Admission to Trading on the Main Market
Admission to premium Listing Segment marks major corporate milestone
Atalaya Mining Plc (AIM: ATYM) is pleased to announce that the Company's ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") are expected to be admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List maintained by the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and to trading on London Stock Exchange plc's main market for listed securities (together, "Admission") at 8:00am today and cancelled from trading on AIM.
The Company is not offering any new Ordinary Shares nor any other securities in connection with the proposed Admission. Following Admission, the Ordinary Shares will continue to be registered with their existing ISIN of CY0106002112 and the Company's ticker symbol will continue to be ATYM.
At Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue will be 139,899,209. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury, and therefore at Admission the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 139,899,209. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Atalaya shareholders should consult their own professional advisors regarding the consequences of Admission on their personal tax position.
Alberto Lavandeira, CEO, commented:
"Today marks a significant milestone for Atalaya as we transition to the Premium Listing Segment of the Official List and commence trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.
The move showcases our commitment to building upon the significant growth we have achieved to date and reflects our confidence in our future prospects, our expanding investor base and our ambition to become a multi-asset copper producer with a portfolio of sustainable, scalable and low-risk operations.
I would like to take this opportunity to also thank our dedicated team and loyal shareholders for their continued support on this exciting journey."
