RNS Number : 8813P  Goldstone Resources Ltd  23 June 2022

23 June 2022

 

GOLDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED

("GoldStone" or the "Company")

 

Exercise of Warrants and Issue of Shares

Extension of Warrant Exercise Period

 

GoldStone Resources Limited (AIM: GRL) is pleased to announce an exercise of,
in aggregate, 14,000,000 warrants to subscribe for new ordinary shares of 1
penny each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 3
pence per Ordinary Share (the "Warrant Exercise"). The Warrant Exercise
provides £420,000 of additional funding to the Company.

 

The 14,000,000 new Ordinary Shares to be issued to pursuant to the Warrant
Exercise will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares and
application will be made for the new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading
on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and
dealings in the new Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on or around 28
June 2022.

 

Nguvu Holdings Limited (formerly known as BCM Investments Limited) ("Nguvu")
gave notice to the Company in late May 2022 of its intention to exercise
6,000,000 of the 12,000,000 warrants it held to subscribe for Ordinary Shares
at a price of 3 pence per Ordinary Share (the "Nguvu Warrants"), but Nguvu was
unable to provide a signed notice of exercise before the Company entered into
a close period pending publication of the annual report and accounts of the
Company for the year ended 31 December 2021.  As Angela List, a director of
the Company, is a director of and shareholder in Nguvu, the Nguvu Warrants,
which had an expiry date of 22 June 2022, could not be exercised during this
close period. Accordingly, the Board of the Company resolved to extend the
exercise period of the Nguvu Warrants by two weeks, to expire at midnight on 6
July 2022 (the "Warrant Extension").  If the Nguvu Warrants are exercised, in
whole or in part, during such extended period, a further announcement will be
made.  The remaining 6 million Warrants held by Nguvu expired at midnight on
22 June 2022.

 

Related Party Transaction

 

Nguvu holds 50,000,000 Ordinary Shares in the Company. Angela List is a
director of the Company and a director of and shareholder in Nguvu.
Accordingly, the Warrant Extension, as detailed above, constitutes a related
party transaction pursuant to Rule 13 of the AIM Rules. The Board of Goldstone
(excluding Mrs Angela List) considers, having consulted with the Company's
nominated adviser, Strand Hanson Limited, that the terms and conditions of the
Warrant Extension are fair and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of the
Company are concerned.

 

 

Total Voting Rights

 

Upon Admission, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will consist of
473,033,996 Ordinary Shares with one voting right each. The Company does not
hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary
Shares and voting rights in the Company will be 473,033,996. With effect from
Admission, 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 in, the
share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules.
