CAP-XX Limited
("CAP-XX" or the
"Company")
Result of Placing
Oversubscribed Placing and Subscription
raises £2.75 million
CAP-XX Limited (AIM: CPX), a world leader in
the design and manufacture of thin, prismatic supercapacitors and
energy management systems, is pleased to
announce that, further to the announcement made on 31
October 2024 (the "Launch Announcement"), the Company has
conditionally raised £2.5 million (before expenses) pursuant to the
Placing of 2,272,727,200 new Ordinary Shares ("Placing Shares") at the Issue Price of
0.11 pence per Ordinary Share. Allenby Capital Limited
acted as Sole Bookrunner in connection with the Placing, which was
conducted by way of an accelerated book build process, was
over-subscribed and was therefore subject to scale back.
Accordingly, assuming the Subscription proceeds
as intended, the Company has conditionally raised total gross
proceeds of £2.75 million (before expenses) from the Placing and
the Subscription.
Retail
Offer
On 31 October 2024,
concurrent with the Placing, the Company announced a retail offer
to existing Shareholders via the RetailBook Platform for up to
250,000,000 new Ordinary Shares (the "Retail Offer Shares") to raise up to an
additional £0.275 million (before expenses) at the Issue Price (the
"Retail Offer"). The Retail
Offer through the RetailBook Platform is expected to remain open
until 2.30 p.m. on 4
November 2024. A further announcement will be made
once the Retail Offer has closed in relation to the result of the
Retail Offer. Any additional funds raised as a result of the Retail
Offer will be used for general working capital purposes.
Admission
363,983,965 Placing
Shares (the "First Placing
Shares") will be issued under the Company's existing
authorities. Application will be made for
the First Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is
expected that First Admission, and commencement of dealings, will
take place at 8.00 a.m. on or around 7
November 2024. The allotment and issue of the
First Placing Shares will not be conditional upon the passing of
the Resolutions at the General Meeting or the allotment and issue
of the Second Placing Shares.
Application will be made for
1,908,743,235 Placing Shares (the
"Second Placing Shares") to
be admitted to trading on AIM. Subject to, inter alia, the passing of the
Resolutions at the General Meeting, it is expected that Second
Admission, and commencement of dealings, will take place at 8.00
a.m. on or around 9 December
2024. The Second Placing is conditional
upon, among other things, the passing of the Resolutions at the
General Meeting, Second Admission becoming effective and the
Placing Agreement not being terminated in accordance with its
terms.
The Placing Shares, when issued,
will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the
Company's existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive
dividends and other distributions declared on or after the date of
issue.
General
Meeting
The General Meeting is proposed to be held at
5.00 p.m. AEDT, 6.00 a.m. London time on 5 December 2024. The
Circular, which will provide further details of the Fundraise and
include a notice convening the General Meeting, will be sent to
Shareholders following the close of the Retail Offer. A further
announcement will be made to confirm this in due course.
Total Voting Rights
Following First Admission, the
Company's issued and fully paid share capital will consist
of 3,357,210,402 Ordinary
Shares, all of which carry one voting right per share. The Company
does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total
number of ordinary shares and voting rights in the Company will
be 3,357,210,402. This figure
may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations
by which they will determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under
the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
A further announcement will be made
in relation to total voting rights in the Company's share capital
following the issue of the Second Placing Shares, the Subscription
Shares and the Retail Offer Shares.
