Issue of Equity
Sula (AIM: SULA), the gold exploration company focused on Sierra
Leone, is pleased to announce that it has issued 152,977,298 new
ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") to Equity Drilling Limited
("Equity"), the Company's drill contractor in final settlement for
its recently completed Phase 3 drilling of 5,184 metre on its
Ferensola gold project.
As previously announced, part the drilling contract that the
Company entered into with Equity provided for 50 per cent. of the
costs to be settled through the issue of new Ordinary Shares. The
issue of the Ordinary Shares represents the final payment under
this drill contract. Accordingly, Sula will issue 152,977,298 new
Ordinary Shares to Equity based upon a price of 0.1p. The issue of
these shares represents approximately half of the element of the
drilling contract.
Accordingly, application will be made for the new Ordinary
Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is
expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in
the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 13 October
2017. The new Ordinary Shares will represent approximately 4.9 per
cent. of the Company's Enlarged Share Capital. The new Ordinary
Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's
existing Ordinary Shares and will be issued fully paid.
Following Admission, the Company's Enlarged Share Capital will
comprise 3,271,746,363 Ordinary Shares. This figure may be used by
shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they
may determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or
a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial
Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
