AIM - LOSERS

tinyBuild Inc, down 26% at 4.52p, 12-month range 4.26p-117.46p. The video games publisher says it is currently trading below expectations in its fourth quarter, amid an "unusually weak" October. It also said it agreed to settle a litigation, forking out USD3.5 million. tinyBuild now expects 2023 revenue between USD40 and USD50 million, at best a 4.1% decline from the USD52.2 million it achieved in 2022. As part of legal settlement, tinyBuild has agreed to pay claimants, including the founder of recently-acquired Versus Evil, USD3.5 million in cash, in addition to legal costs. Steve Escalante, as well as two other claimants, alleged tinyBuild "breached three material obligations", including not providing Versus Evil with "timely capital contributions" in the 2022 and 2023 financial years. Finally, tinyBuild CEO Alex Nichiporchik has shown a "willingness" to underwrite a future equity fundraise of up to USD10 million, the firm says.
