Seascape Energy Asia plc
(the "Company", "Seascape Energy" or "Seascape")
Result of Oversubscribed WRAP Retail Offer
Seascape Energy (AIM: SEA), an E&P company focused on Southeast Asia, is
pleased to confirm, further to the announcements made on 24 and 25 March 2026,
the result of its Fundraise and Retail Offer at the Issue Price of 70 pence
per share. The Company announces that the Retail Offer was several times
oversubscribed, and it has raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately
£840 thousand pursuant to the WRAP Retail Offer, alongside the previously
announced Placing and Subscription. Accordingly, the Company will issue a
total of 1,200,000 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price pursuant to the WRAP
Retail Offer.
In total, the Placing and Subscription and the WRAP Retail Offer have raised
gross proceeds of approximately £5 million for the Company, via the Placing
and Subscription of 6,000,000 Placing and Subscription Shares and the
1,200,000 WRAP Retail Offer Shares.
Admission and Total Voting Rights
Applications have been made for the Placing and Subscription Shares and the
WRAP Retail Offer Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission").
Admission is expected to become effective on or around 30 March 2026.
Upon Admission, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will consist of
70,339,111 Ordinary Shares with one voting right each. The Company does not
hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, from Admission the total
number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights in the Company will be 70,339,111.
With effect from Admission, this figure may be used by Shareholders in the
Company 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.
The new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the WRAP Retail Offer will be
issued free of all liens, charges and encumbrances and will, on Admission,
rank pari passu in all respects with the new Ordinary Shares to be issued
pursuant to the Placing, the Subscription and the Company's existing Ordinary
Shares.
Terms used but not defined in this announcement have the same meaning as set
out in the Company's announcements dated 24 and 25 March 2026.
