Phoenix Copper Ltd (the "Company") (AIM: PXC, OTCQX: PXCLY), the AIM-quoted USA-focused base and precious metals emerging producer and exploration company, refers to its announcement earlier today and is pleased to announce a retail offer via BookBuild (the "Retail Offer") of new ordinary shares of no par value each in the capital of the Company (the "Retail Offer Shares") up to the value of £200,000 at an issue price of 11.5 pence per Retail Offer Share (the "Issue Price").
In addition to the Retail Offer, the Company is also conducting a placing ("Placing") of new ordinary shares (the "Placing Shares") alongside a direct subscription (the "Subscription") of new ordinary shares (the "Subscription Shares" and together with the Placing Shares and Retail Offer Shares, the "New Ordinary Shares") at the Issue Price (the Placing, together with the Subscription and Retail Offer, being referred to as the "Fundraise").
A separate announcement has been made regarding the Placing and its terms and conditions as well as the Subscription, which sets out the reasons for the Fundraise. The proceeds of the Retail Offer will be utilised in the same way as the proceeds of the Placing and the Subscription. For the avoidance of doubt, the Retail Offer is not part of the Placing or the Subscription.
The Retail Offer is conditional on completion of the Placing and the Subscription, and the Retail Offer Shares being admitted to trading on the AIM market operated by the London Stock Exchange ("Admission"). Admission of the Retail Offer Shares is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on or around 6 February 2024. Completion of the Retail Offer is conditional upon the completion of the Placing but completion of the Placing is not conditional on the completion of the Retail Offer or the Subscription.
