Use of Placing proceeds
The gross proceeds of the Placing, which are expected to amount to approximately £5.3 million from the First Placing and at least £4.0 million from the Second Placing, as well as up to £0.7 million from the proposed Director Subscription (in aggregate, approximately £9.3 million net of expenses), will provide the Company with additional capital to finance:
(i) the cash consideration of US$7.3 million (c. £5.4 million) under the Proposed Acquisition of a diverse pool of accretive, producing assets in the core Rocky Mountain basins, U.S. with the potential to generate additional drilling activity funded by Zephyr's partner, a U.S.-based capital provider focused on the upstream energy sector; and
(ii) an estimated £3.9 million of incremental near-term CAPEX and working capital associated with the Paradox project to deliver a pathway to first gas, including well costs, well workovers, P&A costs, the commissioning of a new CPR, additional acreage leasing and near-term infrastructure, as well as gas processing CAPEX.
Any additional net proceeds from the Placing, including the Director Subscription (as defined below), will be used to supplement the Company's working capital, to fund additional Paradox project CAPEX and/or to fund further acquisitions in connection with the Company's non-operated asset portfolio.
