27 April 2026
Rome Resources plc
("Rome Resources" or the "Company")
Additional Subscription from existing non-UK Shareholders
Rome Resources plc (AIM: RMR), the DRC-focused tin and copper explorer,
announces that, further to its announcement on 20 April 2026 regarding the
conditional direct equity subscription of approximately £1.2 million (the
"Subscription"), certain existing non-UK shareholders of the Company contacted
Rome Resources requesting to participate in the financing on the same terms.
As such, the Company is pleased to announce that it has conditionally raised a
further £390,000, bringing total proceeds from the Subscription to
approximately £1.59 million, through the issue of 130,000,000 new ordinary
shares of 0.1 pence each (the "Additional Subscription Shares"). The
Additional Subscription Shares will be issued in certificated form and when
issued and fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing
Ordinary Shares in issue and therefore will rank equally for all dividends or
other distributions declared, made or paid after the issue of the Additional
Subscription Shares.
Admission and Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange Plc for the 130,000,000
new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is
expected that Admission will become effective on or around 5 May 2026. Upon
Admission, Rome Resources issued ordinary share capital will comprise
7,667,025,932 Ordinary Shares. Upon Admission, this number will represent the
total voting rights in the Company, and, following Admission may be used by
shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they can
determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to
their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Paul Barrett, Chief Executive Officer of Rome Resources, commented:
''We value the long-term support of these long-standing non-UK investors who
have been shareholders of Rome Resources since its TSX listing and prior to
the Company's migration to AIM.
Their decision to approach the Company after the initial Subscription and
request participation on the same terms is a strong vote of confidence in the
broader potential of our DRC projects following on from our most successful
drilling campaign at Kalayi to date."
