Results of Broker Option
Trifast is pleased to announce the successful completion of the broker option announced on 19 June 2020 by the Company (the "Broker Option").
Peel Hunt LLP ("Peel Hunt") has exercised the Broker Option in full and placed a total of 830,000 new ordinary shares of five pence each in the share capital of the Company (the "Broker Option Shares"), representing approximately 0.7% of the issued share capital of the Company prior to the Placing and Broker Option at a price of 120.5 pence per Broker Option Share, raising gross proceeds of approximately £1m.
Applications have been made for admission of the Broker Option Shares to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") and to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange (together "Admission"). It is expected that Admission will take place at 8.00 a.m. on 25 June 2020 at which time dealings in the Broker Option Shares will commence.
The Broker Option Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of five pence each in the share capital of the Company, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue of the Broker Option Shares.
Total voting rights
Following Admission becoming effective, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 135,929,041 ordinary shares with voting rights. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 135,929,041. 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 Company under the disclosure guidance issued by the FCA and the transparency rules made by the FCA under section 89A(1) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended ("FSMA") (together, the "Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules").
