Equity Placing
The Company has raised gross proceeds of £0.5 million in a Placing via the issue of 10,000,000 new Ordinary shares of 0.1 pence per share at a placing price of 5.0 pence per share (the "issue price"). The issue price represents a discount of 37.5% to the last closing bid price of the Company's shares on 19 March 2026.
An application has been made for the Placing shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). The Placing shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares in issue and it is expected that Admission will occur on or around 8.00 a.m. on 25 March 2026.
Following Admission of the Placing shares, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 226,154,466 Ordinary Shares of 0.1 pence each with voting rights in the Company and 2,180,000 Sanctioned Holding Shares of 1.0 pence each totalling 228,334,466 Ordinary Shares. The figure of 228,334,466 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 in the interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Majid Shafiq, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"The Company is pleased to have secured a combined debt and equity financing package to fund working capital requirements to first gas from the Tendrara Phase 1 project. Following an updated project timeline, first gas is now expected at the start of Q3 2026, and the financing ensures the Company remains fully funded through to this key milestone following the revised commissioning schedule. The financing will also support the development of Tayra, our solar joint venture announced today. This funding strengthens the Company's balance sheet and provides the necessary resources to advance both projects as key components of our strategy to deliver gas and renewable energy developments in Morocco."
