Completion of Fundraising
FCR, the lead-zinc exploration company, is pleased to announce that the placement, via
Peterhouse Corporate Finance Limited as AIM broker for the Company, of 214,782,526 fully
paid new ordinary shares at an issue price of 0.09 pence per share (the Placing Shares), as
announced on 8 September 2017 (the Placing), has now been completed. The Placing raised,
in aggregate, approximately GBP193,304 (before expenses).
The Placing Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors without
shareholder approval utilising the Company's existing placement capacity under ASX Listing
Rule 7.1A.
The net proceeds from the Placing will be used to undertake additional exploration and
evaluation activities at the Toral and Lago lead-zinc exploration projects in northwest Spain,
as well as for general working capital purposes.
An Appendix 3B and Cleansing Notice are attached.
Information required under ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A
(a) Dilution to existing shareholders as a result of the Placing is as follows:
Details Issued Shares Dilution
Number of shares on issue prior to the Placing 2,469,999,055 N/A
Placing issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A 214,782,526 8.00%
Number of shares on issue following the Placing 2,684,781,581 N/A
The securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A have been issued to both existing and new
security holders. The percentages of the post-Placing capital are as follows:
- 89.95% held by pre-Placing security holders who did not participate in the Placing;
- 6.19% held by pre-Placing security holders who did participate in the Placing;
- 3.86% held by participants in the Placing who were not previously security holders.
(b) The Company issued 214,782,526 shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A as a placement
which was considered to be the most efficient and expedient means by which to raise funds
in the current circumstances. The Placing did not expose FCR to additional costs, a
protracted process and market volatility that may have been experienced with a pro rata
issue or other type of issue in which existing ordinary security holders would have been
eligible to participate.
(c) A fee of up to 5% may be paid to brokers/advisers in connection with the Placing.
