Result of General Meeting and Total Voting Rights
Bahamas Petroleum, the oil and gas exploration company with
licences in The Commonwealth of the Bahamas announced on 16 March
2011 that Canaccord Genuity Limited, FirstEnergy Capital LLP and
Novus Capital Markets Ltd, on behalf of the Company, had firmly
placed 110,000,000 new ordinary shares of 0.002p each in the
capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") ("First Tranche Placing
Shares") and conditionally placed a further 133,100,000 new
Ordinary Shares ("Second Tranche Placing Shares", together, the
"Placing Shares") (the "Placing") with new and existing
institutional investors at a placing price of 18.75 pence per
Ordinary Share, to raise (assuming all Placing Shares are issued)
approximately GBP45.6 million (before expenses).
Following the Extraordinary General Meeting held earlier today,
the Company is pleased to announce that all resolutions put to
Shareholders were duly passed and that the 133,100,000 Second
Tranche Placing Shares have been allotted and issued to
institutional and other investors conditional on Admission.
Accordingly, it is expected that dealings in these new Ordinary
Shares will commence at 08.00 on Tuesday 12(th) April 2011.
The First Tranche Placing Shares were admitted to trading on the
AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange on 18 March 2011.
The total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights in issue
following the Placing will be 1,230,479,096. Bahamas Petroleum does
not hold any ordinary shares in treasury. The figure of
1,230,479,096 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if
they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their
interest in, the Company under the Financial Services Authority's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Paul Crevello, Chief Executive Office of Bahamas Petroleum,
commented:
"I am delighted with the support shown by investors and their
continued confidence in the Company. These funds are already being
put to use as the Company has signed a Letter of Award with
CGGVeritas to carry out the 3D seismic survey across the Company's
Southern Licence area with operations commencing in May 2011.
"On behalf of the Board, I would like to welcome our new
shareholders and thank them, and our existing shareholders, for
their support at what promises to be a stimulating time for the
Company."
