ANNOUNCEMENT 21 May 2024
VESTING OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS, ISSUE OF EQUITY AND PDMR DEALINGS
Goldway Capital Investment Limited (Goldway) completed an off-market takeover process (Takeover) on 30 April 2024 for all of the ordinary shares in MC Mining Limited (MC Mining or the Company) not already owned by Goldway or its associates. Together with acceptances received under the Takeover, Goldway and its associates have disclosed a combined relevant interest representing 93.05% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital.
In terms of the provisions of the Company's Performance Rights Plan Rules, the Board of MC Mining determined that the completion of the Takeover resulted in a change of control of the Company for the purposes of the vesting of 6,122,605 Performance Rights previously granted to senior MC Mining employees. The Performance Rights were granted in accordance with terms of the shareholder approved Performance Rights Plan and results, following the change of control, in the issue of, in aggregate, 6,122,605 new ordinary shares of no par value in the capital of the Company (the Performance Rights Shares), including Performance Rights Shares issued to certain persons discharging managerial responsibilities (PDMRs).
Issue and Admission of the Performance Rights Shares
Application has been made for the Performance Rights Shares to be admitted to trading on the ASX, AIM and JSE markets (Admission). Admission of the Performance Rights Shares to trading on AIM is expected to become effective at 8:00 a.m. on or around 28 May 2024. The Performance Rights Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing ordinary shares.
On Admission, MC Mining's issued share capital shall comprise 414,013,349 ordinary shares. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the ASX Listing Rules and the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
