Exercise of Warrants

 

Myanmar Investments International Limited (AIM:MIL), the AIM-quoted Myanmar focused investment company, today announces that it has received notice of the exercise of 3,166 AIM-quoted warrants, which trade under the TIDM:MILW (the "Warrants"). Each Warrant allows the Warrant holder to subscribe for one ordinary share of nil par value of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares").

 

The 3,166 Warrants were exercised during the 15 business day period which commenced on 1 January 2017, following the quarter ended 31 December 2016, at a price of $0.75 per new Ordinary Share.

 

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of 3,166 Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM (the "Admission") and it is expected that Admission will take place and that trading will commence on AIM on or around 31 January 2017.

 

The issued share capital of the Company following the issue of the new Ordinary Shares is 30,556,793 Ordinary Shares of nil par value, with voting rights. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury. In addition, following the reduction of the 3,166 Warrants pursuant to the exercise, the Company will have 16,040,882 Warrants in issue.

 

Following Admission, the above figure of 30,556,793 Ordinary Shares 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 change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Notes to Editors:

Myanmar Investments International Limited ("MIL") is the first Myanmar-focused investment company to be admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. It was established in 2013 to act as a conduit for overseas investors to invest in businesses led by dynamic and visionary Myanmar entrepreneurs and foreign companies investing in the country. MIL is led by co-founders Aung Htun and Mike Dean, private equity professionals and entrepreneurs with a strong regional track record of investment and profitable exits in SE Asia.  

MIL aims to identify investments with strong growth which if necessary can be "de-risked" through the introduction of experienced senior line-management, mentors and/or strategic partners sourced by its Founders. Key sectors are those experiencing acute supply vs. demand imbalances, such as consumer and other capacity-constrained sectors.

With its strong proprietary investment pipeline of deals, MIL provides investors with a highly disciplined and conservative investment process into one of the most promising growth opportunities of this era.

To date, MIL has invested in Apollo Towers, one of Myanmar's top telecom towers companies with 1,800 towers, and MFIL, a top 10 microfinance company.

Myanmar, a country of approximately 51.4 million people and roughly the size of France, has been isolated for much of the last 50 years. Once it was one of the more prosperous countries in Southeast Asia as it has an abundance of natural resources (oil, natural gas, arable land, tourist attractions and a long coastline), it is now one of the least developed countries in the world.

Following the general elections in Myanmar in November 2015 the National League for Democracy, led by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, won an overwhelming majority of the seats and the new administration took power on 1 April 2016.

In October 2016 the United States government lifted all remaining sanctions against Myanmar and re-admitted the country into its preferred tariff system.
