Berkeley Energia Limited (Company) has today issued 81,000 fully paid ordinary shares to its Spanish based employees as part of an employee share incentive scheme.

 

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the new ordinary shares, which rank pari passu with the Company's existing issued ordinary shares, to be admitted to trading on the LSE (as depository interests). Dealings are expected to commence by 24 August 2018 (Admission).

 

The Company's issued ordinary share capital following Admission is 258,415,420 ordinary shares.

 

The above figure of 258,415,420 ordinary shares 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 share capital of the Company, under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
