CAP-XX Limited
("CAP-XX" or the "Company")
Subscription to raise £2.43 million
CAP-XX, a world leader in supercapacitors, is pleased to announce that the Company has raised gross proceeds of £2.43 million, by way of a subscription (the "Subscription") of a total of 27,000,000 new ordinary shares (the "Subscription Shares") at a price of 9 pence per share (the "Subscription Price"). The Subscription Shares are to be issued within the Company's existing share allotment authorities, in line with CAP-XX's dilution policy which was approved by shareholders on 29 November 2016.
The proceeds of the Subscription will be used to accelerate a number of projects.
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Subscription Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the Subscription Shares will commence at 8:00 am on 30 January 2017.
The Subscription Shares will be issued credited as fully paid and will rank in full for all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of the Company`s ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") after the date of Admission and will otherwise rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.
The enlarged issued share capital of the Company following the issue of the Subscription Shares will be 297,704,833 Ordinary Shares with voting rights. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury.
Following Admission, the above figure of 297,704,833 Ordinary Shares 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 change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Commenting on the Subscription, Anthony Kongats, Chief Executive of CAP-XX said, "We are delighted with the support provided to the company at this exciting time for the development of our supercapacitor business, which will enable us to accelerate a number of development opportunities."
