Conversion of Existing Convertible Loan Notes
The GRIT Board announces that with the consent of the Company, an aggregate of £63,507 principal of Existing Convertible Loan Notes held by Richard Lockwood, Directors of GRIT have been converted into 2,540,279 new ordinary shares (the "Conversion Shares") of 2.5p each in the Company at a conversion price of 2.5p per share, allotted and issued to Richard Lockwood.
Applications for Admission of the Conversion Shares
Applications have been made to the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and the London Stock Exchange for the 2,540,279 Conversion Shares to be admitted to listing on the Official List (premium listing segment) and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and trading in such Conversion Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on or around 22 November 2022.
Total Voting Rights
Following the issue of the 2,540,279 Conversion Shares, which on Admission will rank pari passu with the existing issued ordinary shares of 2.5p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") , the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue with voting rights in the Company will be 15,196,857. There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury by the Company.
The above figure of 15,196,857 may therefore be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they may determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
