MetalNRG plc
(The "Company" or "MetalNRG")
Option to acquire additional equity in BritNRG Limited.
MetalNRG Plc (LSE:MNRG), the natural resource investing and
exploration company, announces that is has entered into an option
agreement (the "Option Agreement") with BritEnergy Holdings LLP
(the "Seller"), and the current holder of 500 ordinary shares in
BritNRG Limited.
The Option Agreement provides that MetalNRG may acquire a
further 150 ordinary shares of GBP0.001 (the "Option Shares") in
BritNRG Limited ("BritNRG"), which is the special purpose vehicle
focused on the development of oil & gas and other energy sector
assets. The option rights extend to a total of 15% of the issued
ordinary share capital of BritNRG and, if exercised, would take
MetalNRG's interest in BritNRG to 65%, assuming MetalNRG has also
exercised all options granted to it under the shareholders
agreement relating to BritNRG, which includes conversion of the
outstanding convertible loan note in the sum of GBP175,000 (as
reported in MetalNRG's regulatory announcement of 15(th) January
2021) into 194 ordinary shares of BritNRG.
The main terms of the Option Agreement are as follows:
-- MetalNRG will pay the Seller a consideration of GBP545,000 (the "Option Price").
-- In consideration of the payment of the Option Price by
MetalNRG to the Seller, the Seller grants MetalNRG an option to
purchase all of the Option Shares on the following terms:
- the earliest date on which the option may be exercised shall
be the date on which BritNRG is listed on a recognised stock
exchange; if a listing of BritNRG has not occurred within 18 months
of the Option Agreement effective date then the Option Agreement
will lapse;
- the Seller has the right to cancel the option and terminate
the Option Agreement at any time during the next 4 months by giving
written notice, paying the sum of GBP570,000 to MetalNRG, from
BritENERGY Holdings LLP or from a suitable alternative buyer;
- the consideration payable by MetalNRG on exercise of the
option shall be satisfied in cash at completion and is set at the
nominal value of the Option Shares (GBP0.001 per Option Share)
being an aggregate exercise price of GBP0.15;
- simultaneously, BritNRG Holdings LLP has entered into a
parallel reverse option to acquire up to 300 shares from MetalNRG
for an exercise price of GBP4,000 for each option share for a total
consideration of GBP1.2 million.
Rolf Gerritsen, CEO, commented: " We have now entered into an
option agreement with the private investors that participated in
the acquisition of the oil & gas assets to acquire an
additional 150 ordinary shares in BritNRG on its market listing,
which we expect will be completed within the next 18 months. We
believe there is substantial upside to BritNRG and are working
towards getting the company listed while maintaining an economic
interest."
