Conversion of Loan Notes and TVR

 

Prospex Energy PLC, the AIM quoted investment company focused on European gas
and power projects, announces that it has received notices to convert an
aggregate of £225,377.72 in two convertible loan notes in exchange for the
issue of 5,303,006 new ordinary shares of 0.1p each in the Company ("Ordinary
Shares").

 

The abovementioned convertible loan notes were issued in July 2022 and are
convertible at 4.25p per share pursuant to a Convertible Loan Note Deed dated
18 July 2022.

 

Admission to Trading and Total Voting Rights

The Company has applied to the London Stock Exchange for the admission of
5,303,006 new Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM ('Admission') as a result of
the above conversion.  Admission is expected to occur on or around 8
September 2023.  On 6 September there will be 307,300,354 Ordinary Shares in
issue.  Following Admission of these 5,303,006 new shares there will be a
total of 312,603,360 Ordinary Shares in issue.  This will be the number of
Ordinary Shares that 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 and Transparency Rules.

 

Mark Routh, Prospex's CEO, commented:

"Of the £1.87 million 4.25p Convertible Loan Notes issued in July 2022, there
are just five of the original twenty-eight Loan Note holders who have not yet
converted their loans and interest into Prospex shares.  The first capital
repayment of one-third of the outstanding loans was due to be repaid on 30
September 2023.  The total remaining 4.25p Loan Notes now amount to less than
£300,000 which would convert into around 7 million shares unless the capital
is repaid.

 

"The conversion of these Loan Notes is very helpful for Prospex as it reduces
the outstanding debt in the Company and improves our cash position.  It is
also beneficial to our supportive Loan Note holders since their new shares are
now trading at more than a 50% premium to the conversion price of 4.25p per
share."
