("Altona" or "the Company")
Placing to Raise GBP735,000
The Board of Altona (AIM: ANR) is pleased to announce that it has raised GBP
735,000 before expenses through a placing of 147,000,000 new ordinary shares
("Placing Shares") at an issue price of 0.5p per share (the "Placing").
The net proceeds of the Placing will primarily be used for further exploration
that the Company expects to be identified by the recently commissioned report
by Runge Pincock Minarco Global.
Details of the Placing
The Placing Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares. An
application has been made for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on
AIM which is expected to occur on 28 November 2017 ("Admission").
Director's participation in the Placing
Nick Lyth and Philip Sutherland, who are both directors of the Company, are
participating in the Placing subscribing for 4,000,000 and 2,000,000 ordinary
shares respectively.
Participation by Substantial Shareholders
Eaton Equities Limited ("Eaton") and Leon Hogan have each subscribed for
5,000,000 ordinary shares each in the Placing. Following the issue of the
Placing Shares they will hold 13.8 per cent. each of the issued share capital.
As both Eaton and Leon Hogan are substantial shareholders in the Company their
participation in the Placing is deemed a related party transaction under the
AIM Rules. The Directors of the Company consider, having consulted with the
Company's nominated adviser, Northland Capital Partners Limited, that the
participation in the Placing of Eaton and Leon Hogan is fair and reasonable
insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
Qinfu Zhang, Executive Chairman of Altona, commented, "We are pleased to have
raised this level of new funding with this oversubscribed placing. This will
strengthen our balance sheet and provide the necessary capital to ensure that
we execute the early stages of our strategy and move the Company towards being
operational. In addition to being able to execute further exploratory work,
the placing provides sufficient working capital for Altona for 12 months."
Total Voting Rights
Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise
1,558,956,853 ordinary shares with voting rights. The Company has no shares
held in Treasury. This figure of 1,558,956,853 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 a
change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
