Horizonte Minerals Plc: Issue of Equity to Glencore

23.01.2019  |  GlobeNewswire

LONDON, Jan. 23, 2019 - Horizonte Minerals Plc, (AIM/TSX: HZM) ('Horizonte' or 'the Company') the nickel development company focused in Brazil, announces the settlement of contingent consideration due to Glencore plc following the filing of the Araguaia NI 43-101 Feasibility Study (“FS”) on SEDAR on 12 December.

As per the terms of the Purchase Agreement between Horizonte and Glencore dated 23 September 2015, Contingent consideration of US$330,000 is due upon filing of a FS which includes the Vale do Sohnos deposit acquired from Glencore and which forms part of the overall Araguaia project. The consideration has been settled by issuing 13,855,487 new ordinary shares in the Company (the “Consideration Shares”) at a price of 1.875 pence per share, representing the 5-day Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) 10 days following the filing of the FS, as per the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

Upon issue of these shares Glencore will hold approximately 6.11% in the Company.

Settlement and Dealings

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Consideration Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission of the 13,855,487 Consideration Shares will become effective and dealings in such Consideration Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 24 January 2019.

The Company is relying upon section 602.1 of the TSX Company Manual in connection with the issuance of the Consideration Shares, which exempts the Company from, among other things, obtaining shareholder approval under sections 604(a)(ii) and 607(g)(ii) of the TSX Company Manual, on the basis that the issuance of the Consideration Shares is being completed in accordance with the standards of AIM and the volume of trading of the Ordinary Shares on all Canadian marketplaces in the 12 months immediately preceding the date of the application by the Company to the TSX for conditional approval of the issuance of the Consideration Shares was less than 25%.

The Consideration Shares will, when issued, rank pari passu in all respects with the ordinary shares of the Company that are issued and outstanding (the "Existing Shares") including the right to receive dividends and other distributions declared following Admission.

Total shares in issues

The Company now has 1,446,377,287 Ordinary Shares in issue. The total number of voting rights is therefore 1,446,377,287 and Shareholders may use this figure as the denominator by which they are required to notify their interest in, or change to their interest in, the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
