SeaBird Exploration Plc: Conversion of preference shares to ordinary shares
April 30 2015 - 7:19AM
30 April 2015, Limassol, Cyprus
Reference is made to previous press releases
regarding the restructuring (the "Restructuring") of SeaBird
Exploration PLC (the "Company"), i.a. the press release dated 3
March 2015 where the Company announced the issue of 6,015,693
preference shares (the "Preference Shares") at a par value of $0.1.
Each Preference Share is automatically convertible into 500 common
shares following a reduction of the Company's authorized and issued
share capital, through the reduction of the nominal value of its
shares from US$0.1 to US$0.0001 (the "Reduction") and issue by the
Registrar of Companies in Cyprus of the relevant certificate
confirming the Reduction.
SeaBird hereby announces that the Reduction has
today been completed, and each of the Preference Shares has
therefore been converted to 500 ordinary shares. Hence, the
Company's share capital consists of 3,065,427,746 ordinary shares
of a nominal value of US$0.0001 each (and no Preference Shares). In
addition, the Company has issued 1,769,375 warrants (also due for a
500:1 conversion), convertible into 884,687,500 ordinary shares at
a fixed subscription price of NOK 0.10 per ordinary share. The NOTC
trading of the Preference Shares will be cancelled as a result of
the conversion.
The new ordinary shares that have been issued upon
conversion of the Preference Shares remain on the Company's
separate ISIN pending completion of the conversion in VPS. The new
ordinary shares are therefore not yet listed on the Oslo Stock
Exchange. They are expected to be listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange
after a settlement period in the VPS, currently expected to be on
or around 7 May 2015. The Company will give an announcement on the
effective day of the listing of the new ordinary shares.
