Update re
Subscription
Armadale announced on 24 April 2024 that it had
conditionally raised £650,000 through the issue by the Company of
new ordinary shares in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at an issue
price of 0.7 pence per new Ordinary Share ("Subscription Shares")
through a Company led direct subscription with new and existing
investors in the UK and Australia (the "Subscription").
As set out in the Company's audited annual
results for the year ended 31 December 2023 published on 28 June
2024, funds pursuant to the Subscription totalling £150,000 were
still to be received from certain investors as at that date. As at
the date of this announcement, this amount remains outstanding with
the Company is continuing to pursue all practicable measures to
collect the outstanding funds from the investors. However, the
Company has decided to finalise the Subscription through the issue
of new Ordinary Shares in respect of gross funds received to date,
totalling £500,000.
Accordingly, application will be made for
71,428,561 Subscription Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM
("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will occur on or
around 19 July 2024.
Following Admission, the Company's issued
ordinary share capital will consist of 658,958,456 ordinary shares
with one voting right each ("Ordinary Shares"). The Company does
not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total
number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights in the Company will be
658,958,456. With effect from Admission, this figure may be used by
shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations
by which they will determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of
the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules.
In addition, and as set out in in the
announcement dated 24 April 2024 attached to each Subscription
Share is a warrant, exercisable within 36 months at a price of 1.2p
per new Ordinary Share (the "Warrants") with each Warrant entitling
each Warrant holder the right to subscribe for a further Ordinary
Share in Armadale.
Following the issue of the Warrants pursuant to
the Subscription the Company will have warrants outstanding over
71,428,561 Ordinary Shares.
In addition, and as previously announced on 24
April 2024, Matt Bull, Executive Director of the Company agreed to
participate in the Subscription. In light of the quantum of the
Subscription now being lower than the Company had originally
anticipated, following Admission, Mr Bull's resultant holding in
the Company will now be as follows:
