Kazera Global plc

 

("Kazera" or the "Company") 

 

Launch of Accelerated Bookbuild and Subscription

 

 

Further to the Company's announcement on 3 September 2026, Kazera Global plc (AIM: KZG), announces a proposed Placing (the "Placing") and Subscription (the "Subscription") (together the "Fundraising") to raise gross proceeds of approximately £500,000, through the issue of c.25,000,000 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (the "New Ordinary Shares") at a price of 2 pence per New Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price").

 

The Placing will be conducted by way of an accelerated book build (the "Bookbuild") which will be launched immediately following this announcement. The Fundraising is conditional upon, amongst other things, the passing of the resolutions at the General Meeting of the Company convened for 10.00 a.m. on 21 September 2026.

 

Summary

·      The Company intends to raise approximately £500,000 pursuant to the Placing and Subscription (further details outlined below)

 

·      The net proceeds from the Fundraising are intended to further strengthen the Company's balance sheet and provide a dedicated pool of investment capital, giving the Company additional flexibility both to support its existing investments where appropriate and to pursue value-accretive opportunities in the critical minerals and wider resources and energy sectors.

 

·    The Fundraising follows the grant of the Mining Right over Sea Concession 2A and the recently announced settlement with Fujax, which the Board believes have materially strengthened the Company's position.

 

·    In addition to the Fundraising, Geoffrey Eyre, a Director and Non-Executive Chairman of the Company, has indicated his intention to satisfy accrued fees by the issue of new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price, while an aggregate of £62,000 owed to a supplier and a consultant is intended to also be satisfied through the issue of new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price.

 

 

·    The Existing Ordinary Shares remain temporarily suspended from trading on AIM during the Capital Access Window. The Company expects to announce the outcome of the Fundraising as soon as practicable following completion of the Bookbuild, after which trading in the Existing Ordinary Shares is expected to resume.

 

·     The Issue Price is 2 pence per Ordinary Share, which represents a premium of approximately 2.6 per cent. to the closing mid-market price of 1.95 pence per Ordinary Share on 2 September 2026, being the last trading day prior to the commencement of the Capital Access Window.

 

·      Completion of the Fundraising is expected to take place on or around 22 September 2026, subject to, and following, the passing of the Resolutions at the General Meeting.

 

 

The Fundraising

 

The Fundraising will comprise:

 

·   a placing to raise gross proceeds of approximately £250,000 (the "Placing") through the issue of c.12,500,000 new Ordinary Shares (the "Placing Shares") at the Issue Price; and

·      a subscription to raise gross proceeds of approximately £250,000 (the "Subscription") through the issue of c.12,500,000 new Ordinary Shares (the "Subscription Shares").

 

The Company has also received an indication of interest from a potential investor in relation to a further direct subscription of approximately £220,000 at the Issue Price. The potential subscription may not be concluded prior to the close of the Bookbuild and, accordingly, the Company may accept such subscription following the close of the Bookbuild and prior to Admission. No binding commitment has yet been entered into and there can be no certainty that the potential subscription will proceed. If concluded, the additional subscription will form part of the Fundraising and a further announcement will be made.

 

As set out above, the issuance of the Placing Shares and Subscription Shares will be conditional (amongst other things) on the passing of the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting of the Company to be held on 21 September 2026 (or any adjournment thereof) which will renew the Company's authority to disapply statutory pre-emption rights and issue shares on a non-pre-emptive basis for cash.

 

Zeus is acting as sole broker in connection with the Placing. The Placing will be conducted by way of an accelerated bookbuild, which will be launched immediately following this Announcement, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in Appendix III to this Announcement. A further announcement confirming the closing of the Bookbuild, the number of New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing and Subscription, the conclusion of the Capital Access Window and the expected timing for the resumption of trading in the Existing Ordinary Shares will be made in due course.

 

The Placing is conditional upon (amongst other things) the Placing Agreement not having been terminated prior to Admission. The Placing is not conditional on a minimum amount being raised.

 

The timing for the close of the accelerated bookbuild and allocation of the Placing Shares shall be at the absolute discretion of Zeus, in consultation with the Company. The final number of Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing will be agreed by Zeus and the Company at the close of the accelerated bookbuild. The result of the Placing will be announced as soon as practicable thereafter. The Placing is not underwritten.

 

The expected timetable of principal events is set out in Appendix I to this Announcement.

 

Further information on the Fundraising is set out below. This Announcement should be read in its entirety.

 

Persons who have chosen to participate in the Placing, by making an oral or written offer to acquire Placing Shares, will be deemed to have read and understood this Announcement in its entirety (including the Appendices) and to be making such offer on the terms and subject to the conditions herein, and to be providing the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgements and undertakings contained in Appendix III.

Additional Information

1.         Introduction

The Company announces that it is seeking to raise gross proceeds of approximately £500,000  by way of the Fundraising, comprising the Placing and the Subscription. The net proceeds of the Fundraising will further strengthen the Company's balance sheet and provide a dedicated pool of investment capital, giving the Company additional flexibility both to support the development of its existing investments where appropriate and to pursue value-accretive new investment opportunities in accordance with its investing policy.

 

The Company will require share authorities to issue and allot the New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Fundraising. Accordingly, the Placing and Subscription are each conditional, inter alia, upon Shareholders approving the Resolutions at the General Meeting, to be convened on 21 September 2026.

Admission of the New Ordinary Shares is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on 22 September 2026 (or such later time and/or date as Zeus and the Company may agree, not being later than 30 October 2026). The Placing Shares and Subscription Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares and will rank in full for all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on the Ordinary Shares after Admission.

2.         Background to, and reasons for, the Fundraising

 

Kazera Global plc is an AIM-quoted investment company which seeks to achieve shareholder returns primarily through capital appreciation from the purchase and sale of securities and direct investments in companies and projects in Africa, within the mining and resource sectors. The Company's current operating portfolio comprises Deep Blue Minerals (Pty) Ltd, an alluvial diamond operation at Alexander Bay in the Northern Cape, South Africa, and Whale Head Minerals (Pty) Ltd, a heavy mineral sands operation in the same area producing garnet, ilmenite, zircon and rutile.

 

In July 2026 the Company entered into a long-term strategic partnership with South Africa AT Investments ("SAI") for the development of WHM's heavy mineral sands interests. Under the arrangement, SAI is responsible for funding and executing mining operations, including all capital and operating costs, with WHM retaining a 20 per cent. cost free entitlement to production. WHM received an initial US$750,000 advance against future sales from SAI in July 2026 and, following the grant of the Mining Right over Sea Concession 2A announced on 2 September 2026, a further US$1.75 million will become payable following formal execution of the Mining Right. Commercial production from 2A is targeted for Q1 2027, ramping to an anticipated minimum of 10,000 tonnes per month of concentrate by Q2 2027, with a progressive ramp-up to 30,000 tonnes of concentrate per month.

 

The grant of the 2A Mining Right represents a significant milestone for the Company and provides the platform for the phased development of 2A with SAI. The independent Technical Report published on 24 August 2026 confirmed an Inferred Mineral Resource containing approximately 1.31 million tonnes of economic heavy minerals within an Evaluation Area representing just 1.42 per cent. of the 2A licence area, with an indicative gross in-situ value of approximately US$369.3 million. The remaining 98.58 per cent. of 2A has been identified as a substantial Geological Target which, on the conservative basis set out in the Technical Report, is estimated to contain an additional 265.2 million tonnes of HMS, with grades yet to be determined.

 

On 3 September 2026, the Company announced that, without any admission of liability, it had agreed terms for the full and final settlement of amounts claimed by Fujax South Africa (Pty) Ltd ("Fujax") under historic prepayment arrangements with WHM. The US$1.0 million settlement comprises US$500,000 to be satisfied through the issue of new Ordinary Shares and US$500,000 payable in cash by way of instalments through to 1 March 2027. The Board considers the settlement to represent a positive resolution of a historic liability, materially reducing the associated cash burden on the Company while simplifying the contractual arrangements surrounding WHM as it moves into the next stage of its development following the grant of the 2A Mining Right and its commercial arrangement with SAI.

 

Separately, following the arbitration award made in the Company's favour in May 2025 in relation to the disposal of African Tantalum (Pty) Ltd ("Aftan"), the Company has agreed settlement arrangements with Hebei Xinjian Construction CC. Under those arrangements, up to US$10.5 million is payable to the Company, with provision for the settlement to be satisfied in full upon receipt of US$9.0 million by 31 December 2026. As announced on 24 July 2026, the Board intends, subject to legal, tax, working capital and regulatory considerations, to return approximately 80 per cent. of the net cash proceeds of that settlement to qualifying Shareholders under the proposed Aftan Shareholder Return Programme.

 

Against this backdrop, the Board believes Kazera is entering a materially strengthened phase of its development.

 

The Company's existing cash resources are sufficient for its present requirements. However, as an investing company, the Board believes that maintaining a strong corporate cash position provides an important strategic advantage, enabling Kazera both to support the development of its existing investments where appropriate and to act quickly when attractive new investment opportunities arise.

 

The net proceeds of the Fundraising are therefore intended to further strengthen the Company's balance sheet and create a dedicated pool of investment capital for deployment across the Company's interests and into value-accretive new opportunities in accordance with its investing policy. The Directors believe that having capital available at the point of negotiation should enhance the Company's ability to secure such opportunities on attractive terms.

 

3.         Details of the Fundraising

 

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in respect of the Fundraising including, inter alia, the passing of the Resolutions, the Company intends to issue up to c.25,000,000 New Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price to raise gross proceeds of £500,000, before expenses.

 

The Issue Price represents a premium of approximately 2.6 per cent. to the closing mid-market price of 1.95 pence per Ordinary Share on 2 September 2026, being the last trading day prior to the commencement of the Capital Access Window.

Details of the Placing

 

The Placing comprises the placing of approximately c.12,500,000 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price. The Placing will raise approximately £500,000 before expenses. The Placing is conditional, inter alia, upon Shareholders approving the Resolutions at the General Meeting, compliance by the Company in all material respects with its obligations under the Placing Agreement and the occurrence of Admission.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Placing Agreement, Zeus, as agent for the Company, has agreed to use its reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers for the Placing Shares at the Issue Price. The Placing is not underwritten and is not conditional on a minimum amount being raised.

 

The Placing Agreement contains warranties from the Company in favour of Zeus in relation to, inter alia, the accuracy of the information in this document and other matters relating to the Group and its business.  In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify Zeus in relation to certain liabilities it may incur in respect of the Placing. Zeus has the right to terminate the Placing Agreement in certain circumstances prior to Admission, including, in the event that any of the warranties given by the Company to Zeus in the Placing Agreement become untrue, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect, the material breach by the Company of  its obligations under the Placing Agreement, the occurrence of a material adverse change affecting the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings or business affairs or prospects of the Group as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business.

Details of the Subscription

The Subscription comprises the issue of approximately c.12,500,000 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price. The Subscription is conditional, inter alia, upon Shareholders approving the Resolutions at the General Meeting, on the close of the Placing, Admission occurring and the Placing Agreement not being terminated prior to Admission.

The Subscription Shares will be subscribed for on the basis agreed pursuant to subscription agreements between the Company and the relevant subscribers, rather than pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Placing contained in the Appendix III to this Announcement.

Other Share Issuances

In addition to the Fundraising, Geoff Eyre, a Director and Non-Executive Chairman of the Company, has indicated his intention to satisfy £26,083.33 of accrued but unpaid fees by the issue of new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price (the "Fee Shares"). The final amount to be satisfied and the resulting number of Fee Shares will be confirmed in the announcement of the results of the Fundraising.

One supplier and one consultant to the Company have also indicated they will accept satisfaction of an aggregate of £62,000 owed to them by the Company through the issue of 3,100,000 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price (the "Creditor Shares").

Subject to these arrangements being finalised, the issue of the Fee Shares and Creditor Shares will be conditional upon, inter alia, the passing of the Resolutions at the General Meeting and Admission. Neither the Fee Shares nor the Creditor Shares will generate cash proceeds for the Company and will not form part of the gross proceeds of the Fundraising.

Settlement and dealings

The New Ordinary Shares will be issued free of all liens, charges and encumbrances and will, when issued and fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's Existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of their issue.

 

Application(s) will be made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the Placing Shares and Subscription Shares to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission of the New Ordinary Shares will take place at 8.00 a.m. on or around 22 September 2026 and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares on AIM will commence at the same time.

 

It is expected that CREST accounts will be credited with entitlements to the New Ordinary Shares as soon as practicable after 8.00 a.m. on the day of Admission and that share certificates (where applicable) will be despatched as soon as practicable after, and in any event within 14 days of, Admission.

The New Ordinary Shares, assuming completion of the Placing and the Subscription, represent approximately 2 per cent. of the Existing Ordinary Shares, and approximately 2 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital.

Use of proceeds

 

The net cash proceeds of the Fundraising are expected to be approximately £480,000.

 

The net proceeds will be used to further strengthen the Company's balance sheet and provide a dedicated pool of investment capital, giving the Company additional flexibility both to support its existing investments where appropriate and to pursue value-accretive opportunities in the critical minerals and wider resources and energy sectors.

EEA product governance

 

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (each of which form part of UK law by virtue of EUWA) (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of: (a) retail investors, (b) investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and (c) eligible counterparties (each as defined in MiFID II); and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the " EU Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the EU Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The EU Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the offer.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the EU Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Placing Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

 

UK product governance

 

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within of Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Production Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such securities are: (i) compatible with an end target market of investors who meet the criteria of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in paragraph 3 of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors (for the purposes of UK Product Governance Requirements) should note that: (a) the price of the Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; (b) the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and (c) an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Zeus will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Placing Shares.

 

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

 

Persons (including, without limitation, nominees and trustees) who have a contractual or other legal obligation to forward a copy of this Appendix or the Announcement of which it forms part should seek appropriate advice before taking any action.

 

These terms and conditions apply to persons making an offer to acquire Placing Shares. Each Placee hereby agrees with Zeus and the Company to be bound by these terms and conditions as being the terms and conditions upon which Placing Shares will be issued or acquired. A Placee shall, without limitation, become so bound if Zeus confirms to such Placee its allocation of Placing Shares.

 

Upon being notified of its allocation of Placing Shares, a Placee shall be contractually committed to acquire the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Issue Price and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will be deemed to have agreed not to exercise any rights to rescind or terminate or otherwise withdraw from such commitment.

 

In this Appendix, unless the context otherwise requires, "Placee" means a Relevant Person (including individuals, funds or others) on whose behalf a commitment to subscribe for or acquire Placing Shares has been given.

 

Details of the Placing Agreement and the Placing Shares

 

Zeus and the Company have entered into a Placing Agreement, under which Zeus has, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out therein, undertaken to use their reasonable endeavours to procure Placees for the Placing Shares. The Placing is not being underwritten by Zeus or any other person.

 

The number of Placing Shares will be determined following completion of the Bookbuild as set out in this Announcement. The timing of the closing of the Bookbuild, the number of Placing Shares and allocations are at the discretion of Zeus in consultation with the Company and a further announcement confirming these details will be made in due course.

 

The Placing Shares will, when issued, be subject to the Articles, will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions (if any) declared, made or paid on or in respect of Ordinary Shares after the date of issue of the Placing Shares.

 

The New Ordinary Shares will trade on AIM under KZG with ISIN GB00B830HW33.

 

Application for admission to trading

 

Application will be made to London Stock Exchange for admission to trading of the Placing Shares on AIM.

 

It is expected that Admission of the Placing Shares will take place on or before 22 September 2026 and that dealings in the Placing Shares on AIM will commence at the same time.

6. Each Placee's allocation will be confirmed to Placees orally, or by email, by Zeus following the close of the Bookbuild and a trade confirmation or contract note will be dispatched as soon as possible thereafter. Zeus's oral or emailed confirmation will give rise to an irrevocable, legally binding commitment by that person (who at that point becomes a Placee), in favour of Zeus and the Company, under which it agrees to acquire by subscription or purchase the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Issue Price and otherwise on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Appendix and in accordance with the Company's articles of association. Except with Zeus's consent, such commitment will not be capable of variation or revocation.

16. The times and dates in this Announcement may be subject to amendment. Zeus shall notify the Placees and any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any such changes.

 

Conditions of the Placing

 

The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms.

 

The Bookrunner's obligations under the Placing Agreement in respect of the Placing Shares are conditional on, inter alia:

1.    the delivery by the Company to the Bookrunner of certain documents required under the Placing Agreement;

2.    the Company having performed its obligations under the Placing Agreement to the extent that such obligations fall to be performed prior to Admission;

3.    the Resolutions having been duly passed without amendment at the General Meeting;

4.    the issue and allotment of the New Ordinary Shares, conditional only upon Admission;

5.    Admission occurring by no later than 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 22 September 2026 or such other date and time as may be agreed between the Company and the Bookrunner, not being later than 8.00 am (London time) on 30 October 2026 (the "Long Stop Date"); and

6.    the Placing Agreement not having been terminated by the Bookrunner in accordance with its terms.

If: (i) any of the conditions contained in the Placing Agreement, including those described above, are not fulfilled or (where applicable) waived by the Bookrunner by the respective time or date where specified (or such later time or date as the Bookrunner may notify to the Company, being not later than the Long Stop Date); (ii) any of such conditions becomes incapable of being fulfilled; or (iii) the Placing Agreement is terminated in the circumstances specified below, the Placing will not proceed and the Placees' rights and obligations hereunder in relation to the Placing Shares shall cease and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim can be made by the Placee in respect thereof.

 

The Bookrunner may, at its discretion and upon such terms as it thinks fit, waive, or extend the period for (subject to the Long Stop Date), compliance by the Company with the whole or any part of any of the Company's obligations in relation to the conditions in the Placing Agreement save that the condition relating to Admission taking place may not be waived. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this Announcement.

 

Neither the Bookrunner, the Company nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision they may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any condition to the Placing nor for any decision they may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally and, by participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of the Bookrunner.

 

Right to terminate the Placing Agreement

 

The Bookrunner is entitled, at any time before Admission, to terminate the Placing Agreement by giving notice to the Company in certain circumstances, including, inter alia, if before Admission:

2.    any of the warranties given in the Placing Agreement is or becomes untrue or inaccurate or misleading;

3.    there occurs or arises prior to Admission any significant change or new material matter which the Bookrunner determines should be notified to Placees or Shareholders;

4.    an event of force majeure occurs which, in the good faith opinion of the Bookrunner, would prevent any party from performing its obligations under the Placing Agreement;

5.         the Bookrunner becomes aware there has been, or is reasonably likely to occur, any material adverse change in any national or international political, military, diplomatic, economic, financial or market conditions (including disruption to trading on any relevant stock exchange) or currency exchange rates or exchange controls or any statutory or regulatory matter which would have or be likely to have a material and adverse effect on the Placing or Admission or otherwise render the Placing or Admission temporarily or permanently impracticable or inadvisable; or

 

The rights and obligations of the Placees will not be subject to termination by the Placees or any prospective Placees at any time or in any circumstances. By participating in the Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by the Bookrunner of any right of termination or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the Bookrunner and that the Bookrunner need not make any reference to Placees in this regard and that neither the Bookrunner nor any of its respective affiliates shall have any liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise or failure so to exercise.

 

 

No Admission Document or Prospectus

 

The Placing Shares are being offered to a limited number of specifically invited persons only and have not been nor will be offered in such a way as to require the publication of an admission document or prospectus in the United Kingdom or in any other jurisdiction. No offering document, admission document or prospectus has been or will be submitted to be approved by the FCA in relation to the Placing, and Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in the Announcement (including this Appendix),the business and financial information that the Company is required to publish in accordance with the AIM Rules and the Market Abuse Regulation and any information announced through a Regulatory Information Service by or on behalf of the Company on or prior to the date of this Announcement (the "Exchange Information").

 

Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the Placing, agrees that the content of this Announcement is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms that it has neither received nor relied on any other information (other than the Exchange Information), representation, warranty, or statement made by or on behalf of the Company, or Zeus or any other person and neither Zeus, the Company nor any other person will be liable for any Placee's decision to participate in the Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement which the Placees may have obtained or received and, if given or made, such information, representation, warranty or statement must not be relied upon as having been authorised by Zeus, the Company, or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents. Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in accepting a participation in the Placing.

 

Neither the Company nor Zeus are making any undertaking or warranty to any Placee regarding the legality of an investment in the Placing Shares by such Placee under any legal, investment or similar laws or regulations. Each Placee should not consider any information in this Announcement to be legal, tax or business advice. Each Placee should consult its own solicitor, tax adviser and financial adviser for independent legal, tax and financial advice regarding an investment in the Placing Shares. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

Registration and Settlement

 

Following the close of the Bookbuild, each Placee allocated Placing Shares in the Placing will be sent a trade confirmation or contract note in accordance with the standing arrangements in place with Zeus, stating the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Issue Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee (in GBP) and a form of confirmation in relation to settlement instructions.

 

Each Placee will be deemed to agree that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed as directed by Zeus in accordance with the standing CREST settlement instructions which they have in place with Zeus.

 

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: GB00B830HW33) following Admission, will take place within the system administered by Euroclear UK & International Limited ("CREST") provided that, subject to certain exceptions, Zeus reserve the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing Shares (or a portion thereof) to Placees by such other means that it deems necessary if delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within CREST within the timetable set out in this Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in any Placee's jurisdiction.

 

It is expected that settlement will be on the date of Admission in accordance with the instructions set out in the form of confirmation.

 

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two percentage points above SONIA.

 

Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these obligations, Zeus may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for Zeus's account and benefit (as agents for the Company), an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable and shall indemnify Zeus on demand for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, each Placee confers on Zeus such authorities and powers necessary to carry out any such sale and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which Zeus lawfully takes in pursuance of such sale.

 

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees should ensure that the form of confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation.

 

Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax.  Neither Zeus nor the Company will be liable in any circumstances for the payment of stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax in connection with any of the Placing Shares. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

The Company, Zeus and their respective affiliates will rely upon the truth and accuracy of each of the foregoing representations, warranties, acknowledgements and undertakings which are given to Zeus for themselves and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable.

 

The provisions of this Appendix may be waived, varied or modified as regards specific Placees or on a general basis by Zeus.

 

The agreement to settle a Placee's subscription (and/or the subscription of a person for whom such Placee is contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax depends on the settlement relating only to a subscription by it and/or such person direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. Such agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not being subscribed for in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there are any such arrangements, or the settlement relates to any other subsequent dealing in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable, for which neither the Company nor Zeus will be responsible, and the Placee to whom (or on behalf of whom, or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares has given rise to such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax undertakes to pay such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold harmless the Company and Zeus in the event that any of the Company and/or Zeus has incurred any such liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and notify Zeus accordingly.

 

In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the UK by them or any other person on the subscription or purchase by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to subscribe for or purchase any Placing Shares.

 

All times and dates in this Announcement (including this Appendix) may be subject to amendment. Zeus shall notify the Placees and any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any changes.

 

This Announcement has been issued by, and is the sole responsibility, of the Company. No representation or warranty express or implied, is or will be made as to, or in relation to, and no responsibility or liability is or will be accepted by Zeus or by any of its respective affiliates or agents as to or in relation to, the accuracy or completeness of this Announcement or any other written or oral information made available to or publicly available to any interested party or its advisers, and any liability therefore is expressly disclaimed.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of each Placee acknowledges and agrees that Zeus and/or any of its affiliates may, at their absolute discretion, agree to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing Shares. Each Placee acknowledges and is aware that Zeus is receiving a fee in connection with its role in respect of the Placing as detailed in the Placing Agreement.

When a Placee or person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with Zeus, any money held in an account with Zeus on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the FCA made under the FSMA. The Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from Zeus's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by Zeus in the course of its own business; and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of Zeus.

The price of shares and any income expected from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested upon disposal of the shares.

Past performance is no guide to future performance and persons needing advice should consult an independent financial adviser.

The rights and remedies of Zeus and the Company under the terms and conditions set out in this Appendix are in addition to any rights and remedies which would otherwise be available to each of them and the exercise or partial exercise of one will not prevent the exercise of others.

Time is of the essence as regards each Placee's obligations under this Appendix.

Any document that is to be sent to it in connection with the Placing will be sent at its risk and may be sent to it at any address provided by it to Zeus.

Each Placee may be asked to disclose, in writing or orally to Zeus: (a) if they are an individual, their nationality; or (b) if they are a discretionary fund manager, the jurisdiction in which the funds are managed or owned.
