Weatherly International plc
("Weatherly" or the "Company")
Significant shareholder change and directorship change
In July 2013, Ongopolo Mining Limited ("OML") a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, entered into a contract with Logiman CC
("Logiman") for the engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC
Contract") of the Tschudi Copper Project in Namibia. The contract
was for a total price (subject to agreed variations and claims) of
ZAR641m excluding VAT on a fixed price basis. A second contract
dealt with the sharing of certain cost savings which were
anticipated in respect of the EPC Contract between the parties. As
previously announced in July, there remain certain unresolved
disputes with Logiman, and while arbitration proceedings have not
yet commenced, the Company still considers that arbitration
proceedings are likely.
Following its participation in certain capital raisings and
further market purchases, Logiman held 11.4% of the Company's
shares and, pursuant to their subscription of 8 May 2015, was
entitled to nominate one director to the Company's board of
directors. This board position was held by Krzysztof Szymczak,
Managing Director of Logiman.
Logiman notified the Company on the 7(th) December that their
new shareholding is now 102,164,832 shares representing 9.6% of the
Company. The sales occurred between 14(th) and 24(th) November. The
shares were sold on market and Weatherly has not been advised of
the precise price achieved on the sale. As their new holding is
less than 10% Krzysztof Szymczak has tendered his resignation as a
director of the Company with immediate effect which the Board has
accepted.
Further announcements will be made in due course regarding these
matters.
