Kibo Energy PLC ('Kibo' or the 'Company')
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting and Proposed Subdivision of Shares & Reduction of
Nominal Value & Increase in Authorised Share Capital
Kibo Energy PLC ("Kibo" or the "Company"), the multi-asset, Africa focused energy company, is
pleased to announce that a Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) & Sample Proxy Form
(together “Notice of AGM”) is now available on its website at this link Notice of Extraordinary
General Meeting & Form of Proxy.
The EGM will be held at 12 noon on Friday, 2 June 2023, at the Grand Canal Hotel, Grand Canal
Street Upper, D04 X5X7, Dublin 4, Ireland.
This EGM is being held by the Company in substitution of reconvening the adjourned EGM held on
16 March 2023, as additional resolutions have been added to the agenda for which a new general
meeting is required under the Company’s Memos & Articles of Association.
The purpose of the EGM is to seek Shareholder approval for the renewal of director authorisations
to issue shares, reduce the par (nominal value) of the Kibo ordinary shares and to increase the
authorised share capital of the Company. These approvals are required to complete the measures
outlined in the Company’s RNS/SENS of 11 April 2023 and to provide the Company with the
ability to raise follow-on finance to implement its business strategy as outlined in its project update
RNS/SENS of 6 April 2023.
The details of the reduction in the par value of the Kibo ordinary shares and the increase in
authorised share capital being proposed are as follows:
Reduction in Par Value
The directors are seeking approval for the reduction in the par value of the Kibo ordinary shares
from their current value of €0.001 to a value of €0.0001. This is being accommodated by a share
division (the “Subdivision”) of the existing ordinary share capital into New Ordinary Shares of par
value of €0.0001 and 2023 Deferred Shares of par value €0.0009. The New Ordinary Shares will
replace the Existing Ordinary Shares i.e., swapped on a 1 for 1 basis such that shareholders will
retain the same number of ordinary shares with the same rights following the Subdivision. The 2023
Deferred Shares are effectively an artefact of the reduction in par value and are worthless. It is
intended that they will be removed from the share capital of the Company at a later stage (at a later
EGM/AGM) together with the other existing 2013 Deferred Shares and 2019 Deferred Shares,
created during previous corporate reorganisations.
Increase in Authorised Capital
Following the reduction in par value, the directors are seeking authority to issue up to an additional
5 billion Ordinary Shares of €0.0001 each, additional to the current authorised share capital of 5
billion Ordinary Shares (current issued share capital of 3,731,866,683 Ordinary Shares). This
increase in authorised share capital (“Headroom”) is required to accommodate the issue of warrants
under the terms of the Conversion of the 7% Loan Note Redeemable Instrument and the reprofiling
of the Institutional Investor Bridge Loan Facility (see sections B & C on the Company’s
RNS/SENS of 11 April 2023). Provision is also being made in the additional Headroom to
accommodate any future equity fundings that the Company may require.
The Notice of EGM is being dispatched by post today to those shareholders who have indicated a
preference to receive hard copies and, otherwise, communicated electronically. Shareholders
should consult the notes to the Notice of EGM for detailed information on the options for returning
proxies.
The timetable of events applicable to the EGM and the proposals therein are shown for AIM
shareholders in Table 1 and JSE(AltX) shareholders in Table 2 below.
