ZENITH ISSUES EQUITY TO ACCELERATE WORKOVER PROGRAMME
Calgary, Alberta-January 30, 2017- Zenith Energy Ltd. ("Zenith"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, as a result of
market demand, the Company has entered into an agreement to proceed
with a brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") to
raise gross proceeds of GBP855,000 (approximately CDN$ 1,408,000)
through the issue of nine million (9,000,000) new common shares of
the Company ("New Common Shares") at a price of GBP0.095
(approximately CDN$ 0.1565) per share.
In addition to the New Common Shares, under the Private
Placement, each subscriber will receive one warrant ('the Warrant")
for every New Common Share purchased. Each Warrant shall entitle
the Warrant holder to subscribe for New Common Shares in the
Company at a price of GBP0.15 per common share (approximately CDN$
0.247), exercisable at any time until 1 February 2019.
The Private Placement follows the successful dual listing of the
Company on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 11
January 2017 when Zenith raised GBP2,332,550 before expenses via
the issue of 33,322,143 common shares. The proceeds of the Private
Placement will be used to accelerate the Company's field
rehabilitation activities in Azerbaijan and increase the number of
well workovers scheduled for completion by 31 March 2018.
The New Common Shares will comprise approximately 8.088% (eight
point zero eighty-eight per cent) of the Company's enlarged issued
share capital, and are anticipated to be issued as depository
interests in CREST in the United Kingdom. Application will be made
for the New Common Shares to be admitted to the standard segment of
the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading
on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock
Exchange (the "Admission"). It is expected that Admission will
become effective and unconditional dealings in the New Common
Shares will commence on or around 8.00am 2 February 2017.
Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will
comprise 111,264,867 common shares with one voting right per share.
No shares are held in Treasury. The total number of voting rights
in the Company will therefore be 111,264,867.
This figure of 111,264,867 common shares 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 to their interest in, the share capital of
the Company.
The transaction is subject to the Approval of the TSXV in Canada
and of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in the United
Kingdom.
Andrea Cattaneo, CEO of Zenith, commented:
"The Board of Directors is pleased with the Company's share
price performance and liquidity in the period following Zenith's
successful dual listing on the Main Market of the London Stock
Exchange on 11 January 2017. This has validated our confidence in
the strengths and advantages of dual listing. I am pleased that
there has been such demand from the market to support the Company's
growth and I am of the view that there remains considerable scope
for further Zenith market appreciation. This capital raising will
provide additional funding for the Company's growth strategy,
specifically with regards to the well workover programme in
Azerbaijan. I look forward to updating the market on Zenith's
progress in the months ahead."
