Additional Subscription
Rome Resources plc has conditionally raised an additional £390,000 from existing non-UK shareholders, bringing the total proceeds from its equity subscription to approximately £1.59 million. This further funding was achieved through the issue of 130,000,000 new ordinary shares at 0.1 pence each, which will rank pari passu with existing shares. Application has been made for these new shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, expected around May 5, 2026, at which point the Company's total issued ordinary share capital will be 7,667,025,932 shares.

Rome Resources plc (AIM: RMR), the DRC-focused tin and copper explorer, announces that, further to its announcement on 20 April 2026 regarding the conditional direct equity subscription of approximately £1.2 million (the "Subscription"), certain existing non-UK shareholders of the Company contacted Rome Resources requesting to participate in the financing on the same terms.
As such, the Company is pleased to announce that it has conditionally raised a further £390,000, bringing total proceeds from the Subscription to approximately £1.59 million, through the issue of 130,000,000 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each (the "Additional Subscription Shares"). The Additional Subscription Shares will be issued in certificated form and when issued and fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue and therefore will rank equally for all dividends or other distributions declared, made or paid after the issue of the Additional Subscription Shares.
Admission and Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange Plc for the 130,000,000 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will become effective on or around 5 May 2026. Upon Admission, Rome Resources issued ordinary share capital will comprise 7,667,025,932 Ordinary Shares. Upon Admission, this number will represent the total voting rights in the Company, and, following Admission may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they can determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Paul Barrett, Chief Executive Officer of Rome Resources, commented:
''We value the long-term support of these long-standing non-UK investors who have been shareholders of Rome Resources since its TSX listing and prior to the Company's migration to AIM.
Their decision to approach the Company after the initial Subscription and request participation on the same terms is a strong vote of confidence in the broader potential of our DRC projects following on from our most successful drilling campaign at Kalayi to date."
