Ascent Resources plc
("Ascent" or the "Company")
Issue of Equity
Ascent Resources plc, the AIM quoted European oil and gas
exploration and production company, has received a notice of
exercise ("the Notice") to convert 211,200 convertible loan notes
of GBP1 each which were issued in May 2013 as part of an open offer
to all shareholders (the "Loan Notes") and the terms of which were
amended in February 2015. The Loan Notes, including rolled up
interest, are convertible into new ordinary shares of 0.2 pence
each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a rate of
100 new Ordinary Shares per GBP1 loan note. Consequently, a total
of 23,786,327 new Ordinary Shares ("the Conversion Shares") will be
issued pursuant to the Notice, following which GBP10,596,346
nominal convertible loan notes (including rolled-up interest)
remain outstanding.
Admission and Settlement
Application has been made for the admission to trading on AIM of
the Conversion Shares ("Admission"). Admission is expected to occur
on 10 May 2016. Following Admission, Ascent will have 325,646,511
Ordinary Shares in issue. There are no shares held in treasury. The
total voting rights in the Company is therefore 325,646,511 and
Shareholders may use this figure as the denominator by which they
are required to notify their interest in, or change to their
interest in, the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency
Rules.
