Sylvania Platinum Limited

 ("Sylvania", the "Company" or the "Group")

 

 

Share Buyback

 

 

Sylvania (AIM: SLP), the platinum group metals ("PGM") producer and developer
with assets in South Africa, announces that it intends to conduct a Share
Buyback on-market to purchase Ordinary US$0.01 Shares ("Ordinary Shares") of
the Company's issued share capital, up to a maximum consideration of US$1.6
million.

 

The purpose of the Share Buyback is to reduce the share capital of the
Company. The Share Buyback will be carried out under the terms and authority
of the Company's Bye Laws and all Ordinary Shares purchased will be cancelled.

 

The Company has instructed Panmure Liberum Limited to execute the Share
Buyback, including its irrevocable appointment to purchase shares with
absolute discretion during any closed period.  The Share Buyback will be
funded from the Company's current cash balance.

 

Given the limited liquidity in the Ordinary Shares, the Company may not be
able to benefit from the exemption laid down in Article 5(1) of Regulation
(EU) No 596/2014, whereby the Company would not purchase shares at a price
higher than the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the
highest current independent purchase bid on the trading venue where the
purchase is carried out. Furthermore, a buyback of Ordinary Shares on any
trading day is likely to represent a significant proportion, or possibly all,
of the daily trading volume in the ordinary shares on the London Stock
Exchange (and is likely to exceed the 25% limit of the average daily trading
volume as laid down in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014).

 

There is no guarantee that the Share Buyback will be implemented in full or
that any repurchases will be made.

 

The Share Buyback will be effective from the date of this announcement and
will expire on 28 February 2025.

 

The Company will make further announcements in due course following any share
purchases.

 

The information contained within this announcement is deemed by the Company to
constitute inside information as stipulated under the Market Abuse regulation
(EU) no.596/2014 as amended by the Market Abuse (Amendment) (EU Exit)
Regulations 2019.

 

For the purposes of MAR and Article 2 of Commission Implementing Regulation
(EU) 2016/1055, this announcement is being made on behalf of the Company by
Jaco Prinsloo.
