Chaarat Gold Holdings Limited
("Chaarat" or "the Company")
Issue of balance of security fee shares to Labro
Chaarat, the AIM-quoted gold mining company with assets in
the Kyrgyz Republic and Armenia, announces that the balance
of the Investor Loan (as described in the Company's announcement
on 6 October 2020) was not repaid by 31 October 2020. Pursuant
to the terms of the security agreement described in the Company's
announcement on 15 April 2020, the Company has issued 8,000,000
new ordinary shares of US$0.01 each in the capital of the Company
(the "Security Fee Shares") to Labro Investments Limited ("Labro")
as the second instalment of the security fee payable in connection
with the Investor Loan.
Labro now holds:
-- 219,092,573 ordinary shares of US$0.01 each in the capital
of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") representing approximately
40.57% of Chaarat's issued share capital; and
-- Loan Notes for US$1,000,000 (the "Loan Notes") convertible
into 2,849,330 Ordinary Shares assuming full conversion
of principal and interest to maturity.
If all Loan Notes were subsequently converted (assuming full
conversion of principal and interest to maturity) and no options
to subscribe for Ordinary Shares issued by the Company were
exercised, no other convertible Loan Notes issued by the Company
were converted and no other Ordinary Shares were issued), Labro
would hold 221,941,903 Ordinary Shares representing 40.88%
of the resulting enlarged share capital.
Mr Martin Andersson, who is indirectly beneficially interested
in the majority of shares of Labro, is beneficially interested
directly in 5,829,996 Ordinary Shares and, pursuant to restricted
share awards and share options granted by the Company to Mr
Andersson, may become entitled to a further 18,474,057 Ordinary
Shares. If Mr Andersson were to acquire all the shares to which
he may become entitled, on a combined basis, Labro and Mr Andersson
would together hold 246,245,956 Ordinary Shares representing
44.03% of the resulting enlarged share capital.
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes
of Article 7 of Regulation (EU) 596/2014.
Notes
1. Application has been made for the Security Fee Shares to
be admitted to trading on AIM, and it is expected that admission
will become effective and trading of the Security Fee Shares
will commence on or around 8:00am (London time) on 5 November
2020.
2. Following the admission of the Security Fee Shares, the
Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 540,062,210
Ordinary Shares. This figure may be used by shareholders
of the Company as the denominator for the calculations by
which they will determine whether they are required to notify
their interests in, or a change to their interest in, the
Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure
Guidance and Transparency Rules Sourcebook.
There is a provision in the Company's articles of association
3 (Regulation 19) which states that the Board has the right
. to require any holder of more than 20% of the Ordinary Shares
to make a mandatory offer to all the Company's shareholders
to acquire their Ordinary Shares if they acquire an additional
interest in any Ordinary Shares. The Security Fee Shares
do not fall under the waiver for market share purchases
of up to three million Ordinary Shares announced by the
Company on 16 September 2020. On 1 November 2020, the Board
(excluding Martin Andersson) exercised its discretion to
waive the requirement for a mandatory offer for the Company
by Labro, to allow Labro to receive the Security Fee Shares.
