Keras Resources plc (AIM: KRS) today announces Director
purchases of shares and the appointment of Graham Stacey to the
Board as Executive Director.
Further to the Diamond Creek update released on Friday 5
November 2021, the Directors of Keras, Brian Moritz, Russell
Lamming, and David Reeves have purchased an additional 0.84% or
52,980,987 ordinary shares of 0.01 pence each in the Company,
("Ordinary Shares") and their resulting shareholdings are detailed
as below. In addition, Graham Stacey has agreed to convert GBP7,500
of his outstanding fees into 12,500,000 new Ordinary Shares at a
price of 0.06p per Ordinary Share ("Salary Shares") taking the
Board's shareholding to 23.82%.
Application will be made for the Salary Shares to be admitted to
trading on AIM which is expected occur on or around 15 November
2021 ("Admission"). Following Admission, there will be
6,296,073,068 Ordinary Shares in issue with each share carrying the
right to one vote. There are no shares currently held in treasury.

denominator for the calculations by which they determine if they
are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their
