ISSUE OF EQUITY
Directors dealings
TanzaniteOne Ltd ('TanzaniteOne' or 'the Company') (LSE AIM: TNZ.L) today announces that it has issued 2,032,622 common shares of US$0.0003 each ('Shares') to members of its board of directors and senior management in satisfaction of accrued directors fees which have been unpaid since October 2009.
Each of the Company's directors and a member of the Company's senior management team has converted all or a portion of their outstanding Directors fees into new Shares at a price of 12p per Share, being equal to the volume weighted average price ('VWAP') of the Company's Shares over the period of the outstanding fees. In total, unpaid fees totalling US$382,946 have been converted into Shares. It is the Company's current intention following the return to profitability and cash generation, as evidenced by the Company's interim results published today, that fees will be paid in cash going forward.
Following the issue of Shares described above, the beneficial shareholdings of each director of TanzaniteOne will be as follows:
