Pursuant to this announcement, application has been made for 62,472,834 new Ordinary Shares of the Company to be admitted to trading on AIM. This is expected to occur on 19 June 2015 (“Admission”). Following Admission, ECR’s issued ordinary share capital will consist of 3,867,029,332 Ordinary Shares. The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Ordinary Shares of the Company currently traded on AIM.
The total of 3,867,029,332 Ordinary Shares may therefore 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 in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA’s Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
