ISSUE OF EQUITY ON WARRANT EXERCISE
The Board of Avation PLC (LSE: AVAP), announces that on 28 November 2024, the Company allotted 3,692,262 fully paid new ordinary shares representing approximately 4.94 per cent of the enlarged capital of the Company pursuant to the exercise of 2020 and 2021 series staff share warrants at a price of 130 pence and 102 pence per share respectively. The exercise of these warrants provides the Company with £4,690,107 in proceeds which the Company will use for general corporate purposes.
In addition, the Company allotted a further 101,500 fully paid new ordinary shares representing approximately 0.14 per cent of the enlarged capital of the Company pursuant to the exercise of the Company's listed warrants (LSE: AVAW), which have an exercise price of 114.5 pence per share. Pursuant to the warrant instrument constituting the listed warrants there is an exercise mechanism which allows the Company to place shares in the market to settle the warrants being exercised. The Company therefore placed 67,738 ordinary shares providing proceeds of £101,943 which the Company will use for general corporate purposes.
The allotment of shares is conditional only on admission of the new shares to the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities becoming effective ("Admission").
Application will be made for the new ordinary shares to be listed on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the new ordinary shares will commence on or around 4 December 2024.
The new ordinary shares will, when issued, rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares including the right to receive dividends and other distributions declared Following Admission.
Following Admission, there will be a total of 74,671,886 ordinary shares in issue. Following Admission there will be 74,671,886 total voting rights for the purpose of calculating shareholders' percentage voting rights.
