Highlights:
· Open Offer closed with c.50% take-up from existing shareholders raising gross proceeds of US$4.3 million through the issue of 166.4m ordinary shares at a price of 2p each.
· Successful Placing to raise additional gross proceeds of US$7.1 million through the further issue of 275,641,455 ordinary shares at a price of 2p each.
· Aggregate gross proceeds of US$11.4 million from Open Offer and Placing representing an oversubscription of 60% against announced targeted fundraise amount.
· As a result of the Open Offer, the Placing and the previously announced Conditional Convertible Note, the Company expects to see gross cash inflows of approximately US$24.6 prior to March 2020.
· Sequenced cash inflows through 2019 and 1H 2020 expected to be sufficient to meet the anticipated costs of an initial exploration well in The Bahamas during 2020, consistent with licence obligations, with timing of cash inflows matched to funding requirements.
· Farm-in discussions remain active, and the Company continues to consider other financing alternatives, to strategically expand its available funding resources.
