("Panther Metals" or "Company")
(Incorporated and registered in Isle of Man with company number 009753V)
Funding update - issue of £200,000 in face value of 17% unsecured convertible notes with warrants attached
The board of directors ("Board" or "Directors") of Panther Metals plc (LSE: PALM) is pleased to announce that it has raised in aggregate £200,000 (before expenses) by the issue of 17% unsecured convertible loan notes ("Convertible Loan Notes") with 12 month' maturity and possible early conversion and warrants attached on a one-for-one basis with an exercise price of 5.5 pence each ("Warrants") (together, the "Subscription").
The following Directors participated in the Subscription:
Director Subscription Amount
Darren Hazelwood £56,000
Nicolas O'Reilly £50,000
Simon Rothschild £4,000
Funding highlights:
• The conversion price of each Convertible Loan Note is 4.1 pence per ordinary share.
• The Convertible Loan Notes are convertible at the option of the Company into such number of ordinary shares in the capital of the Company as is the product of dividing the amount of an individual holder's Convertible Loan Notes and accrued interest by 4.1 pence.
• The Warrants are attached to the Convertible Loan Notes on a one-for-one basis at an exercise price of 5.5 pence each.
• The Convertible Loan Notes will be unlisted and no offer or invitation is being made to shareholders more generally to purchase, acquire or subscribe for any of the Convertible Loan Notes or Warrants.
The proceeds of the Subscription will be used to fund the Company's current working capital and capital expenditure requirements. The Board is satisfied that the amount raised is sufficient for the Company's current requirements.
Darren Hazelwood, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"This funding serves as the preface to an exciting autumn ahead, with a series of forthcoming developments poised to greatly advance the company's strategic focus on developing Canada's next VMS camp while continuing to retain tight control of our capital structure.
The discovery of high-grade mineralisation at our VMS target of Wishbone on Obonga combined with confirmation the anomalous area of Survey also being a VMS has propelled this entire greenstone belt onto many radars."
The Board accepts responsibility for this announcement.
