Results of Extraordinary General Meeting
Central Asia Metals PLC (AIM: CAML) announces that all resolutions proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting held earlier today were duly passed.
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the 49,150,000 Company Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission of the Company Placing Shares, and settlement of the 10,605,875 Selling Shareholder Placing Shares, is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on 12 October 2017.
Following Admission the Company's total issued share capital will comprise 161,219,738 ordinary shares. The Company has 511,647 ordinary shares held in treasury. Accordingly the total number of voting rights in the Company's shares is 160,708,091 and therefore this figure may be used by the Company's 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 Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to completion of the Acquisition by that time, the Company continues to expect completion of the Acquisition to occur in Q4 2017.
Subject to the completion of the Acquisition, application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Enlarged Share Capital to be admitted to trading on AIM, which will include the 15,278,528 Consideration Shares to be issued upon Readmission.
