Technology stocks are the stocks of those companies that are engaged in the research & development of new technologies, or involved in the development, distribution and sale of goods and services related to technology.
In this article, we would be discussing five ASX-listed tech stocks, covering their recent developments, along with performance on the Australian stock exchange.
OneMarket Limited
OneMarket Limited (ASX: OMN) is a leading player in customer data management and activation, enabling mid-sized as well as evolving retailers to acquire new clients and significantly improve the lifetime value of existing customers.
Completion of Strategic Optionsâ Review
On 30 September 2019, OneMarket Limited announced the completion of the review of its strategic options, as unveiled by the company at the AGM held on 28 August 2019.
Mr Steven Lowy, the Chairman of OneMarket Limited in the AGM, highlighted that the board has been working proactively on reviewing options during most of the current financial year to boost the value of shareholders. When the review was started, the companyâs shares were trading at a materially low price than the price as on 30 September 2019. The background to the strategic review was that OMN was an early stage technology start-up with a higher risk profile linked to such ventures.
Since the company demerged from the Westfield Corporation and got separately listed on the ASX in June 2018, OMN made various adjustments to its operations in order to reduce expenditure as well as realign short-term priorities.
As part of the strategic review, the company has now considered a complete range of options for improving shareholdersâ value. These options include the sale of the assets of OMN, introduction of a significant new business partner/equity investor along with other opportunities to either improve or realise the value of OMN. The company received interest from various parties; however, none of them resulted in a firm proposal that the board believes could be secured through an orderly winding-up of the OneMarket group and return of the remaining surplus to shareholders.
As a result, the company has decided to proceed with an orderly winding-up of OMN, depending on the shareholder approvals. It would also be seeking to get delisted from ASX. Also, net assets of the company would be distributed to shareholders as soon as practicable, as part of the proposal.
Meanwhile, the company would be looking for options through which it could realise the value for its assets, subject to shareholder approvals. The company expects that there would be two distributions. The first distribution would be within the three months of the EGM, depending on shareholder approvals, and the other distribution would be after the completion of the winding-up process.
