Equity Fundraising of approximately £500,000
14 April 2020
Egdon Resources plc (AIM: EDR, “Egdon”) is pleased to announce that it has raised approximately £500,000 via a subscription for new shares, to be completed in two tranches. The Company has raised approximately £415,164 (the “Subscription“) through the issue of 20,758,220 new ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company (the “Subscription Shares“) at a price of 2p per Ordinary Share (“Issue Price“). The Subscription includes a £141,114 subscription by Petrichor Holdings Coöperatief U.A. (“Petrichor”).
In addition, because the Company is currently in a close period due to its intended publication of Interim Results for the six months ended 31 January 2020 on 21 April 2020, Mark Abbott (Managing Director), Walter Roberts (Non-Executive Director and Company Secretary) and Tim Davies (Non-Executive Director) of Egdon have undertaken to subscribe to raise £56,000 following publication of those Interim Results as set out further below (the “Directors’ Subscription”). In connection with the Director’s Subscription, Petrichor has undertaken to subscribe for such further number of shares, at the Issue Price, that would maintain their holding in the Company at 33.99%. If the Directors Subscription is undertaken at the Issue Price (2p per Ordinary Share) this will result in gross proceeds of £500,000 for the two tranches.
