Note: * indicate existing shareholders so will subscribe with existing subscription or preferential rights

 

The commitments noted above, where not based on existing subscription or preferential rights, may be subject to scale back (as is the case for all new investors) should the Capital Raise be fully subscribed.

 

 

Related Party Transaction

 

The subscription from Ed Bowie (Chief Executive Officer), Chris Davies (Independent Non-Executive Director), Johan Rostin (Non-Executive Chairman), Mikael Schauman (Independent Non-Executive Director), Rasmus Blomqvist (Managing Director, Grafintec) and Ismet Krasniqi (Non-Executive Director, Vardar Minerals) are considered related-party transactions for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules. The Company's Nominated Adviser, SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP, considers the terms of the Board and Senior Management subscription to be fair and reasonable insofar as Beowulf's shareholders are concerned.

 

 

Capital Raise Update

 

The subscription period for the Capital Raise, which began on 14 March 2024, runs until 28 March 2024 (12.00 p.m. GMT / 1.00 p.m. Swedish time). The Capital Raise consists of a preferential rights issue of up to 1,035,553,623 Swedish Depository Receipts in Sweden and a conditional offer for subscription of up to 266,282,272 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the capital of the Company via PrimaryBid in the UK (the "PrimaryBid Offer").

 

The Company understands that a number of potential subscribers to the PrimaryBid Offer have had difficulties accessing the offer. The PrimaryBid Offer is not directly available on the PrimaryBid website or app but is available through PrimaryBid's extensive network of retail brokers, wealth managers and investment platforms, (subject to such partners' participation). Existing shareholders should be able to access the PrimaryBid Offer through the Corporate Actions departments of their respective brokers or by following the instructions for the website Corporate Actions Tool. New investors should also be able to access the PrimaryBid Offer via the Corporate Actions departments of their brokers.  Further information is provided at www.primarybid.com/uk/service-update.

 

Potential subscribers are recommended to check any deadlines imposed by their brokers as these may differ from the timeline published by the Company.
