Total Voting Rights & Directors' Holdings Update
Lekoil (AIM: LEK), the oil and gas exploration and development company with a focus on Nigeria and West Africa, announces that, further to the passing of all the resolutions at yesterday's EGM, Lekoil's issued share capital now consists of 329,906,233 ordinary shares of US$0.00005 each.
Each of these ordinary shares carries one voting right. The number of voting rights is therefore 329,906,233. This figure should be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Lekoil under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
The Company would also like to take this opportunity to update the market on the shareholdings of the Directors in Lekoil which, despite there being no share acquisitions or disposals by any Director, have been diluted since the Company's admission to AIM in May 2013 as a result of the Company's two successfully completed placings.
The number of shares currently held and the percentage holding, as well as the respective option holding, for each Director is set out below:
