Working Capital Facility

Issue of Equity & TVR

 

Galileo Resources Plc is pleased to announce is pleased to announce that the
Company has entered into an unsecured convertible loan funding facility (the
"Facility") for £600,000 with Sanderson Capital Partners Ltd (the Lender"),
which is convertible on fixed conversion terms at a price of 1.00 pence per
share over three tranches (a premium of 22.5% compared with the closing
mid-market price on 8 May 2025). The Facility is a standby facility providing
additional working capital for the Company. The Company can use the Facility,
at its discretion, to fund the working capital requirements of the Company and
its subsidiaries as determined by the Company but is not required to drawdown
under the Facility.

 

 

Colin Bird Chairman & CEO said:" The board of Galileo has put in place a
working capital facility with no compulsion to draw down but remains in place
for contingencies. The board is mindful of the negative effects of large
placings and dilution and feel that the instrument is the correct type in
light of the progress potential of the Company's current portfolio".

 

 

Working Capital Facility Agreement

Galileo has entered into an agreement with the Lender for a facility of
£600,000. The Facility is unsecured, interest free and can be drawn down in
three tranches as follows

·    £200,000 to be drawn down from 18 May 2026 or within 6 months of 18
May 2026 ("Loan Tranche 1");

·    £200,000 to be drawn down from 30 July 2026 or within 6 months of 30
July 2026 ("Loan Tranche 2"); and

·    £200,000 to be drawn down from 15 October 2026 or within 6 months of
15 October 2026 ("Loan Tranche 3").

 

On the drawdown of any Loan Tranche, the Lender shall be paid a  fee of 5% of
the amount of the relevant Loan Tranche which is to be settled in either cash
or the issue of Shares credited as fully paid at the Five Day VWAP on the date
of the relevant Loan Drawdown Notice, such Shares to be issued and admitted to
trading on AIM within 7 days of the date of the date of the relevant Loan
Drawdown Notice or on or before 30 September 2026.

 

The Company will provide a Loan drawdown notice if and when it requires a
drawdown. The Company has the option but not the obligation to drawdown on
part or all of the Facility. The Company must use the funds advanced under the
Facility to fund the working capital requirements of the Company and its
subsidiaries as determined by the Company at its sole discretion.

 

Repayment and Conversion

Repayment

Unless otherwise converted, the Company must repay each Loan Tranche on the
first anniversary (being 12 months) of the advance by the Lender of the
applicable Loan Tranche for each Tranche ("Maturity Date"). The Company may
repay the whole or part of the Facility on any day prior to the Maturity Date
for a Loan Tranche upon giving not less than 14 days' prior written notice to
the Lender and paying in cash a prepayment fee of 5% of the amount which the
Borrower prepays in cash before the Maturity Date. The Lender can during the
14 days' notice period make an election for all or part of the Loan subject to
a prepayment notice to be repaid in Shares at the Conversion Price in which
case the 5% fee shall not apply to that proportion of the Loan repaid in
Shares.

 

Conversion of Loan Tranche by Lender

The Lender may at any time during the Facility Period elect to convert all or
part of any drawn down amount into such number of new Galileo Ordinary Shares
of 0.1p each ("Shares") equal to the amount of the Loan Tranche that is to be
repaid at the date of the election, divided by the agreed and fixed conversion
price for the relevant Loan Tranche (the "Conversion Shares"). The conversion
prices applicable to each of the tranches ("Conversion Price") are fixed and
as follows:

 

·    1.00 pence per Share for Loan Tranche 1;

·    1.00 pence per Share for Loan Tranche 2; and

·    1.00 pence per Share for Loan Tranche 3.

 

The closing share price on 08 May 2026 the latest practicable date prior to
this announcement was 0.775 pence per Share.

 

Conversion of Loan by the Borrower

The Company may at any time during the Loan Period elect to convert all or
part of a Loan Tranche if the Share price exceeds 1.40 pence for a period of
five or more business days. The Borrower will inform the Lender prior to
selling any of the conversion shares in the Lender within 3 months of
conversion.

 

Interest and Fees

The Loan is interest free. The Lender shall be paid an initial arrangement fee
of 7% of the amount of the Facility to be settled by the issue of 5,419,355
new Shares ("Facility Fee Shares") credited as fully paid at an issue price of
0.775 pence per Share (being  the lower of the Five Day VWAP of 0.778p on the
date of signing the Facility and 0.775 pence per Share).

 

On the drawdown of any Loan Tranche the Lender shall be paid a further fee of
5% of the amount of the relevant Loan Tranche which is to be settled by the
issue of new Shares credited as fully paid at the five-day VWAP on the date of
the relevant Loan drawdown notice.

 

No short selling

The Lender has confirmed that neither the Lender nor its associates will short
sell the Company's Shares from the date of the Facility agreement until the
later of:

·    six months from Loan Tranche Three drawdown date; and

·    the repayment of the Loan.

 

Admission to AIM

Application will be made for the 5,419,355 Facility Fee Shares, which will
rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Shares, to be
admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). The Admission is expected to take
effect on or around 19 May 2026.

 

 

Total Voting Rights

On Admission of the New Shares, the Company will have 1,387,107,808 Ordinary
Shares in issue with voting rights. Galileo does not currently hold any shares
in treasury.  Accordingly, this figure of 1,387,107,808 Ordinary Shares 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
Financial Conduct Authority's  Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

 

Warrants

On the drawdown of any Loan Tranche, the Lender shall be issued three-year
warrants over Shares with a face value at the warrant exercise price equal to
50% of the amount drawn down under the Loan Tranche. The exercise price for
the warrants applicable to each of the tranches are as follows:

 

·    1.25 pence per share for the drawdown of Tranche 1;

·    1.25 pence per share for the drawdown of Tranche 2; and

·    1.25 pence per share for the drawdown of Tranche 3.
