Woodbois Limited (AIM: WBI), the African focused forestry and
timber trading company, is pleased to announce a conditional offer
for subscription via PrimaryBid (the "PrimaryBid Offer") of new
ordinary shares of GBP0.01 each in the Company ("New Ordinary
Shares") at an issue price of 2 pence per New Ordinary Share (the
"Issue Price"), being a discount of 37.5 per cent to the closing
mid-price on 13 July 2020. The Company is also conducting a placing
of new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price by way of an accelerated
bookbuild process by Canaccord Genuity Limited (the "Placing") and
a subscription by the directors of the Company and other
individuals (the "Subscription") as announced on 14 July 2020.
The PrimaryBid Offer, the Placing and Subscription are
conditional passing of certain Resolutions at a General Meeting,
which is expected to be convened for 5 August 2020 and on the new
Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the PrimaryBid Offer,
Placing and Subscription being admitted to trading on London Stock
Exchange ("Admission"). Admission is expected to be take place at
8.00 a.m. on 6 August 2020 . The PrimaryBid Offer will not be
completed without the Placing and Subscription also being

The Company will use the funds raised to:
-- significantly increase and further fund production
capabilities in Gabon, thereby increasing capacity, throughput and
margins by investing between US$3 million to US$4 million in
equipment and infrastructure;
-- grow materially its timber trading business utilising its
extensive network and unique technology;
-- complete the transformation of the Group's balance sheet by
retiring all of the 11.5% internal trade finance facility ("ITF")
(US$13.9 million) not otherwise being settled;
-- meet the cash portion of the Deferred Consideration
Settlement relating to the purchase of Woodbois International ApS
in 2017; and
-- satisfy the Group's general working capital purposes.
