Cluff Natural Resources Plc
("Cluff" or the "Company")
Result of General Meeting
Admission on 1 July 2019
Cluff Natural Resources Plc, the AIM quoted natural resources investing company with a high impact exploration and appraisal portfolio focused on the Southern and Central North Sea, announces that the resolutions proposed at the General Meeting held earlier today were all duly approved by shareholders on a show of hands. The proxy voting results for the resolutions are set out below.
The Company also announces that, further to the announcement on 6 June 2019, the Company and Stifel have agreed that the date for admission to trading on AIM of the 854,285,707 new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Fundraising shall be amended to 1 July 2019. Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for Admission and it is expected that Admission will take place at 8.00 am on 1 July 2019 (at which time the Fundraising will become unconditional) and that dealings in the new Ordinary Shares on AIM will commence at the same time.
Following Admission, Cluff's enlarged issued ordinary share capital immediately following the issue of the new Ordinary Shares will be 1,405,964,855 Ordinary Shares with one voting right each. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, 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 in interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Defined terms used in this announcement have the same meaning as set out in the Fundraising announcement issued by the Company on 5 June 2019.
