MAJOR SHAREHOLDING NOTIFICATION
Star Phoenix, an AIM listed company (AIM: STA) focused on growth through attractive opportunities, announces that one of the Company's shareholders Thesolia Ltd which previously held 23,561,326 ordinary shares (15.62% shareholding) has completed an off-market sale of all of its shares to another investor, Preceding Max Ltd (the "Investor"). As a result, the Investor will now hold 23,561,326 ordinary shares (15.62% shareholding). There will be no change to the capital structure of the Company following this change. The Investor is not a related party to the Company.
As previously announced, Thesolia Ltd could nominate up to two non-executive directors to the Board of the Company as part of their original subscription agreement. This right does not transfer to the Investor, and will therefore terminate.
Forms for notification of major holdings (TR-1) for both the Investor and Thesolia Ltd can be found at the end of this announcement.
