EQTEC plc (AIM: EQT), a global
technology innovator powering distributed, decarbonised, new energy
infrastructure through its waste-to-value solutions for hydrogen,
biofuels, and energy generation, announces that further to its
announcement of 28 May 2024 ("Placing Announcement"), the Company
confirms receipt of £350,000 in relation to the Placing, resulting
in the issuance of 25,000,000 new Shares to the relevant
subscribers (the "Initial Placing
Shares").
A further 2,435,499 new Shares are
being issued in settlement of brokerage fees in relation to the
Placing ("Fee Shares") to
Fortified Securities, the Company's broker arranging the
Placing.
The new Shares detailed above are
being issued utilising the Company's existing share authorities and
will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing
Shares.
Application is being made to the
London Stock Exchange for admission of the Initial Placing Shares
and Fee Shares ("Admission"), being in aggregate
27,435,499 new Shares and it is expected that Admission will become
effective and that dealings in the new Shares on AIM will commence
at 8.00 a.m. on or around 6 June 2024.
Following Admission, there will be
221,723,420 Shares in issue. The Company holds no Shares in
Treasury. This number may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculation 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 Guidance and Transparency Rules.
As noted in the Placing
Announcement, the balance of 35,887,490 Placing Shares are to be
settled on or around 10 June 2024. Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for admission for
this balancing amount, in due course, with an announcement being
released at the appropriate time.
Unless otherwise defined herein, all defined terms used in
this announcement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Company's announcement of 28 May 2024.
