Results of AGM and GROC Subscription and Director Dealings

Alba Mineral Resources Plc (AIM: ALBA) announces that at its Annual General Meeting ("AGM"), which was held today, all the resolutions were duly passed.

 

Alba further notes the RNS today by its portfolio company, GreenRoc Mining Plc ("GreenRoc"), regarding the subscription of shares in GreenRoc by GreenRoc directors and persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs") as well as by GreenRoc's largest shareholder, Alba, and a number of Alba concert parties. In total, 6,111,108 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each (the "Shares") have been subscribed for in GreenRoc at a price of 1.8 pence per Share (the "Subscription Price") for a total subscription of approximately £110,000 (the "Subscription").

 

Alba has subscribed for 3,888,890 Shares at the Subscription Price ("Alba Subscription"). Following its subscription, Alba will hold 66,915,207 shares in the Company, equivalent to 35.69% of the Company's issued capital.

 

The Alba Subscription, and the subscriptions of Alba Directors Michael Nott and George Frangeskides and COO Mark Austin, constitute related party transactions as defined by the AIM Rules. The independent director of the Company in relation to those subscriptions (being Elizabeth Henson, who is not participating in the subscription) considers, having consulted with SPARK Advisory Partners Limited, the Company's nominated adviser, that the terms of the subscriptions are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

Related Party Transactions

 

The Alba Subscription constitutes a related party transaction as defined by the AIM Rules. The independent directors of the Company in relation to the Alba Subscription (being all the directors of the Company other than George Frangeskides and Mark Austin) consider, having consulted with Cairn Financial Advisers LLP, the Company's nominated adviser, that the terms of the Alba Subscription are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

 

The subscriptions by the above-named GreenRoc directors constitute related party transactions as defined by the AIM Rules. The independent director of the Company in relation to the subscriptions by the GreenRoc directors, being Mark Rachovides who is not participating in the Subscription, considers, having consulted with Cairn Financial Advisers LLP, the Company's nominated adviser, that the terms of the subscriptions by the above-named GreenRoc directors are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

 

Admission to Trading on AIM and Total Voting Rights 

 

Application has been made for the Subscription Shares, which will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each, to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission of the 6,111,108 Subscription Shares will become effective and that dealings will commence at 8:00 a.m. on or around 5 June 2024.

 

Following the issue of the Subscription Shares, the total issued share capital of the Company will consist of 187,464,769 ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in Treasury, therefore the total voting rights in the Company following Admission will be 187,464,769. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
