European Wealth Group Limited
("EWG", the "Company" or the "Group")
Update on Admission, Result of Open Offer and Total Voting
Rights
European Wealth Group Limited (AIM: EWG, EWGL), the integrated
wealth management group, is pleased to announce that Kingswood and
Astoria have waived the outstanding condition of the Subscription
and Underwriting Agreement. The outstanding condition related to a
disputed invoice from a third party claiming an introductory fee in
relation to the Fundraising. The Board intends to contest the
invoice vigorously.
It is expected that Admission will become effective, and that
dealings on AIM will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 27 July 2017.
Revised terms of the Fundraising
In addition to waiving the outstanding condition, Kingswood and
Astoria have also agreed to vary the Subscription and Underwriting
Agreement, as set out below:
-- Kingswood are now subscribing for 34,318,236 Subscription
Shares and Astoria are now subscribing for 13,685,344 Subscription
Shares. The aggregate number of Subscription Shares remains at
48,003,580, however, Kingswood and Astoria were previously both
subscribing for 24,001,790 Subscription Shares. Kingswood and
Astoria are still both subscribing for half of the Remaining
Shares;
-- Kingswood has the right to nominate two directors to the
Board whilst it holds more than 17.5% (previously 20%) of the
Company's issued share capital and Astoria has the right to
nominate one director whilst it holds more than 17.5% (previously
20%) of the Company's issued share capital;
-- an additional project fee of GBP90,000 is payable by the
Company to Kingswood. In addition, the Company has incurred certain
additional fees (including legal fees) in connection with the
Fundraising. The total costs and expenses payable by the Company
are therefore now estimated to amount to approximately GBP0.61
million (excluding Value Added Tax). The net proceeds of the
Fundraising are expected to be approximately GBP8.65 million.
Interests of Kingswood and Astoria following Admission
Following Admission, Kingswood will hold 39,772,165 New Ordinary
Shares, representing approximately 39.99 per cent of the Enlarged
Share Capital and Astoria will hold 19,139,272 New Ordinary Shares,
representing approximately 19.24 per cent of the Enlarged Share
Capital.
Result of Open Offer
The Company also issues a correction to the result of Open Offer
made on 19 July 2017. The Company confirms that it has received
applications for 11,923,078 New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the
Open Offer. 6,645,049 of these applications were in respect of
Shareholders' Basic Entitlement and 5,278,029 were in respect of
the Excess Application Facility. In addition, the Company received
applications from employees for 1,170,855 New Ordinary Shares. In
total, 13,093,933 New Ordinary Shares were subscribed for under the
Open Offer and Employee Offer, representing 54.6 per cent. of the
24,001,790 shares available thereunder.
The remaining 10,907,857 New Ordinary Shares have been taken up
by Astoria and Kingswood as detailed above, in accordance with the
terms of the Subscription and Underwriting Agreement.

Settlement and dealings
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the
New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Fundraising and Debt Conversion
to be admitted to trading on AIM. The New Ordinary Shares will rank
pari passu in all respects with the Company's Existing Ordinary
Shares. It is expected that Admission will become effective, and
that dealings on AIM will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 27 July
2017.
Total Voting Rights
The Company also announces that the number of shares in issue
announced on 27 February 2017 should have been 26,668,656 Ordinary
Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the correct figure was used in
the Circular and the resultant total voting rights set out below
are calculated from this number.
In accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA)
Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the Company hereby announces
that following Admission it will have 99,455,276 Ordinary Shares in
issue, none of which are held in Treasury. Therefore, the total
number of voting rights in the Company is 99,455,276.
The above figure of 99,455,276 may be used by shareholders in
the Company 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 share capital of the Company
under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Buzz West, Chairman of EWG, commented,
"I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude
to all who have helped us reach this latest milestone in the
Group's development through their support and uptake of the Open
Offer.
With the Group's funding now on a much more secure footing, I
believe that existing and new shareholders can look forward with
renewed confidence in the future success of EWG."
Capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the
meaning ascribed to them in the shareholder circular published on
26 June 2017 unless the context otherwise requires.
