ZincOx Resources plc
("ZincOx" or the "Company")
Result of General Meeting and Open Offer
On 12 November 2013, the Board of ZincOx Resources plc, the developer of Asia's largest zinc recycling project (AIM: ZOX),announced details of a proposed Subscription of New Ordinary Shares, a proposed Placing of New Ordinary Shares and a proposed Open Offer of New Ordinary Shares to raise up to approximately £5.59 million in total.
At the General Meeting held earlier today, all Resolutions proposed in connection with the Proposals were passed by Shareholders.
The Open Offer closed for acceptances at 11.00 a.m. on 27 November 2013. The Company received valid acceptances from Qualifying Shareholders in respect of 3,620,341 Open Offer Shares, including applications for 993,932 Open Offer Shares under the Excess Application Facility. This represents approximately 49 per cent. of the maximum Open Offer Shares available under the Open Offer. The Company has therefore raised the gross proceeds of approximately £0.56 million through the Open Offer.
In addition, at an exchange rate of GBP1.00/US$1.6166, the IFC will subscribe for 15,963,412 Ordinary Shares.
Also following the Resolutions in relation to the Capital Reorganisation, the nominal value of each Ordinary Share is now 1p per share.
Application has been made to AIM for the admission of the Open Offer Shares, the Subscription Shares and the Placing Shares, aggregating to 32,113,913 New Ordinary Shares of 1p each. It is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 3 December 2013. The New Ordinary Shares, when issued and fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares of 1p each.
The following table sets out the Directors' shareholding and percentage interest in the issued share capital of the Company following Admission, including shares taken up by Directors in the Open Offer:
