MetalNRG plc (LSE:MNRG), the natural resource investing and exploration company, announces that it has raised £267,932 before expenses, through a conditional placing (“the Placing”) of 59,540,461 new Ordinary Shares of 0.01p each (the “Placing Shares”) at a price of 0.45p per share (the “Placing Price”) representing a discount of approximately 13.5% to the Company’s closing mid-market share price on 3 December 2019.
As a Standard listed company, the number of Ordinary Shares issued under the Placing was limited to 20 per cent of the Company’s issued ordinary share capital. The Placing, which was oversubscribed, was arranged through Peterhouse Capital Limited (“Peterhouse”) and S I Capital Limited (“SI Capital”).
The Placing & Admission
The Placing Shares will be issued credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares. The Placing Shares represent approximately 16.55 % of the Company’s enlarged issued share capital.
The issue of the Placing Shares is, inter alia, conditional on their admission to listing on the Standard segment of the Official List and trading on the London Stock Exchange’s Main Market for listed securities (“Admission”). Admission of the Placing Shares is expected to occur on or around 11 December 2019.
Total Voting Rights
For the purposes of the Financial Conduct Authority’s Disclosure and Transparency Rules (“DTRs”), following the issue of the New Shares referred to above, the issued ordinary share capital of MetalNRG will consist of 359,742,767 Ordinary Shares with voting rights attached (one vote per share). There are no shares held in treasury. This total voting rights figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, MetalNRG under the DTRs.
