, and 14 January 2026
(https://polaris.brighterir.com/public/kavango_resources_plc/news/rns/story/xz5yeex)
, the Company is pleased to confirm that 36,596,469 new Ordinary Shares (the
"New Ordinary Shares") are to be issued on or around 15 May 2026 to Comarton
Consultants (Private) Limited ATF ("Comarton") and six Pension Funds (the
"Funds") under the Comarton Managed Pension Funds Investments Consortium
("Consortium").
Comarton, the Consortium's agent and administrator, has signing authority on
behalf of the Consortium in accordance with the agreement dated 16 April 2025
(the "Agreement"). The New Ordinary Shares are to be issued to Comarton and
the Funds, at the issue price of £0.01 per Ordinary Share, and with the US
Dollar and British Pound conversion rate being the Bank of England daily
spot rate on 24 March 2026 (£1 = $1.3382).
This transaction, the third of five tranches in connection with the Agreement,
brings the total number of Consortium pension funds now invested in Kavango to
thirteen, who will, upon admission of the New Ordinary Shares, have a combined
holding of 179,977,379 Ordinary Shares, including the Comarton shares.
Tranches four and five should be drawn down on or before 31 August 2026.
Admission
Application will be made for the New Ordinary Shares to be first admitted to
trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and then immediately
transferred to Zimbabwe through a branch register control account, in order
for such Ordinary Shares to be secondary listed on the Victoria Falls Stock
Exchange ("VFEX") and directly traded in Zimbabwe.
Total Voting Rights
In accordance with DTR 5.6.1 of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure
Guidance and Transparency Rules (the "DTRs"), the total number of Ordinary
Shares in issue as at the date of admission of the new Ordinary Shares will be
4,402,636,126, of which 831,177,585 Ordinary Shares are secondary listed
on the VFEX, with each Ordinary Share carrying the right to one vote.
The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. Therefore, the number of
Ordinary Shares with voting rights will be 4,402,636,126. The above figure may
be used by shareholders 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 Company, under the DTRs.
