Fundraise of US$ 530,000
Kore Potash plc, the potash development company with 97% ownership of the Kola and DX Potash
Projects in the Sintoukola Basin, located in the Republic of Congo, is pleased to announce that the
Company has issued five separate Convertible Loan Notes ("CLNs") in the Company with an aggregate
value of US$ 530,000 (the "Fundraise"). The CLNs have a proposed Drawdown date of 22 March 2024.
The net proceeds from the CLNs will be used to further advance work that is expected to lead to the
signing of an EPC contract for the Kola Potash Project, as announced by the Company on 9 February
2024, and provide working capital for Kore Potash.
CLNs
The Company is raising US$ 530,000 by way of the issue of five separate CLNs. Each Convertible Loan has
a zero interest coupon and is convertible into new ordinary shares of US$ 0.001 ("new Ordinary Shares")
each in the Company at a price of 0.38 pence per new Ordinary Share and will be converted immediately
after publication of the 2023 Annual Report which the Company expects to publish on or about 28 March
2024.
Subject to the conversion of the CLNs the Company will issue 109,865,053 new Ordinary Shares in the
Company. The conversion of the CLNs into shares is subject to and conditional upon the publication of
the Company's Annual Report. Only upon the occurrence of an Event of Default the Lenders may, for so
long as the Event of Default is continuing, by written notice to the Company declare the Outstanding
Moneys to be immediately due and payable to the Lenders without the need for any further demand or
notice to be given. There are no broking fees incurred in respect of this Fundraise.
Chairman's intentions
Kore Potash is currently in a close period that restricts Directors and senior management from trading
in the Company's shares pending the notification of the audited results for the year ended 31 December
2023 ("Results"), which are expected to be notified on or about 28 March 2024. Subject to any
regulatory requirements, it is the intention of David Hathorn, Chairman, to subscribe for new ordinary
shares of the Company for a consideration of US$ 150,000 as soon as practicable following the
notification of the Results on the same terms as the Fundraise. A further announcement will be made
in relation to any subscription by David Hathorn in due course.
