NU-Oil is pleased to announce that Alan Minty, Chairman, Dr. Nigel Burton, Chief Executive Officer and Frank Jackson, Non-executive director, yesterday subscribed for 11 million new ordinary shares of 0.1p each in the Company ("Ordinary Share") at a price of 0.50p per new Ordinary Share (the "Subscription Shares") ("Subscription"). The breakdown of the Subscription Shares is as follows:

Application will be made for the Subscription Shares, which will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM ('Admission'). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings will commence on or around 7th March 2017. The proceeds from the Subscription will add to the working capital of the Company. 

As the Subscription Shares are to be issued to certain directors of the Company, the Subscription is deemed a related party transaction under the Aim Rules for Companies. The independent directors of the Company, being Damian Minty, Tejvinder Minhas and Mike Bowman, having consulted with Strand Hanson Limited, consider the terms of the Subscription to be fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders in the Company are concerned. 

Following the issue of the Subscription Shares, Mr Minty's total holding will comprise of 12,608,111 Ordinary Shares, representing 1.2% of the enlarged issued share capital, which will be 1,048,792,348 Ordinary Shares on Admission ("Enlarged Share Capital").

Mr. Burton's total holding will comprise of 4,000,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.38% of the Enlarged Share Capital.

Mr Jackson's total holding will comprise of 2,000,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.19% of the Enlarged Share Capital.

Each of these directors also hold options over Ordinary Shares as announced on 27 February 2017.
