PDMR Dealings
United Oil & Gas Plc is pleased to announce that at the General Meeting held earlier today, both Resolutions were passed unanimously.
Accordingly the 57,411,766 New Ordinary Shares conditionally placed by the Company's joint brokers Optiva and SP Angel at a price per share of 4.25 pence, together with the 1,411,764 New Ordinary Shares conditionally subscribed for on the same terms by Graham Martin, being the Non-Executive Chairman and Director, have been issued and allotted.
Application has been made for the total of 58,823,530 New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange plc ("Admission"). It is anticipated that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 08.00 am on 11 May 2018. The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares.
Following Admission, Graham Martin will hold 1,411,764 Ordinary Shares, representing a percentage holding of 0.49 of the Enlarged Share Capital.
Total Voting Rights
At Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 291,068,531 Ordinary Shares of £0.01 each with voting rights. No Ordinary Shares are held in treasury. Therefore the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company with voting rights is 291,068,531.
The above figure of 291,068,531 may be used by Shareholders 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 Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
