We are delighted that Iain McDonald has joined as chairman bringing a wealth of online retail and significant UK capital markets experience," said Carl Jackson, MySale's chief executive.

Range Resources said it has been informed that all of the necessary government and regulatory approvals have been received which will allow the company to secure its funding package from Beijing Sibo Investment Management.

The last hurdle is gaining approval from Range shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting which will be held in August, with a firm date to be declared before the end of July. Shareholders will also vote on a related subscription by the directors of the company.

In early June, Range received the first tranche of funding, totalling GBP5.2 million, resulting in Range issuing 650 million new shares to Beijing Sibo at the subscription price of GBP0.008 per share, giving it an 11.5% stake in Range. Shareholder approval was not needed for that first tranche. Under the second tranche, Sibo will subscribe to further shares at the same price as the first tranche, to total a USD22.1 million investment. However the company said the final amount will be confirmed after the EGM.

Following the second tranche, Range will have secured USD30 million from the deal, with a further USD300,000 set to be received from its directors who have agreed to subscribe to shares at the same subscription price.

The directors investing are Chairman David Chen who is investing USD96,000, Executive Director Yan Liu with USD76,000 and Non Executive Directors Zhiwei Gu and Juan Wang who will invest USD25,000 each.

Shares closed down 0.3% at 0.623p Monday.
