US$12 Million Financing Update
Range is pleased to confirm that, further to the previously announced US$12
million financing with Abraham Ltd (the Investor) (see announcement on 15 May
2014), the full Subscription proceeds of US$12 million have been received by
the Company.
As per the terms of the Subscription Agreement, the Investor will now be issued
with Ordinary Fully Paid Shares of the Company (Share or Shares) in two equal
tranches. In each tranche, the Shares will be subscribed at a price of £0.01
per share, representing a premium of approximately 49% to the mid market share
price at the close of business on AIM on 14 May 2014.
Based on the applicable exchange rate for the first tranche of US$6 million,
the Investor will subscribe for 356,188,780 Shares which will be issued on or
around 28 May 2014 and admission to trading on AIM is expected on or around 6
June 2014.
The second tranche of Shares is subject to shareholder approval. The US$6
million will be repayable to the Investor if Range shareholder approval is not
obtained within 60 days of the date of signing the Subscription Agreement for
the issue of the second tranche of shares and for the warrants (as set out on
the announcement on 15 May 2014). The Company will provide details of the
upcoming General Meeting via a separate announcement.
Upon completion of the two tranche Subscription, and subject to shareholder
approval, the Investor is expected to hold approximately 15% of the enlarged
share capital of the Company.
The funds will be used to repay existing debt and for general working capital
of the Company. Further details on debt repayment will be provided in due
course.
Terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings given to them in
the announcement on 15 May 2014.
Clarification to the announcement released on 27 May 2014
The Company notes an administrative error in the announcement released on 27
May 2014 `Issue of Shares'. The conversion price of 67,666,667 Ordinary Fully
Paid Shares pursuant to the conversion of debt is $0.01 per share and not
$0.001 per share as previously stated.
Yours faithfully
