Result of Placing and
Subscription
Notice of General Meeting and posting of
Circular
CAP-XX Limited (AIM: CPX), a world leader in
the design and manufacture of supercapacitors and energy management
systems, is pleased to announce that,
further to the announcement made on 21 March
2024 (the "Launch
Announcement"), the Company has conditionally raised £2.0
million (before expenses) pursuant to the Placing of 2,000,000,000
new Ordinary Shares ("Placing
Shares") at the Issue Price of 0.1 pence per Ordinary
Share. Allenby Capital Limited acted as Sole
Bookrunner in connection with the Placing, which was conducted by
way of an accelerated book build process.
In addition, Patrick Elliott, Lars Stegmann and
Steen Feldskov have subscribed for a total of 35,000,000 new
Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price pursuant to the Subscription,
conditionally raising in aggregate £35,000.
The FCA notifications, made in accordance with
the requirements of the UK Market Abuse Regulation, are appended
further below.
The Retail Offer through the REX platform is
expected to remain open until 3.00 p.m. today. Thereafter, a
further announcement will be made in due course in relation to the
result of the Retail Offer.
Notice of
General Meeting and posting of Circular
The Circular, which contains the Notice of
General Meeting in respect of the Fundraise, is expected to be
posted to Shareholders on 25 March 2024 and will also be available
on the Company's website www.cap-xx.com.
The General Meeting will be held at
the offices of CAP-XX Limited at Unit 1/13A Stanton
Road, Seven Hills, Australia at 5.00 p.m.
AEST on 23 April 2024.
Admission
103,854,880 Placing
Shares (the "First Placing
Shares") will be issued under the Company's existing
authorities. Application will be made for
the First Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is
expected that First Admission, and commencement of dealings, will
take place at 8.00 a.m. on 28 March 2024. The allotment and issue
of the First Placing Shares will not be conditional upon the
passing of the Resolution or the allotment and issue of the Second
Placing Shares.
Application will be made for
1,896,145,120 Placing Shares (the "Second Placing Shares") and 35,000,000
Subscription Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Subject to,
inter alia, the passing of
the Resolution, it is expected that Second Admission, and
commencement of dealings, will take place at 8.00 a.m. on 25 April
2024. The Second Placing is conditional
upon, among other things, the passing of the Resolution, Second
Admission becoming effective and the Placing Agreement not being
terminated in accordance with its terms.
The Placing Shares and the
Subscription Shares, when issued, will be credited as fully paid
and will rank pari passu
in all respects with the Company's existing
Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive dividends and other
distributions declared on or after the date of issue.
Total Voting Rights
Following First Admission, the
Company's issued and fully paid share capital will consist
of 824,043,207 Ordinary
Shares, all of which carry one voting right per share. The Company
does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total
number of ordinary shares and voting rights in the Company will
be 824,043,207. This figure
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.
A further announcement will be made
in relation to total voting rights in the Company's share capital
following the issue of the Second Placing Shares, the Subscription
Shares and the Retail Offer Shares.
