Ironveld plc ("Ironveld" or "the Company"), announces that it has raised £500,000 (before expenses) pursuant to a Broker Option following the conditional Placing announced on 13 July 2022.

The Company granted an option to Turner Pope Investments Limited ("Turner Pope") under the Placing Agreement to enable them to deal with additional demand under the Placing in the event that requests to participate in the Placing from existing shareholders who are qualifying investors were received during the period from the time of the announcement of the Placing to close of business on 14 July 2022, up to a maximum of £1,000,000. Turner Pope has exercised the Broker Option in respect of 166,666,666 Broker Option Shares at the same price as the Placing.

Accordingly, the total number of new Ordinary Shares to be issued by the Company pursuant to the Second Placing and the Broker Option is 1,379,999,999. The aggregate gross proceeds of the Placing and the Broker Option is £4.50 million. Aggregate proceeds, net of expenses, are expected to be approximately £4.20 million.

Under the fee arrangements in place with Turner Pope, the Company will issue Turner Pope, conditional on Second Admission, Broker Warrants to subscribe for a total of 375,000,000 new Ordinary Shares at the Placing Price for a period of 36 months from Admission.  In the event that the Placing is completed but relevant resolutions necessary for the issue of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Broker Warrants are not passed at the General Meeting on 1 August 2022, each Broker Warrant will entitle the holder to subscribe for two new Ordinary Shares (ie a total of 750,000,000 new Ordinary Shares could be allotted pursuant to the Broker Warrants) and the Company has agreed to propose the necessary resolutions at the Company's next Annual General Meeting.

Settlement and dealings

Application will be made for the Second Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM in due course. Dealings in the Second Placing Shares on AIM are expected to commence at 8:00 am on or around 2 August 2022 and the Company will make a further announcement in due course.
