Clontarf Energy plc (AIM:CLON), the energy company focused on Africa and Bolivia, has been accruing, and therefore not paying in cash, salaries of the current Directors since 2010. The aggregate accrued liability as at 31 December 2021 for the three longest serving directors (Dr Teeling, Mr Horgan and Mr Finn) is GBP1,340,564. The Board remains cognisant of the need to conserve cash resources in the current environment and therefore these three Directors have agreed to continue deferring payment of this amount, in cash, until the end of 2024.
In consideration for this past and continued deferral, these directors have been issued 3.25 warrants over Ordinary Shares per each 1p of accrued salary due until 31 December 2021 ("Warrants"). The Warrants are exercisable at 0.25p, being a 6% premium to the closing mid-market price yesterday, at any time until 11 January 2025 and have been allocated as follows:
Director Accrued salary Warrants exercisable at conversion
(GBP) price of 0.25p per share
David Horgan GBP569,037 184,937,025
John Teeling GBP395,704. 128,603,800
James Finn GBP375,823 122,142,475
Accordingly, in aggregate, 435,683,300 Warrants have been issued to the above Directors. Any exercise of the Warrants is restricted to the extent that, if by exercising, the Warrant holders in aggregate hold greater than 29.9% of the total voting rights of the Company.
