Share Issue
Kibo Mining plc ("Kibo" or the "Company") (AIM: KIBO; AltX:
KBO), the Tanzania focused mineral exploration and development
Company has today elected to make the second drawdown of the loan
facility (the "Facility") provided to the Company by Sanderson
Capital Partners Limited ("Sanderson"), the details of which were
announced on the Company's RNS of 03 March 2016.
In accordance with the terms of the Facility the Company has
today allotted 1,360,000 Ordinary Shares (the "Sanderson Shares")
of EUR0.015 par value each in the capital of the Company to
Sanderson. The Sanderson Shares will be issued as a drawdown fee
upon receipt of GBP300,000 from Sanderson, representing the second
drawdown on the Facility of up to GBP1,500,000 provided by
Sanderson to the Company. The Sanderson Shares comprise 1,186,046
shares to be issued in relation to the second drawdown and a
further issue of 173,954 shares in relation to the first drawdown
(announced on 3 March 2016). The mid-price for Kibo shares on 3
March 2016 of 3.75 pence per share was outside the 4 pence to 5
pence per share range in which the standard drawdown fee is fixed
at 1,186,046 Ordinary Shares in Kibo. This gave rise to a shortfall
in the shares issued to Sanderson in respect of the first drawdown
fee of GBP51,000, which was calculated on an effective price of 4.3
pence per share.
Application will be made for the Shares to be admitted to
trading on AIM and the JSE AltX markets. Trading in the Shares is
expected to commence on AIM and the JSE on or around 15th April
2016 ("Admission"). On completion of Admission the Company will
