Where is the RNS LSE?26 Jun 2018 09:24
At the General Meeting of the Company on 8 June 2018, shareholders approved the necessary authorities to raise additional funds, should demand from investors arise, to invest in opportunities that may become available to the Company, given its arrangement with RiverFort Global Capital Limited ("RiverFort"), the specialist arranger of funding solutions, primarily to the natural resources sector. Furthermore, it was anticipated that if any such new funds were raised this would be done at or around the prevailing market share price and that an appropriate opportunity would also be made available to existing shareholders to enable them to subscribe for new shares in the Company on similar terms.
Paternoster is therefore very pleased to announce that the Company has now placed (subject to admission to trading on AIM) 4,500,000,000 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each (the "Placing Shares") at a price of 0.1 pence per share with institutional and other investors to raise gross proceeds of £4,500,000 (the"Placing"). The fundraising was oversubscribed and allocations were therefore scaled back.
Going forward, the Company will now be working closely with RiverFort, to invest the funds raised in attractive opportunities in the natural resources sector.
As part of the Placing, up to £180,000 has been allocated to the Teathers App, which is owned by Teathers Financial plc. This app will enable qualified retail investors, in particular, qualifying existing Paternoster shareholders to participate in the Placing on the same terms as other investors directly involved in the Placing. In the event that there is an oversubscription through the Teathers App, preference will be given to applications from existing shareholders in Paternoster.
The Teathers App is a mobile application designed to give qualified private investors access to placements and initial public offerings ("IPOs"), predominantly on the London Stock Exchange AIM market. To become an onboarded user of the Teathers App, visit the App Store or Google Play, download the App for free and complete the account application process. Only onboarded users of the Teathers App may participate in deals offered through it. Shard Capital Partners LLP ("Shard Capital") is the broker supporting the Teathers App and provides the necessary regulatory environment, including compliance oversight and client identification. Shard Capital is regulated by the FCA.
Nicholas Lee, Chairman said:
"I am delighted that our strategy to work with RiverFort has been so well supported by both new and existing investors and we look forward to working closely with RiverFort going forward to deploy the funds raised. This is a very significant development for Paternoster and provides a very clear strategy for the Company for the future."
Application will be made for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will become effective on or around
