PrimaryBid Offer
KEFI Gold and Copper plc (AIM: KEFI), the gold and copper exploration and development company with projects in the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is pleased to announce, an offer for subscription of new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") via PrimaryBid (the "PrimaryBid Offer") at an issue price of 0.6 pence per new Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price"), being a discount of approximately 24% to the closing mid-price of the Company's existing Ordinary Shares on 1 March 2024. The Company is also conducting a firm placing of new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price (the "Firm Placing") and a conditional issue of new Ordinary Shares to certain members of the Board and corporate advisers in lieu of cash fees (the "Conditional Remuneration Issue", and together with the PrimaryBid Offer and Firm Placing, the "Capital Raise") as announced earlier today.
The PrimaryBid Offer is conditional on the new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the PrimaryBid Offer and Firm Placing being admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). The PrimaryBid Offer is not conditional on approval of the Conditional Remuneration Issue by shareholders at the General Meeting to be held on or around 26 March 2024. Admission is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on 8 March 2024. The PrimaryBid Offer will not be completed without the Firm Placing also being completed.
The Company will use the gross proceeds of the Capital Raise for:
- completion of project financing and launch of the Company's Tulu Kapi Gold Project, which relate to legal and professional fees, preparations of the community, site and district security installation and administrative costs of satisfying the remaining conditions for the project finance package;
- the extinguishing of certain current liabilities and advances to strengthen the Company's balance sheet ahead of proposed project development; and
- general working capital purposes.
Reason for the PrimaryBid Offer
The Company values its retail investor base and is therefore pleased to provide retail investors and other interested investors with the opportunity to participate in the PrimaryBid Offer.
