Issue of Warrants to Directors
Tower Resources plc (the "Company" or "Tower" (TRP.L, TRP LN)),
the AIM listed oil and gas company with its focus on Africa,
announces the following issue of warrants to Directors in lieu of
fees.
Warrants are being issued in lieu of GBP15,000 (in aggregate) of
Directors fees to Peter Taylor and Graeme Thomson (non-executive
directors), and Jeremy Asher (as Chairman) in partial settlement of
fees due for the period from 1 Jan 2018 to 31 March 2018, to
conserve the Company's working capital.
The warrants are exercisable at a price of 1.0 pence, which is a
premium of 29% to the Company's closing share price on 29(th)
December 2017, and are exercisable for a period of 5 years from the
date of issue. The Warrants being issued are detailed below:
Director Number Total number Shareholding % of issued

Peter Taylor 635,593 7,733,398 23,185,124 5.7%

Jeremy Asher 1,271,186 11,908,814 41,950,309 10.3%
---------------- -------------- ------------- --------------- ---------------
As previously announced the Directors will consider issuing
further warrants in lieu of fees for each calendar quarter based on
the closing price of the stock and the warrant valuation on the
last day of the previous quarter, and will make an election and
announce the issue of warrants (if so elected) at the earliest
opportunity in each calendar quarter. This election will be made by
the Board with each Director taking into consideration the working
capital position of the Company.
Director Dealings and Related Party Transaction
Peter Taylor, Graeme Thomson and Jeremy Asher are considered to
be "related parties" as defined under the AIM Rules and
accordingly, the issue of Warrants to them constitutes a related
party transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules.
David M Thomas, being the sole Director independent of the
transaction, considers, having consulted with SP Angel Corporate
Finance LLP, the Company's nominated adviser, that the terms of the
issue of warrants are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's
shareholders are concerned.
Warrants and Options in issue and Total Voting Rights
Following the above issue of warrants, the total number of
warrants in issue are 34,492,981 equating to 8.4% of the company's
issued share capital on a fully diluted basis. The issued share
capital of the Company consists of 374,270,520 Shares. No Shares
were held in treasury at the date of this announcement. The total
current voting rights in the Company are therefore 374,270,520.
The above total current voting rights number is the figure which
may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation
by which they will determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company.
