W Resources Plc
("W" or the "Company")
Review of Warrants
W Resources Plc (AIM:WRES), the tungsten, tin and gold mining company with assets in Spain and Portugal has recently carried out a review of its outstanding warrants.
The review identified approximately 471 million of warrants issued in April and May 2019 which are due to expire at the end of December 2020. After careful review and giving full consideration to both the delays at the La Parrilla tungsten and tin project and the global effects of Covid-19 the Company has decided to extend the expiry date of these warrants to 31 December 2021. The Company has 7,269,220,952 shares in issue and 1,378,645,592 warrants.
All other aspects of the warrants are unchanged and are listed below:
Investor Name | Warrants | Exercise Price | Value | Issued | Initial Expiry | New Expiry |
Peel Hunt Holdings Ltd | 46,428,572 | £0.0060 | 278,571.43 | 18/04/2019 | 31/12/2020 | 31/12/2021 |
Trium Capital Managers Ltd | 21,428,572 | £0.0060 | 128,571.43 | 18/04/2019 | 31/12/2020 | 31/12/2021 |
Jim Nominees Limited | 260,714,284 | £0.0060 | 1,564,285.70 | 18/04/2019 | 31/12/2020 | 31/12/2021 |
Jim Nominees Limited | 71,428,572 | £0.0060 | 428,571.43 | 18/04/2019 | 31/12/2020 | 31/12/2021 |
Symmall Pty Limited | 35,714,284 | £0.0060 | 214,285.70 | 22/05/2019 | 31/12/2020 | 31/12/2021 |
Beronia Investments Pty Ltd | 35,714,284 | £0.0060 | 214,285.70 | 22/05/2019 | 31/12/2020 | 31/12/2021 |
Michael Masterman, Chairman, is both a beneficiary and trustee of Symmall Pty Limited and Byron Pirola, who retired as a director of W on 30 March 2020, is associated with Beronia Investments Pty Ltd, both of which companies are subject to the warrant extension. Accordingly, in the case of each, the extension to the expiry date of the warrants constitutes a related party transaction under Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. The independent directors, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, Grant Thornton UK LLP, consider that the terms of the transactions are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
Further to the 26 November 2020 update on La Parrilla, tungsten and tin production rates are continuing to build and the Company will announce the Q4 2020 production update in January 2021.
