Issue of shares pursuant to convertible bonds
Sirius Minerals Plc ("Sirius" or the "Company") announces that
it has received conversion notices in respect of 30 convertible
bonds issued by Sirius Minerals Finance Limited during the
Company's stage 1 financing. The convertible bonds, due 2023, which
were issued at US$200,000 each and raised US$400 million, were
announced on 3 November 2016 (RNS number 2246O). As a result of
these conversions the Company will allot and issue 19,505,851 new
ordinary shares of GBP0.0025 each (the "Relevant Shares").
An application has been made for the Relevant Shares to be
admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the
Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") and to trading on the
London Stock Exchange plc's main market for listed securities, and
dealings are expected to commence at 8.00 am on 6 May 2017. The
Relevant Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with all
existing ordinary shares in the Company.
In accordance with the requirements of the FCA's Disclosure
Guidance and Transparency Rules 5.6.1AR and 5.6.2G, the Company
confirms that the enlarged share capital of the Company following
Admission will be 4,228,883,711 Ordinary Shares in aggregate, each
with equal voting rights. No shares are held in treasury. The above
figure may be used by shareholders (and others with notification
obligations) as the denominator for the calculations by which they
will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or
a change to their interest in, Sirius Minerals Plc under the FCA's
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
