PrimaryBid.com Offer

Dekel ( LON : DKL ), the West African focused agriculture company company , is pleased to announce a conditional offer for subscription via PrimaryBid (the "PrimaryBidOffer") of new ordinary shares of €0.0003367 each in the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") at an issue price of  5 pence per New Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price").  The Company is also conducting a placing of new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price by way of an accelerated bookbuild process (the "Placing") as announced at 16:30 on 28^th January 2021.

The PrimaryBid Offer and the Placing are conditional on the new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the PrimaryBid Offer and the Placing being admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on   3^rd February 2021 . The PrimaryBid Offer will not be completed without the Placing also being completed.

The Company intends to use the funds raised to acquire a further 16.7% interest in the large scale raw cashew nut ('RCN') processing project at Tiebissou, Côte d'Ivoire (the "Cashew Project"), which, if completed, would increase the Company's interest in the Cashew Project to 70.7%, as explained in the Company's announcement made at 16:30 on 28^th January 2021. The balance of the gross proceeds will be used as working capital to strengthen the Company's balance sheet and also support the cashew processing project at Tiebissou, as it commences first production in Q2 2021.
