Director/PDMR Shareholding
Iofina, specialists in the exploration and production of iodine and manufacturers of high quality specialty chemical products, is pleased to announce that at the Company's Annual General Meeting held earlier today, all resolutions put to shareholders were duly passed.
In addition, the Company announces the result of its Open Offer to raise up to £2.04 million which was announced on 20 May 2019. The Company received valid acceptances from qualifying shareholders in respect of 9,464,655 Open Offer Shares representing 74.19 per cent. of the total number of Open Offer Shares available. All acceptances will therefore be satisfied in full. As a result, a total of 9,464,655 Open Offer Shares will be issued to those qualifying shareholders that participated in the Open Offer, resulting in gross proceeds thereunder of approximately £1.5 million.
Accordingly, it is expected that admission of the 33,804,375 Placing Shares, 570,625 Subscription Shares, the 9,464,655 Open Offer Shares and 20,449,355 Debt for Equity Shares will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 14 June 2019 ("Admission").
On Admission, the Company will have 191,858,408 Ordinary Shares in issue and there are no shares held in treasury. Therefore, the Company's total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights is 191,858,408.
The figure of 191,858,408 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 to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
