New York, Australia, Nov. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alta Global Group (NYSE American: MMA) (“Alta” or the “Company”), a pioneering technology company seeking to aggregate and drive participation in combat sports, announced today it has successfully arranged a $2.1 million fundraise via a private placement of ordinary shares to non-U.S. investors to fuel its growth initiatives for 2025.

This funding round, which was anchored by strong demand from new institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals, supports Alta’s growth in the booming combat sports sector and brings additional stakeholders to the Company’s cap table. The capital raise was completed as an offering of ordinary shares only, priced at $1.68 per share, with no warrants, maintaining Alta’s capital structure.

Alta’s Board, CEO and Executive Team have invested alongside existing shareholders and new investors, reflecting a strong vote of confidence in the Company’s trajectory and signaling deep commitment from leadership.

“This funding is a testament to the compelling future we see for Alta and the combat sports industry,” said Nick Langton, CEO of Alta Global Group. “With our expanding portfolio of products, partnerships, and a growing global gym network, we are ready to scale our impact and bring more fans into active participation.”

Alta is positioning itself as the cultural and commercial epicenter for MMA, uniting an entire ecosystem: from fans to athletes, coaches and beyond. MMA is one of the fastest growing sports in the world with a UFC fanbase of over 640 million fans globally. In the US alone, nearly 12 million fans are actively training through an estimated 67,000 gyms that boast about US$18.6 billion in annual revenue.

Recently, Alta announced a landmark partnership with UFC Gym to deliver Alta’s products and programs across over 150 UFC Gyms worldwide.
