Conditional on Admission, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will be 2,803,040,000 Ordinary Shares, which may be used by shareholders 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 FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Mandhir Singh, Chairman of Wildcat, commented: 

"The Company is delighted to have raised additional funds in difficult market conditions. These net proceeds of the over-subscribed placing will be used to strengthen the balance sheet and provide the Company with sufficient working capital whilst it works towards a production sharing agreement with the Sudanese government.
