GBP380,000 Fundraising
The Board of Botswana Diamonds (AIM: BOD) is pleased to announce
that it has today undertaken a fundraising consisting of a placing
and subscription with existing and new investors to raise
GBP380,000 via the issue of 76,000,000 new ordinary shares of
GBP0.0025 each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") (the "Placing
Shares"), at a placing price of 0.5p per Placing Share (the
"Placing Price"). Each Placing Share has one warrant attached with
the right to subscribe for one new Ordinary Share at 0.5p per new
Ordinary Share for a period of two years from 27 November 2023 (the
"Placing Warrants").
The Placing Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's
existing Ordinary Shares. Application will be made for the Placing
Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is expected that
such admission will become effective on or around 11(th) December
2023 ("Admission").
Use of Net Proceeds
The Company's current operational focus is on explorational
activities at its assets in Botswana and South Africa. Net proceeds
from the Placing will be applied towards a continuation of these
activities, and to provide additional working capital for the
Company.
Total Voting Rights
In conformity with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA"), the Company
announces the following:
Following the issue of the Placing Shares, there will be a total
of 1,119,877,899 Ordinary Shares in issue with each Ordinary Share
carrying the right to one vote. The Company does not hold any
Ordinary Shares in Treasury. Therefore, the total number of
Ordinary Shares in the Company with voting rights is 1,119,877,899.
The above figure may 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 and Transparency Rules.
