All Asia Asset Capital Limited (AIM: AAA), an investment company focused on investing in the growing markets of the Asia Pacific region, is pleased to announce that it has raised £330,000 in cash through a subscription with two existing shareholders of the Company (the "Subscription"). The Company has today issued 2,000,000 new ordinary shares in the Company of no par value each (the "Subscription Shares") at a price of 16.5 pence per share (the "Subscription Price").
The Subscription Price represents the closing mid-market price of the Company's ordinary shares on 29 April 2015, being the last trading day prior to the release of this announcement and a premium of approximately 6.45% to the average closing price of the Company's ordinary shares for the last thirty trading days prior to the release of this announcement.
This Subscription has been effected following investor demand and the Subscription Shares have been issued under the Company's existing share authorities granted by shareholders at the Company's annual general meeting held on 29 May 2014. The Company has received the relevant Subscription funds. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Subscription for working capital and to provide the Company with additional funds to make further investments, in accordance with the Company's investing policy.
The Subscription Shares will represent 0.94% of the issued share capital of the Company, as enlarged by the Subscription. The Subscription Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares. Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Subscription Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"), which is expected to be effective on or around 7 May 2015.
Following the issue of the Subscription Shares, the total number of ordinary shares in issue is 211,861,072 and the total number of voting rights in the Company is 211,861,072. There are no shares held in treasury. The above figure may be used by shareholders 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 Company, under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
