipate any material book or cash tax impacts. ADM’s investment in Wilmar after the transaction represents a market value of approximately US$4.4 billion; the company will continue to account for it on an equity basis.

Streamed video content dominates media and entertainment consumption in Asia-Pacific

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 19 -- The ‘Brightcove Q2 2020 Global Video Index Entertainment and Media Edition’ has found that OTT streaming of entertainment content continued to dominate, even as governments began loosening stay-at-home restrictions.

Published by the world’s leading video technology platform, Brightcove Inc, the data suggests that consumers’ media consumption habits may be permanently shifting away from linear TV, cementing streaming as the go-to choice for entertainment viewing.

Brightcove’s Q2 2020 Global Video Index analyses hundreds of billions of recent data points from Brightcove’s customers globally to provide insights into how viewers are watching video content.

The Q2 data shows that consumption of news and entertainment content nearly doubled (40 per cent) from Q1 (23 per cent) – a significant finding, considering Q2 typically sees slower growth in video viewing compared to Q1.

Looking at the first half of 2020 compared to 2019, the number of views overall is up more than 30 per cent, according to a statement.

In addition, where consumers choose to view their content is also shifting. Connected TVs saw the most growth in Q2 (160 per cent year-over-year), indicating a resurgence in larger screens as the viewing medium of choice for entertainment.

Other notable findings that are specific to the Asia-Pacific region include: smartphones are the primary screen for video; Android-based smartphones continue to dominate the market; and consumers increasingly watch ultra-long-form content on mobile devices.

AD-TECH COMPANY BUZZVIL TIGHTENS GRIP IN THE US, JAPAN, TAIWAN

 SEOUL, South Korea, Aug 14 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Buzzvil, a global leader of rewarded ads platform, announced that it launched the world’s first bubble-like ad inventory, Pop, to tighten its grip in the global ad-tech market, including the United States, Taiwan, and Japan.

The Softbank-backed company Buzzvil has more than 100 global publishers, including South Korea's three major mobile carriers and membership operators, such as OK Cashbag, L.Point, CJ ONE, Happy Point, Hana Members, Liiv Mate, as well as Japan’s largest railway company JRE and point operator Ponta. The company is also in talks with U.S. point operator AppKarma and Taiwan’s UUPON.

John Lee, CEO of the company, said, "Buzzvil has dominated the South Korean market with our SDK (software development kit) solutions. With our offices in the U.S., Taiwan, and Japan, we will now provide yet another innovative solution to optimize ad revenue for our global publishers.”

In June, Buzzvil introduced Pop to its enhanced lineup of marketing solutions. This bubble-like unit will act as a shortcut utility tool, allowing the app user to use certain features and consume content of the app right from the home screen. The unit also generates additional ad revenue for publishers by displaying rewarded ads. A patent for this unit has recently been filed.

Buzzvil will apply for patents on a number of machine learning-based technologies, including a dynamic ad system that displays rewarded ads only to valuable customers, and systems that identify fraudulent users so marketers can optimize advertising costs, eventually allowing publishers to see optimal returns.

Meanwhile, Buzzvil recently raised 20.5 billion Korean won (17 million USD) in series C from Mega-7 Club for its compelling reward-based ad tech that maximizes ad revenue for publishers. The Mega-7 Club, dubbed as South Korea’s version of Softbank Vision Fund, consists of returning investors LB Investments, Company K Partners and new investors SBI Investments, Korea Development Bank and Shinhan Bank.

The deal follows the fast-growing company’s series B in 2015 from LB Investments and Company K Partners, alongside other investors, and series A from Softbank Ventures Asia in 2014.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 12 -- Northern Trust and BondEvalue have completed the first trade of a fractionalised blockchain-based bond known as BondbloX.
