Beowulf Mining plc
("Beowulf" or the "Company")
Update on Financial Position and Total Voting Rights
Beowulf (AIM: BEM; Spotlight: BEO), the European mineral exploration and
development company, provides an update on its financial position and
announces that the total issued share capital of the Company consists of
63,703,707 ordinary shares of 5 pence each, none of which are held in
treasury.
Financial Position
Further to the Company's preliminary results announcement of 27 February 2026,
the Company is continuing to progress discussions in relation to a potential
financing. The Board cautions that the Company will need to secure additional
financing in the very near term in order to progress its projects and provide
working capital for its operations.
While discussions are at an advanced stage and term sheets have been received,
there can be no certainty that such financing can be obtained or on the terms
of any financing. Further updates will be provided as appropriate.
The Company's longer-term funding strategy remains to independently finance
the next development phase for Grafintec, and through the sale of Vardar,
raise sufficient capital to complete the Kallak PFS and Environmental Permit
application and cover corporate costs for at least a 12-month period.
The Heads of Terms for the sale of 100% of Vardar has been signed, although
the transaction remains non-binding. The Company maintains a positive dialogue
with the potential buyer and hopes to be able to conclude the transaction in
the coming months though there can be no certainty that the transaction will
proceed or on the final terms of any transaction.
Grafintec continues to meet with a broad range of potential equity investors
with a number progressing to reviewing the company's data-room under
confidentiality agreements. The intention is to secure the €5 million equity
component of the capital requirement for the construction and operation of the
pilot plant over the next two years. Grafintec has been informed that its
application to Business Finland for a Research, Development and Piloting loan
scheme for a loan of €7 million has not been successful on this occasion,
primarily due to failing one of the eligibility criteria. The Company
continues to engage with Business Finland and review options for addressing
this eligibility criteria and intends to reapply in the coming months.
These potential sources of longer-term funding are currently at non-binding
stages, so no assurance can be given that they will successfully complete, or
on the final terms of which any such transactions may be completed.
Total Voting Rights
Beowulf, in accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and
Transparency Rules, announces that the total issued share capital of the
Company consists of 63,703,707 ordinary shares of 5 pence each, none of which
are held in treasury.
The above figure of 63,703,707 may be used by shareholders in the Company as
the denominator for the
calculations 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 and
Transparency Rules.
