("URA" or the "Company")
Result of Accelerated Bookbuild
Strong support from directors
Net proceeds to facilitate be used restart the Gravellotte
Emerald Mine
URA is pleased to announce that, further to following
yesterday's announcement of the launch of the placing via the
bookbuild, it has successfully raised GBP1,000,000 (before
expenses) through the placing and subscription (together the
"Fundraise"), issuing in aggregate 80,000,000 new ordinary shares
in the capital of the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") at an issue
price of 1.25p per New Ordinary Share.
Closing of the Fundraise is conditional upon the publication of
a new secondary prospectus and upon shareholder approval. A
prospectus in connection with the Fundraise has been lodged with
the FCA and will be published in due course. The Fundraise is also
subject to a shareholder approval at a general meeting (further
details of which are set out below).
The proceeds of the Fundraise will be used to restart the
Gravellotte Emerald Mine and includes the purchase and installation
of the remaining capital items, primarily relating to the
proceesing plant and commissioning of the processing plant as well
as general working capital. The restart of mining and processing
operations and first emerald production is expected to occur in Q1
2024.
The issue price of 1.25p represents a discount of 24% to the mid
market closing price of the ordinary shares on the London Stock
Exchange plc at 4pm on 20 November 2023.
The following Directors participated in the Subscription:
Director Subscription Amount Number of New Ordinary Shares
Edward Nealon GBP58,333.32 4,666,666
Peter Redmond GBP45,000 3,600,000
Bernard Olivier GBP21,666.64 1,833,331
Sam Mulligan GBP12,500 1,000,000
As a further component of the Fundraise, the Company will issue
a total of 3,184,000 warrants to the bookrunners each entitling the
holder to subcribe for one new ordinary share at a price of 1.25
pence for a period of three years.
Ed Nealon, Chairman of URA Holdings Plc commented:
"We would like to welcome all our new investors including the
new institutional investors as well as thank everybody for their
support in completing this placement despite the unusually
challenging market environment. Following the completion of the
placement we can now focus on completing the mine and processing
plant refurbishment and commissioning and restarting emerald mining
and processing at Gravelotte."
Additional information
Posting of Circular
The issue of the New Ordinary Shares, as well as the authority
to issue the shares into which the Warrants may covert, are
conditional, inter alia, on the passing by the Company's
shareholders of certain resolutions at a General Meeting. A
circular containing a notice of general meeting (the "Circular")
will be posted to shareholders later this week. A further
announcement containing the details of the general meeting will be
made upon publication of the Circular.
Applications for Admission
Applications will be made for the New Ordinary Shares to be
admitted to the standard segment of the official list and to
trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the London
Stock Exchange plc. It is expected that admission will become
effective on or about 12 December 2023 (subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions described above). Any changes to the anticapted
timeframe will be notified by RNS.
Rights of the New Orinary Shares
The New Ordinary Shares will, on admission, rank pari passu in
all respects with the ordinary shares currently in issue and will
rank in full for all dividends and other distributions hereafter
declared, paid or made on the ordinary share capital of the
Company.
Total Voting Rights
Following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares, which is
expected to occur on or about 12 December 2023, the Company will
have 252,345,590 ordinary shares in issue, each share carrying the
right to one vote.
This figure of 252,345,590 ordinary shares may then 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 a change in their interest in, the share capital of
the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules.
