Warrant Exercise, CLN Repayment and TVR
Pathfinder announces that it has received notice of the exercise of warrants to subscribe for a total of 1,166,666 new ordinary shares of 0.1p each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). These warrants were issued as part of the Company's Convertible Loan Note fundraising announced on 3 April 2020 ("April 2020 CLN") and the exercise price of these warrants was 0.6p per warrant.
As documented in the April 2020 CLN agreement, the funds received by the Company in relation to the exercise of these warrants will be netted off against the principal repayments due to the applicable April 2020 CLN holders on 1 December 2020. As such, the outstanding principal amount has further reduced from £109,000 to £102,000.
The interest due on the April 2020 CLN has also been reduced as a result of the exercise of warrants from £6,752 to £6,568 at expiry on 1 December 2020. No other terms of the April 2020 CLN have been affected.
Application for Admission to Trading on AIM and Total Voting Rights
Application will be made for the 1,166,666 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will occur on or around 14 October 2020.
Upon Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 372,390,497 Ordinary Shares with one voting right each. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights in the Company will be 372,390,497. With effect from Admission, this figure may 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 to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Dennis Edmonds, Chairman of Pathfinder, commented:
"The exercise of these warrants, at what is the current market price, coupled with the positions recently taken by the Chief Executive Officer, Non-Executive Director and a major shareholder, is testament to the confidence that exists within the Pathfinder Board of achieving a resolution to the licence dispute over Mining Concession 4623C in Mozambique. We look forward to updating the market in the near future."
