("EQTEC" or the "Company")
Notification of shareholdings
EQTEC plc (AIM: EQT), the technology solution company for waste
gasification to energy projects, announces that it has received the
following TR1 notifications from certain shareholders in the
Company, which are included at the end of this announcement.
The Company sets out below further explanation to assist
shareholders, based on the Company's understanding of the current
shareholdings following receipt of the TR1s.
On 6 August 2018, the Company announced that it had issued
191,666,667 new ordinary shares of EUR0.001 in the Company
("Ordinary Shares" or "Shares") to Origen Capital LLP ("Origen")
following Origen's investment of GBP1.15 million. The investment
was made on behalf of a consortium of investors. On issue, the
voting rights to these Shares rested with Origen and accordingly,
the Company disclosed Origen as being interested in 10.71% of the
Company's enlarged issued share capital at that time.
The Company, in the same announcement, provided details of
100,000,000 new Shares issued to Altair Group Investment Limited
("Altair") and 15,528,000 new Shares issued to Ecofinance (GLI)
Limited ("Ecofinance") in relation to the capitalisation of
interest payments into equity. As a result, the Company disclosed
that Altair and Ecofinance were interested in 5.54% and 0.87%
respectively of the Company's then enlarged issued share
capital.
The Company has now been informed by Origen that the voting
rights on the Shares issued to it on 6 August 2018 have been
transferred to the consortium's underlying investors, resulting in
the issue of the below TR1 forms. Of the 191,666,667 Shares issued
to Origen, the Company has been notified through the TR1 forms that
the beneficial interest and voting rights to 175,000,000 Shares,
representing 9.71% of the Company's issued share capital, are now
held by Mr Khalid Choksy, with Altair now holding the beneficial
interest and voting rights of the remaining 16,666,667 Shares. As a
result, the Company has been advised that Origen no longer holds
any Shares.
Given the above, Altair has also provided a TR1 form, setting
out that it is currently interested in 137,868,580 Shares,
representing 7.64% of the Company's issued share capital, being
5,673,913 Shares issued to Altair in 2015, 100,000,000 Shares
issued to it on 6 August 2018, the 16,666,667 Shares transferred to
it from Origen as detailed above, and 15,528,000 Shares held by
Ecofinance, which is ultimately controlled by Altair. Altair has
included the Ecofinance shares as part of its disclosure due to the
fact that Altair has the ultimate controlling interest in
Ecofinance.
Set out below is a table of the Company' significant
shareholders as far as it is aware, based on the Company's current
issued share capital of 1,804,744,223 Shares.
