And
Total Voting Rights
Wishbone Gold Plc (AIM: WSBN, AQSE: WSBN), the precious metals
trading and exploration company has issued and allotted on Friday,
29 May 2020, a total of 63,459,420 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence
each (the "Ordinary Shares") at a price of 1.35 pence per share as
agreed by the Board on 22 May 2020 (the "Issue"). The Issue price
of 1.35p represents a 7% per cent. discount to the latest closing
price on AIM of 1.45p as at 29 May 2020.
The breakdown of the issue of Ordinary Shares is as follows:
1. 22,222,221 Ordinary Shares for the raising of GBP300,000
(before expenses) through a placing via Peterhouse Capital Limited
("Peterhouse"). Peterhouse has been appointed as Broker to the
Company with immediate effect. GBP100,000 of this placing was
subscribed by Black Swan FZE for 7,407,407 Ordinary Shares.
2. 13,014,002 Ordinary Shares is issued to settle the Directors
and Management Fees of GBP175,689.02.
3. 28,223,197 Ordinary Shares for the conversion of the
outstanding loans with Sanderson Capital Partners Limited
("Sanderson") and Black Swan FZE (receiving 8,638,686 Ordinary
Shares) and to discharge sundry other creditors. This results in
the conversion of GBP292,889.61 for both loans and GBP88,123.55 for
other creditors.
This restructuring leaves the company with no significant
liabilities and sufficient cash to continue operations for the
foreseeable future. COVID-19 has had a severe impact on the
physical gold trade, particularly in Dubai where the grounding of
Emirates Airlines cut off the supply of gold from Africa and South
America. This has led to shortages of physical gold worldwide due
to the major position held by Dubai in physical trading. Although
Emirates is now flying again on some routes this is a fraction of
its previous capacity.
Accordingly, the Company has taken this opportunity to raise
funds in difficult times to be in a position to take advantage of
opportunities in the market as they arise.
The Directors and associated parties have participated in the
issue as follows:
