Issue of Equity

 

 

Alba Mineral Resources plc (AIM:ALBA), the UK based minerals and oil exploration company, announces that it has issued 18,000,000 new ordinary shares at a price of 0.5 pence per ordinary share in settlement of fees for professional services.

 

Application has been made for the new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission").  It is expected that Admission will become effective and trading in the 18,000,000 new ordinary shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 11 May 2015.  The new ordinary shares will be issued credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing ordinary shares.  

 

Following Admission, the total number of ordinary shares in issue will be 720,547,002. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury.  Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights will be 720,547,002.  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 share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
