MADAGASCAR OIL LIMITED
("Madagascar Oil" or the "Company")
Update to Proposed Financing Transaction
Madagascar Oil (AIM: MOIL) is pleased to announce that, further to the announcement made on 18 December 2012 in respect of the proposed financing package to raise between US$45 million and US$60 million (gross), it is now intended that, due to anticipated increased demand from existing shareholders in the Company,Mirabaud Securities LLP is to increase the amount it is seeking to raise from US$15 million (gross) to US$20 million (gross). This will be achieved, assuming the full US$20 million is issued, through an increase in the placing from 46,875,000 to 62,500,000 Convertible Preference Shares, on the same terms as previously announced.
Accordingly, revised details of the effect of conversion of the Convertible Preference Shares on existing holders of the Common Shares and the resultant holdings of Benchmark and Persistency are set out in the table below:
Maximum dilution basis** (Including US$20m (gross) Mirabaud fundraise) | On issue, assuming immediate conversion* | 3 years* | 10 years* |
New dilutive shares | 210,000,000 | 272,734,375 | 417,109,375 |
Resultant total shares in issue | 466,035,137 | 528,769,512 | 673,144,512 |
Dilution | 45.06% | 51.58% | 61.96% |
Resultant percentage shareholding: Benchmark | 34.66% | 36.40% | 39.32% |
Persistency | 16.79% | 17.72% | 19.28% |
\* This assumes that all interest is paid in Common Shares and includes an arrangement fee of 4 per cent. payable, pro rata, to the Benchmark Parties and Persistency being settled via an issue of Common Shares at the Subscription Price and a proportion of commission fees being paid to Mirabaud in Common Shares. For illustrative purposes only, it has been assumed that all Convertible Preference Shares accrue interest for the full term with no time apportionment to reflect fixed interest payment dates, being every 6 months from the issue of the Tranche 1 Convertible Preference Shares and the actual date of the issue of the Tranche 2 Convertible Preference Shares . |
** This represents the potential dilution to all existing shareholders assuming no participation by them in the placing. |
All defined terms in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the announcement dated 18 December 2012.
