APPOINTMENT OF BROKER AND RESTORATION OF TRADING
TomCo Energy plc (AIM: TOM), the oil shale exploration,
development and technology group focused on using innovative
technology to unlock unconventional hydrocarbon resources, is
pleased to announce the appointment of Turner Pope Investments
(TPI) Ltd ("Turner Pope") as broker to the Company with immediate
effect. In addition, further to its announcement of 16 November
2018, trading in the Company's ordinary shares on AIM will resume
with effect from 7.30 a.m. today.
Notwithstanding the Board's previously stated position regarding
the November 2018 placing agreement entered into with the Company's
former broker, the Board has reconciled to accept its termination
in the longer-term interests of shareholders. Accordingly, the
placing announced on 5 November 2018 (the "Placing") will not
proceed and the Company will withdraw the application for the
Placing shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. The decision was
arrived at after discussions with the Company's advisers and its
new broker.
As announced on 16 November 2018, the Company confirms that it
currently has cash resources of approximately GBP250,000, which the
Board believes is sufficient to fund the Company through to late Q1
2019. This is in line with previous guidance announced on 30
October prior to the announcement of the terminated Placing, and as
set out in that announcement, the Company will need to raise
further funds for working capital and loan repayments beyond Q1
2019.
The Company continues to review and analyse the data collected
from the recent field test activities to determine the optimal step
going forward with regard to the applicability of TurboShale Inc.'s
(in which the Company has an 80% interest) RF technology, to the
recovery of oil from the oil shale at the Holliday Block and the
funding requirements thereto, which are in addition to the
Company's working capital requirements referred to above.
The Directors appreciate that recent developments will have been
of concern to shareholders and will provide further updates in due
course.
