BWA Group PLC

(“BWA”, the “Group”, or the “Company”) (AQSE: BWAP)

 

Settlement of Legal Action

 

BWA Group Plc [AQSE: BWAP], which holds mineral exploration licences in both
Cameroon and Canada and is quoted on London’s AQSE Growth Market, is pleased
to announce the settlement of its legal action with St-Georges Eco-Mining
Corp. (“SX”) which was announced on 31 December 2021 (the
“Settlement”).

 

Under the terms of the Settlement:

 
* SX will convert £731,124 of the 0% convertible loan notes issued in
consideration for Kings of the North Corp. (“KOTN”), originally announced
5 September 2019 (the “Convertible Notes”), into 146,224,800 ordinary
shares of 0.5p each in the capital of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”).
* SX will return for cancellation a further £1,420,285 of the Convertible
Notes.
* In addition, SX will use its best endeavours to return up to a further
£1,803,456 of Convertible Notes for cancellation from certain connected
parties of SX (the “Additional Convertible Notes”).  If any of the
Additional Convertible Notes are not returned for cancellation within 30
working days, SX will issue new Common Shares to BWA equivalent to 50% of the
nominal value of the uncancelled Additional Convertible Notes, calculated on
the closing mid-market price of the SX Common Shares, as quoted on the
Canadian Securities Exchange, for the day prior to the issue.
* SX will abstain from voting at any general meeting of BWA shareholders for a
period of 3 years on any resolution concerning board membership or management
composition. 
* BWA will retain ownership of KOTN and all its underlying assets, consisting
substantially of Canadian mining exploration licences and ore bodies.
* All legal action in both the UK and Canada will be terminated by both
parties.
 

The new Ordinary Shares are expected to be admitted to trading on the AQSE
Growth Market on 26 February 2024 (“Admission”).  On Admission, SX will
hold 149,224,800 Ordinary Shares, equivalent to 19.80% of the issued Ordinary
Shares.

 

On Admission, the Company will have 753,573,147 Ordinary Shares in issue, each
with one voting right. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury and
therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company is 753,573,147.
This figure should be used by shareholders from Admission as the denominator
for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to
notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under
the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
