Frontier Resources International Plc

("Frontier" or the "Company")

12 July 2016

Issue of Equity

The Board of Frontier (AIM Ticker: FRI) announces that the Company has today allotted and issued 40,143,351 new Ordinary Shares.

This comprises the following:

1. Exercise of Warrants

As at close of business on 7 July 2016, valid exercise notices were received from holders of 40,139,630 warrants which were issued in February 2016 ("Warrants"). The exercise price is 0.03p per ordinary share of 0.01p ("Ordinary Share") and the gross proceeds of exercise amounted in aggregate to £12,041.89, which provides additional working capital for the Company.

Included in the figures above are the following exercises of warrants by Directors which are shown in the table at the bottom of this announcement.

 

The next, and final, exercise date for the outstanding warrants is 7 October 2016. If the proposed share consolidation (in which one New Ordinary Share of 2.5p will replace every 250 Ordinary Shares) ("Share Consolidation") is approved at the General Meeting scheduled for 25 July 2016, holders of remaining Warrants will have to divide the number of their Warrants by 250 to calculate the number of New Ordinary Shares the subject of the Warrants, and the exercise price of such Warrants will be 7.5p per New Ordinary Share.

2. Issue of new Ordinary Shares to purchase the outstanding deferred shares

As also announced on 7 July, the Company intends to tidy up its capital structure by acquiring, as it is entitled, all the outstanding deferred shares (which are effectively worthless) in the Company for consideration of £1. Once these deferred shares are cancelled, the Ordinary Shares will constitute the only class of share capital in the Company.

In order to achieve this, the Company has therefore allotted 3,721 Ordinary Shares at an issue price of 0.03p per Ordinary Share to Barbara Spurrier to create the share premium necessary.

 

The new Ordinary Shares will, on issue, rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue, other than in respect of the following : they will not be eligible for participation in the Open Offer announced on 7 July. Application will be made for the new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission and trading in the new Ordinary Shares on AIM is expected to commence on or around 18 July 2016.
