Issue of Equity
Cadogan Petroleum plc (“Cadogan” or the “Company”) announces that it has issued 8,399,165 Ordinary shares of £0.03 each, (“New Ordinary Shares”) in the capital of the Company for cash on the basis of £0.03 per share.
2,270,549 ordinary shares are being issued to the previous CEO, Mr Guido Michelotti, to be satisfied in full using the entire amount of the 2018 and 2019 bonuses due (but which had not yet been paid), totalling €75,900.
628,616 ordinary shares are being issued to Mr Andriy Bilyy (General Director of Cadogan Ukraine), to be satisfied in full using the entire amount of the 2019 bonus due (but which had not yet been paid), totalling $23,040.
5,500,000 ordinary shares are being issued to the CEO, Mr Fady Khallouf, to be satisfied in full using the entire amount of the welcome bonus due.
The Company confirms that each of Mr Guido Michelotti, Mr Andriy Bilyy and Mr Fady Khallouf have agreed to fund the income tax due on the bonuses from their own resources. Therefore there is no immediate need for any of the above shares to be sold to fund the tax liability arising on the bonuses. Also, as a consequence, there will be no cash outflow for the Company arising from the award of the bonuses, with the exception of any related social security contributions that fall due following the payment of the bonuses. In addition, Mr Fady Khallouf has undertaken not to sell the shares for a period of two years from the date of subscription.
Full details of the bonus payments for Mr Fady Khallouf and Mr Guido Michelotti are set out within the ‘Annual Report on Remuneration’ in the Company’s 2019 Annual Financial Report.
Application has been made for the new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange (the "Admission"), and dealings in the new Ordinary Shares are expected to commence on or around 2nd June 2020.
Following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue is 244,128,487. There are 66 Ordinary Shares held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 244,128,421. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company 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 under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
