ADMISSION TO TRADING ON THE MAIN MARKET

Further to the announcement on 21 October, Pan African is pleased to announce that the Company’s ordinary shares (“

Ordinary Shares

”) are expected to be admitted to the ESCC category of the Official List maintained by the Financial Conduct Authority ("

FCA

") and to trading on London Stock Exchange plc's (“

LSE

”) main market for listed securities (together, "

Admission

") at 8:00am today and simultaneously cancelled from trading on AIM, a market operated by the LSE.

The Company is not offering any new Ordinary Shares nor any other securities in connection with the proposed Admission. Following Admission, the Ordinary Shares will continue to be registered with their existing ISIN of GB0004300496 and the Company's ticker symbol will continue to be PAF.

At Admission, the Company will have 2,333,671,528 Ordinary Shares of £0.01 each in issue, all of which were fully paid or credited as fully paid and each of which carries the right to one vote. The total voting rights in the Company are therefore 2,333,671,528. 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, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. For the purposes of calculating Earnings per share and Headline earnings per share only, the number of shares outstanding will be treated as 2,027,313,470, which excludes the 306,358,058 Ordinary Shares held by PAR Gold given these shares are treated as treasury shares for accounting purposes.

Pan African shareholders should consult their own professional advisors regarding the consequences of Admission on their personal tax position.
