Empyrean Energy plc ("Empyrean" or the "Company"), the oil and gas development
company with interests in Australia, Indonesia and the United States, advises
that it has raised £600,000 (before costs) through a placing of 666,666,667
new ordinary shares of 0.01p each in the Company (the "Placing Shares") at a
price of 0.09p per Placing Share (the "Issue Price") (the "Placing").
CMC Markets Plc, trading as CMC CapX, is the Company's placing agent in
respect of the Placing.
A retail offer on the same terms as the Placing (the "Retail Offer" and,
together with the Placing, the "Fundraising") will commence immediately
following this Announcement and applications for this offer are expected to
close in 3 days. Details of the Retail Offer will be announced seperately.
Funds raised pursuant to the Fundraising will be used to test the potential
oil zone in the Wilson River-1 well and for general working capital.
The Placing is conditional on the Placing Shares being admitted to trading on
the AIM market operated by London Stock Exchange plc ("Admission"). Admission
is expected to take place on 2 May 2024.
Following Admission, the Company will have 4,401,759,108 New Ordinary Shares
in issue. This figure may be used by shareholders of 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 Guidance and
Transparency Rules.
