Share issue - Consultants & Director

 

Director/PDMR Shareholding

 

GCM Resources plc, an AIM quoted mining and energy company, announces the
issuance of new ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the capital of the Company
("Ordinary Shares") as payment of consulting fees in accordance with the
consultancy agreement announced on 26 October 2018 and extended on 29 June
2020, with Dyani Corporation Limited ("Dyani") (the "Dyani Agreement"), and in
accordance with the consultancy agreement announced on 22 August 2022, with DG
Infratech Pte Ltd ("DG") (the "DG Agreement") (together, the "Agreements").

 

The Agreements provide that new Ordinary Shares would be awarded to Dyani and
DG, and thus the following monthly consulting fees will be settled via the
issuance of new Ordinary Shares:

·      in lieu of Dyani's retainer fee for the period from 1 April 2022
to 30 June 2022 of £75,000, the Company will issue 535,714 new Ordinary
Shares to Dyani;

·      in lieu of DG's retainer fee for the period from 1 January 2022
to 31 December 2022 of £180,000, the Company will issue 4,363,636 new
Ordinary Shares to DG.

 

GCM confirms that following the issue of new Ordinary Shares, Dyani will be
interested in 15.20% of the Company's enlarged issued ordinary share capital.

 

Under the terms of the Dyani & DG Agreements, there are no restrictions on
disposal of the shares issued in respect of the retainer fees issued to either
Dyani or DG, which are intended to cover the respective consultants' costs in
performing their services.

 

Director Shares

GCM also announces the issue of a total of 317,460 new ordinary shares of
£0.01 each in the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") to Keith Fulton, for
payment of his services as Executive Director of the Company for the period 1
January 2022 to 31 December 2022 of £10,000, as part of his director
remuneration agreement from June 2019.

 

On Admission, Keith Fulton will have an interest in 1,023,343 Shares,
representing approximately 0.55 per cent. of the issued share capital of the
Company, as enlarged by the Fee Shares. The FCA notification, made in
accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation, is
appended below.

 

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for, in aggregate,
5,216,810 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to AIM ("Admission"). It is
expected that Admission will become effective on 5 April 2023.  Following
Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise
187,522,036 Ordinary Shares with voting rights in the Company. As the Company
holds no shares in treasury, this is the total number of the voting rights in
the Company which may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the
calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their
interest, or a change in the interest, in the share capital of the Company
under Chapter 5 of the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules as
reflected in the Company's articles of incorporation.
