John Laing Environmental Assets Group Limited
Result of Initial Placing
Further to the announcement on 21 February 2018, the Board of
John Laing Environmental Assets Group Limited ("JLEN" or the
"Company") announces that it has raised GBP15.5 million through the
issue of 15,600,000 New Ordinary Shares at a price of 99.5 pence
per New Ordinary Share ("Issue Price"). Any Placing applications at
a price below the Issue Price have not been accepted.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Placing to
pay down its revolving credit facility and hence allow it to
deliver on a near term pipeline of attractive opportunities across
the Biomass and Anaerobic Digestion sectors, further diversifying
the Company's portfolio.
Application will be made to the Financial Conduct Authority for
admission of the New Ordinary Shares to the premium segment of the
Official List and to the London Stock Exchange plc for admission to
trading of the New Ordinary Shares on its main market for listed
securities ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become
effective on or around 8.00 a.m. on 9 March 2018 and that dealings
in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at that time.
The New Ordinary Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully
paid and rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in the
capital of the Company, including the right to receive all future
dividends and distributions declared, made or paid.
Immediately following Admission, the Company's issued share
capital will consist of 394,077,029 Ordinary Shares with voting
rights. This figure may be used by shareholders in determining the
denominator for the calculation by which they will establish 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.
Terms used in this announcement shall, unless the context
otherwise requires, bear the meanings given to them in the
prospectus published by the Company on 23 February 2018 which can
be found on JLEN's website at www.jlen.com.
