Result of Open Offer and Second Tranche Subscription
Northern Petroleum (AIM: NOP) announces the results of the
recent Open Offer undertaken at a price of 3.5 pence per share, on
the basis of one Open Offer Share for every seven Existing Ordinary
Shares.
The Open Offer closed for acceptances at 11:00 a.m. on 9 January
2017 and the Company is pleased to announce that the Open Offer was
oversubscribed and it has received valid acceptances in respect of
the entirety of the Open Offer Shares from Qualifying Shareholders.
Qualifying Shareholders who have validly applied for Open Offer
Shares will receive their full Open Offer Entitlement. Applications
under the Excess Application Facility will be scaled back in
accordance with the terms of the Open Offer.
The Company has therefore raised aggregate gross proceeds of
GBP752,500 through the Open Offer.
Second Tranche Subscription
Certain investors participating in the First Tranche
Subscription agreed to subscribe for further Second Tranche
Subscription Shares once the results of the Open Offer were known
in order to maintain the same percentage equity interest in the
Company after the completion of the Open Offer that they held
before the Open Offer. Accordingly, 12,630,000 and 7,970,000 New
Ordinary Shares have been issued to High Power Petroleum LLC and
Cavendish Asset Management Limited respectively in the Second
Tranche Subscription at a price of 3.5 pence per share (being the
same price as the Issue Price for the First Tranche Subscription
and Open Offer), which has raised a further GBP721,000 (before
expenses).
AIM Admission
Application has been made for the 42,100,000 Open Offer Shares
and Second Tranche Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM
("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective
at 08:00 a.m. on 11 January 2017.
Following the issue of the Open Offer Shares, Northern Petroleum
will have 314,692,368 ordinary shares of 1p each in issue, which
will also represent the total number of voting rights in the
Company. This figure should be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if
they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their
interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules.
Capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the
meaning ascribed to them in the circular that was sent to
shareholders on 30 November 2016 unless the context otherwise
requires.
