Results of Rights Issue
Scotgold Resources Limited (AIM:SGZ) advises that the period for
acceptance for the non-renounceable rights issue, first announced
on 13 November 2017 and as extended by the announcement of 6
December (the "Rights Issue"), closed on 15 December 2017.
In accordance with the terms of the Rights Issue, a total of
5,792,007 allotment rights were taken up, with a further 325,453
shortfall shares being successfully applied for at the Offer Price
of GBP0.25 per New Share.
In accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement as
set out in the Offer Information Statement in respect of the Rights
Issue, Nat le Roux, Chairman of the Company, will take up a total
of 4,508,480 shares pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.
Consequently, the Company has raised gross proceeds of
approximately GBP2.66 million from the Rights Issue, before
expenses of the issue.
Together with his allotment rights and the shares pursuant to
the Underwriting Agreement, Mr le Roux's holding will increase to
15,045,494 shares being 56.64% of issued capital.
Application is being made for the total number of 10,625,940
fully paid new ordinary shares ("New Shares) to be admitted to
trading on AIM ("Admission") and Admission is expected to take
place on or around 29 December 2017.
Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital
will comprise 26,565,349 ordinary shares with voting rights. The
Company does not hold any shares in treasury, therefore the total
number of shares in the Company with voting rights will be
26,565,349. This figure 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.
In addition to the New Shares to be issued, a total of 2,125,149
options to acquire one share each at an exercise price of GBP0.40,
expiring on 31 December 2019 (the "Options") have also been granted
pursuant to the terms of the Right Issue. Pursuant to the Rights
Issue and the Underwriting Agreement, Mr le Roux will hold
1,744,657 options. Application will not be made to have the Options
admitted to trading on AIM.
Shares will be issued in accordance with the indicative
timetable set out below:

as possible in 2018, and the development works will start
immediately upon a positive outcome."
