Cadogan Petroleum Plc
("Cadogan" or the "Company")
Issue of Equity
Cadogan Petroleum plc (“Cadogan” or the “Company”) announces that it
has issued 8,399,165 Ordinary shares of £0.03 each, (“New Ordinary
Shares”) in the capital of the Company for cash on the basis of £0.03 per
share.
2,270,549 ordinary shares are being issued to the previous CEO, Mr Guido
Michelotti, to be satisfied in full using the entire amount of the 2018 and
2019 bonuses due (but which had not yet been paid), totalling €75,900.
628,616 ordinary shares are being issued to Mr Andriy Bilyy (General Director
of Cadogan Ukraine), to be satisfied in full using the entire amount of the
2019 bonus due (but which had not yet been paid), totalling $23,040.
5,500,000 ordinary shares are being issued to the CEO, Mr Fady Khallouf, to be
satisfied in full using the entire amount of the welcome bonus due.
The Company confirms that each of Mr Guido Michelotti, Mr Andriy Bilyy and Mr
Fady Khallouf have agreed to fund the income tax due on the bonuses from
their own resources. Therefore there is no immediate need for any of the
above shares to be sold to fund the tax liability arising on the bonuses.
Also, as a consequence, there will be no cash outflow for the Company arising
from the award of the bonuses, with the exception of any related social
security contributions that fall due following the payment of the bonuses.
In addition, Mr Fady Khallouf has undertaken not to sell the shares for a
period of two years from the date of subscription.
Full details of the bonus payments for Mr Fady Khallouf and Mr Guido
Michelotti are set out within the ‘Annual Report on Remuneration’ in the
Company’s 2019 Annual Financial Report.
Application has been made for the new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to
trading on the London Stock Exchange (the "Admission"), and dealings in the
new Ordinary Shares are expected to commence on or around 2(nd) June 2020.
Following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares the total number of Ordinary
Shares in issue is 244,128,487. There are 66 Ordinary Shares held in
treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company
is 244,128,421. This figure 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 to their interest under the
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
