Share Issue and Warrant Issue
 
General
The Directors and management of the Group are progressing the Joint Venture and Partnership discussions in respect of the Company's project in Crete (the "Project") referred to in recent announcements, whilst at the same time continuing to examine the ongoing cost base in order to keep it to a minimum practical level commensurate with achieving the optimum value of the Project for shareholders. The Board are also looking at ways to simplify the Group's structure, both in terms of capital and liabilities. The settlement of certain liabilities, as referred to below, forms part of that exercise.

The New Ordinary Shares are being allotted and issued under the authorities in place following Minoan's last Annual General Meeting held on 30 April 2018. Following Admission, there will be a total of 272,659,442 Ordinary Shares in issue. This 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, Minoan under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
