UK Oil & Gas Investments PLC
("UKOG" or the "Company")
Loan Conversion
UK Oil & Gas Investments PLC (London AIM: UKOG), announces
that, in relation to the GBP10 million financing announced on 15
November 2017 ("the Loan"), it has received a notice of exercise
from Cuart Investments PCC Ltd and YA II PN Ltd ("Investors") to
convert part of the Loan, with an aggregate par value of
GBP500,000, into equity ("Conversion Notice").
The Company has therefore allotted 18,581,144 new ordinary
shares to the Investors ("Investor Shares"). The Investor Shares
will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary
shares.
Application has been made for these New Ordinary Shares to be
admitted to trading on AIM and it is anticipated that trading in
such shares will commence on or around 15 January 2018.
The Company has received the second and final tranche of the
loan note at the end of last year which increased the outstanding
loan amount to GBP7.5 million. After today's conversion, the Par
Value outstanding on the Loan is GBP7 million.
Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital
will comprise 3,649,287,689 ordinary shares. The Company does not
hold any shares in treasury. This figure of 3,649,287,689 ordinary
shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if
they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their
interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Loan Terms
The terms of the Loan, as stated by the Company on 15 November
2017, includes a provision that for as long as any portion of the
Loan is outstanding, neither the Investors nor any of their
affiliates;
i. shall hold any net short position with respect to the equity
of UKOG and
ii. can trade more than 15 % of the number of UKOG shares that
have traded in a trading day.
The Loan is convertible in tranches of not less than GBP250,000,
with a limit of GBP3 million per quarter, starting from 15 November
2017, unless otherwise agreed by the Company.
Options
There were 35 million options held by manament and consultants
which were due to expire on 31 December 2017. However, given the
ongoing activities at the Broadford Bridge well site and the
forthcoming publication of the Company's Annual Accounts, the
holders of these options were prevented from exercising these
options under the provisions of UKOG's Share Dealing Code. As such,
the exercise period is deemed to be extended until the date which
falls ten business days after the later of the date on which the
option holder ceases to be an insider (as defined in the Criminal
Justice Act 1993 and the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000)
or the date on which the option holder is no longer restricted from
dealing under the terms of UKOG's Share Dealing Code, or is
otherwise no longer prohibited.
