Ascent Resources plc
("Ascent" or the "Company")
Issue of Equity and TVR
Ascent Resources Plc (LON: AST), the onshore Caribbean, Hispanic
American and European focused natural resources company, has today
issued 1,636,363 new ordinary shares of 0.5 pence each in the
Company ("New Ordinary Shares") at an issue price of 3.3 pence.
303,030 New Ordinary Shares have been issued to a consultant in
lieu of cash for services provided over the last six months,
242,424 New Ordinary Shares have been issued to staff and 1,090,909
New Ordinary Shares have been issued to Align Research Limited
("Align") in relation to research services to be provided over the
next year. Align, who are a substantial shareholder of Ascent, have
agreed with the Company not to dispose of any of these New Ordinary
Shares for a period of at least three months. This transaction
constitutes a related party transaction pursuant to the AIM Rules
for Companies. The independent directors (being all of the
directors), having consulted with WH Ireland Limited, consider the
transaction to be fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's
shareholders are concerned.
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the
New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission")
and it is expected that such Admission will occur at 8.00 a.m. on 9
February 2022 . The New Ordinary Shares will be issued credited as
fully paid and will rank in full for all dividends and other
distributions declared, made or paid after Admission and will
otherwise be identical to and rank on Admission pari passu in all
respects with the existing Ordinary Shares.
Following Admission, the Company will have 129,498,015 Ordinary
Shares in issue. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in
treasury. Accordingly, the total number of voting rights in the
Company will be 129,498,015 and shareholders may use this figure 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.
