Scott Kaintz, Director, comments: "After several months of disruptions, this placing, alongside significant modifications to our loan facility and associated lock-ups, put the Company on an even keel and allow it move forward in its process of conducting a strategic review of its operations. We will commence a detailed analysis of our assets and overarching strategy, and we expect to announce additional board members during this period. We appreciate the support of many long-standing Regency investors and stakeholders as we continue to move the business onward."

Equity Placing

Regency has raised £240,000 by way of a placing of 399,999,998 new ordinary shares of 0.01 pence each ("Shares") in the Company at a price of £0.0006 per Share with 1 for 1 warrants exercisable at a price of £0.001 per Share for twenty-four months ("April 2021 Warrants")(together the "Placing").

Each warrant will include an accelerated exercise condition ("Accelerator") such that in the event the Company's volume weighted average share price exceeds £0.005 for a period of ten consecutive trading days, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to give holders of the warrants 14 calendar days' notice that the warrants must be exercised within a further 14 calendar days, following which they will otherwise expire. 

As part of the Placing, £20,000 worth of Shares have been issued to Red Rock Resources PLC in partial extinguishment of outstanding obligations. These 33,333,333 Shares have been further agreed to be locked up for a period of six months.
