Share Capital Reorganisation

Alecto Minerals plc (AIM: ALO), the AIM quoted mining exploration company focusing on West and East Africa, recently completed a share capital reorganisation that was approved at the General Meeting on 8 January 2014.

The share capital reorganisation was to sub-divide and re-designate each of the issued ordinary shares of 0.7p each in the capital of the Company into sixty-nine deferred shares of 0.01p each ("Deferred Share") and one ordinary share of 0.01p each ("New Ordinary Shares"). Immediately following the sub-division and re-designation, shareholders will hold one New Ordinary Share of 0.01p and sixty-nine Deferred Shares in place of every one existing ordinary share of 0.7p each previously held in the capital of the Company. The rights of the New Ordinary Shares will be in all material respects the same as the ordinary shares.

Application has been made for the New Ordinary Share be admitted to trading on AIM and it is anticipated that dealings will commence on 23 January 2014 ('Admission'). On Admission, the Company will have 688,918,775 ordinary shares of 0.01p each in issue ('Ordinary Shares').
