Exercise of Options and Warrants

 

Argo, the leading cryptocurrency miner based in the UK (LSE: ARB), announces that over the past several days it has received a notice of exercise of certain options ("Options") and notice of exercise of certain warrants ("Warrants") over ordinary shares of £0.001 each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). These exercise notices relate to Options and Warrants granted in connection with the Company's admission to the Official List and to trading on the Main Market.

As a result of the exercise of the Warrant, the Company has issued in aggregate 217,217 new Ordinary Shares to the holder of the Warrants ("New Ordinary Shares"). The New Ordinary Shares were issued at the exercise price of £0.16 per share for 77,217 shares and £0.08 per share for 140,000 shares. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from this warrant exercise is £23,555.

 

As a result of the exercise of the Option, the Company has issued in aggregate 22,619 new Ordinary Shares to the holder of the Option ("New Ordinary Shares"). The New Ordinary Shares were issued at the exercise price of £0.07 per share. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from this option exercise is £1,583.

 

Application will be made for the new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the standard segment of the Official List and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. Admission is expected to occur at 8:00 a.m. on 12 February 2021. The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company.

 

Following Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue will be 359,344,958 and the total number of voting rights will therefore be 359,344,958.
