The Existing Common Shares will be cancelled from trading on AIM and the New Common Shares, including the Fundraising Shares, the Consideration Shares, the Loan Repayment Shares, the Adviser Fee Shares and the Conversion Shares, are expected to be admitted to trading on AIM with effect from 8.00 a.m. on 25 November 2020 under the new ISIN of BMG7567C1304. Following Admission, the Company will have 261,478,810 New Common Shares in issue. 

In addition, on Admission, the following Proposals will become unconditional in all respects:

ISIN/TIDM and Change of Name of the Company

Pursuant to the passing of Resolution 8 at today's AGM, the Company will now make applications to the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda to implement the change of name to Lexington Gold Ltd and to the Bermuda Stock Exchange for a further new ISIN for its new common shares to reflect the change of name (in accordance with the requisite requirements in Bermuda). Once such procedural matters have been duly completed, the change of name, ISIN and change of TIDM (to AIM: LEX) will be effected so as to ensure no disruption to trading, and details of the new ISIN and confirmation of the name change being effected will be announced in due course. Accordingly, the Company will recommence trading on 25 November 2020 under its existing name of Richland Resources Ltd and a further announcement made in due course to confirm the date of the change of name and the new ISIN for the Company's shares, which it is currently estimated will take place in approximately two weeks.
