Placing to Raise US$7 million to Expand Mozambique Beef Operations
Agriterra Ltd, the AIM listed company focussed on the agricultural sector in
central and southern Africa, announces that it has conditionally raised US$7
million (before expenses) by way of a placing of 145,483,334 new ordinary shares
of 0.1 pence each in the Company ('the Placing Shares'), with new and existing
shareholders at a price of 3 pence per Placing Share ('the Placing'). The funds
raised will be used primarily to expand the Company's cattle ranching and
feedlot production business in Mozambique and for general working capital.
Agriterra Executive Director Euan Kay said, "Our cattle ranching operations
continue to progress rapidly, with total head of cattle now exceeding 1,600
across our two ranches which cover more than 15,000 hectares. Following the
Centro de Promocao de Investimentos approval (Major Project Investment Approval)
from the Government of Mozambique in October, we plan to aggressively move
forward with our expansion plans, and continue development of the Vanduzi
abattoir/feedlot project."
The Placing Shares will represent 20.99% of the enlarged issued ordinary share
capital, which will then comprise 693,254,888 ordinary shares of 0.1p each.
The Placing is conditional on the admission of the Placing Shares to trading on
AIM ('Admission'). Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for
the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading and it is expected that Admission
will occur, and dealings in the Placing Shares will commence on 19 November
2010.
The Placing Shares will, when issued, rank pari passu in all respects with the
existing issued shares of Agriterra, including the right to receive any
dividends and other distributions declared following Admission.
