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 €0.015 par value each
in the capital of the Company to Sanderson. The Sanderson Shares will be
issued as a drawdown fee upon receipt of £300,000 from Sanderson, representing
the second drawdown on the Facility of up to £1,500,000 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 £51,000, 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 have 351,424,760 shares in issue.
