PUBLICATION OF PROSPECTUS
Pan African is pleased to announce the publication of a prospectus ("
Prospectus ") in relation to the proposed
admission of its ordinary shares (" Ordinary Shares
") to the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) (“
ESCC ”) category of the Official List of the
Financial Conduct Authority (“ FCA ")
and to trading on London Stock Exchange plc’s main market for listed
securities (" Main Market ") (together,
" Admission ").
It is expected that: (i) the Ordinary Shares will be admitted to the ESCC
category of the Official List and to trading on the Main Market at 8:00am on
24 October 2025; and (ii) trading in the Ordinary Shares on AIM will be
cancelled by 8:00am on 24 October 2025. The last day of trading of the
Ordinary Shares on AIM is therefore expected to be 23 October 2025.
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 on the
Main Market. For the avoidance of doubt, the Admission will have no impact on
the Company’s listing on the JSE. Accordingly, following Admission, the
Company will be dual primary listed on the Main Market and the main board of
the JSE.
The Company's shareholders should consult their own professional advisors
regarding the consequences of Admission on their personal tax position.
The Prospectus has been approved by the FCA and will shortly be available to
view on Pan African’s website at
https://www.panafricanresources.com/investors/main-market-listing-lse/
. A copy of the Prospectus will be submitted to the
National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
