The firm said that without the placing it would not have sufficient funds to take advantage of current opportunities, but said it "remains in an outstanding position to secure substantial revenues from a very large market and, to a large extent, the placings represent the cost to the company of securing that position".
Cyan added: "It is therefore essential to our growth strategy that the company approaches this crucial phase in its life in the strongest position possible."
