SUNRISE RESOURCES PLC
("Sunrise" or "the Company")
ISSUE OF WARRANTS
Sunrise Resources plc wishes to advise that it has issued a total of 25 million warrants over new Ordinary Shares (the "New Warrants") representing 0.64% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital to the Executive Chairman of the Company, Patrick Cheetham, in connection with a remuneration incentive scheme proposed by the Remuneration Committee and agreed by the Board.
The New Warrants will have an exercise price of 0.15 pence, a 67% premium to yesterday's closing market mid-price.
The New Warrants will have a five-year term but will only vest (i.e. become exercisable) if during 2023:
· Tolsa USA Inc ("Tolsa") exercises its option to acquire the Company's Pioche Project (see RNS of 21 December 2022), or
· The Company enters into a substantive agreement (in the opinion of the Remuneration Committee) that could result in the development of the CS Project.
If the New Warrants do not vest in 2023 the warrants will expire.
Commenting today, Mr Roger Murphy, Chairman of the Remuneration Committee, said:
" We think these are realistic goals and achievable within the vesting period. The development of the CS Project remains our key objective, and whilst the exercise of the option held by Tolsa over our Pioche Project is a matter for their decision, we think it is an appropriate Key Performance Indicator. The Pioche Project was generated and acquired under Mr Cheetham's initiatives at very low cost. As Tolsa has quickly demonstrated, it has the potential to generate both a substantial cash return and an ongoing royalty stream if the option is exercised by the end of 2023 deadline."
The New Warrants will also vest in the event that there is a change in control of the Company.
