Chariot (AIM: CHAR), the African focused transitional energy group, today announces the result of its Open Offer pursuant to the Fundraising announced on 18 May 2022.
The Company is pleased to announce that it has received valid acceptances from Qualifying Shareholders in respect of 61,098,316 Open Offer Shares, representing a take-up of over 347 per cent. of the 17,597,272 available Open Offer Shares.
All Qualifying Shareholders who have validly applied for Open Offer Shares will receive their full Basic Entitlement.

We are very grateful to our shareholders for their continued support and we are excited about the coming months, as we anticipate the rest of the year will be a very busy period for Chariot."
