Sale of Castleton Shares

Following the Sale, MXC holds 19,361,211 Castleton Shares, representing 24.5% of its issued share capital.

Valuing MXC's pre-Sale holding of 20,021,211 Castleton Shares at the Sale Price and taking into account the proceeds of £1.66 million from the recent option exercise as announced on 21 February 2018, this would represent a 3.0x return for MXC on its cost of investment in Castleton.
