Trading Halt, Amended Admission Date & Fundraising Update

 

Kore Potash plc, the potash development company with 97% ownership of the Kola and DX Potash Projects in the Sintoukola Basin, located in the Republic of Congo, announces that the Company has requested the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") and the JSE Limited ("JSE") in accordance with their rules to immediately halt trading in the Company's shares quoted on the ASX and JSE pending an announcement in relation to the Engineering, Procurement and Construction ("EPC") contract (the "Trading Halt").

 

The Company's securities will accordingly not be traded on the ASX and JSE whilst the Trading Halt remains in place.

 

Trading in the Company's ordinary securities will continue to trade as normal on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange during this period.

Application for admission of Subscription Shares

 

Further to the Company's announcement of 5 November 2024 regarding a share subscription (the "Fundraise"), which has raised approximately US$900,000 through the issue of 25,441,268 new ordinary shares of US$0.001 each in the Company ("Subscription Shares"), as a result of the Trading Halt, Kore Potash advises that application will be made for the admission of 25,441,268 Subscription Shares to trading on AIM, the JSE and the Australian Securities Exchange with admission expected to take place on or around 18 November 2024 rather than 11 November 2024 as stated in the announcement of 5 November 2024.

 

The Subscription Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued ordinary shares of the Company. This includes the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared or paid in respect of such ordinary shares after the date of issue of the Subscription Shares.

 

Total voting rights

Following the admission to trading of the Subscription Shares, the Company's total issued share capital will consist of 4,377,869,961 ordinary shares of US$0.001 each. No shares are held in treasury. Accordingly, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 4,377,869,961.

 

The above 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 Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

 

The Subscription Shares will be issued within the Company's existing ASX Listing Rule 7.1 capacity. The Company can confirm that none of the Subscription Shares are being issued to a party noted in ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
