Notice of General Meeting

 

Beowulf Mining plc (AIM: BEM & Spotlight: BEO) ("Beowulf" or the "Company"), the mineral exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that, further to the announcements dated 5 and 12 June 2026, the Company has received binding subscriptions, subject to regulatory and other approvals, for gross proceeds of £4.3 million (approximately US$5.8 million or SEK 54 million) (the "Financing"). The Financing includes the strategic investment by Bacchus Capital Advisers Limited ("Bacchus Capital") and affiliated entities (together "Bacchus Capital & Affiliates") for £3.7 million (approximately US$5.0 million or SEK 47 million) (the "Strategic Investment").

 

The Strategic Investment will result in Bacchus Capital & Affiliates holding 128,128,978 Ordinary Shares representing 58.7% of the share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Financing. The UK Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Panel") has granted a waiver of the mandatory offer provisions set out in Rule 9 of the Takeover Code that would otherwise arise as a result of the issue of the shares to Bacchus Capital & Affiliates pursuant to the proposed Strategic Investment (the "Rule 9 Waiver"). The Rule 9 Waiver remains subject to the approval of the independent shareholders of the Company. Accordingly, the Rule 9 Waiver Resolution is being proposed at the General Meeting ("GM"). Shareholders are also being asked to approve certain other resolutions to enable the Financing to complete including to (i) approve the issue of new Ordinary Shares pursuant to the proposed Financing and to the Noteholder pursuant to the Settlement Agreement; and (ii) the sub-division of the Ordinary Shares to reduce their nominal value (the "Capital Reorganisation").

 

As part of the Financing, the Company has also received direct subscriptions from a number of existing shareholders and the directors and senior management of the Company.

 

The General Meeting of the Company will be held at the offices of Fieldfisher LLP at Riverbank House, 2 Swan Lane, London, EC4R 3TT at 11.15 a.m. (BST) (12.15 noon CEST) on 23 July 2026, immediately following the Company's Annual General Meeting.

Beowulf has received binding subscriptions, subject amongst other things to regulatory and other approvals, for gross proceeds of £4.3 million (approximately US$5.8 million or SEK 54 million) which will result in the issue of 143,640,095 New Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price of 3 pence per share. The Financing includes:

· the Strategic Investment which comprises the issue of 121,909,828 New Ordinary Shares to Bacchus Capital & Affiliates for £3.7 million (approximately US$5.0 million or SEK 47 million), this itself comprises;

In addition, 6,219,150 Ordinary Shares will be issued to Bacchus Capital, Nick Orgill and Max Graham representing a 5% commission on funds raised pursuant to the Strategic Investment.

Approvals

 

The Panel has granted a waiver of the mandatory offer provisions set out in Rule 9 of the Takeover Code that would otherwise arise as a result of the issue of the shares to Bacchus Capital & Affiliates pursuant to the proposed Strategic Investment.

 

The Financing also remains subject to:

· approval of the Rule 9 Waiver by the Company's independent shareholders;
