RE: Lots of founders shares to be sold into the market at this price10 Apr 2024 11:50
Page 22 of the Admission documents sets out the history and background to how many 'cheaper' shares have been issued:
1) On incorporation, the Company issued 5,500,000 new Ordinary Shares at a price of 1 pence per Ordinary
Share.
2) Subsequent to this, on 14 December 2023, Helix completed a pre-IPO fundraising, raising £861,000 through
the issue of 17,220,000 new Ordinary Shares, at a price of 5 pence per Ordinary Share.
3) On 11 March 2024, Helix entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with the Sellers (being Bo Sears
and Greenway Royalty Partners, Ltd.), for the acquisition of the entire membership interests in Hereford
Resources. On completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (which shall be on Admission) the Sellers
will each be issued 10,000,000 New Shares in the Company. (Doesn't say at what price!)
In terms of how many shares are subject to a lock in:
The Locked-in Shareholders (in accordance with Rule 7 of the AIM Rules for Companies) who, on Admission,
will hold in aggregate 14,600,000 Ordinary Shares (representing approximately 11.9 per cent. of the Enlarged
Share Capital) have undertaken not to (and to use their best endeavours to procure that their connected
persons shall not), save in limited circumstances permitted by the AIM Rules for Companies, dispose of any
of their interests in Ordinary Shares (including any Ordinary Shares that they may acquire through the exercise
of Options or otherwise) at any time prior to the first anniversary of Admission.
In addition, in order to ensure an orderly market in the Ordinary Shares, the Locked-In Shareholders have
further undertaken that they shall not (and that they will use their best endeavours to procure that their
connected persons shall not) for a further period of 12 months (subject to certain limited exceptions) deal
or otherwise dispose of any such interests: (a) without the prior written consent of Cairn and the Joint
Brokers; and (b) only through the Joint Brokers, in such manner as the Joint Brokers and Cairn may
reasonably require so as to ensure an orderly market in the Ordinary Shares; or if the Joint Brokers are
unable to make the disposal within five Business Days of having received a written request to do so by the
Locked-In Shareholder such other reputable broking service as the Locked-In Shareholders shall, from time
to time, determine.
