Completion of the Fundraising and the Redemption remains conditional upon Admission, which is expected to occur on 3 December 2024.
Defined terms in this announcement shall have the same meaning as set out in the Company's circular dated 14 November 2024, available on the Company's website at www.srt-marine.com/investors/ for the purposes of AIM Rule 26.
Total Voting Rights
Following Admission on 3 December 2024, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will comprise 249,862,656 Ordinary Shares, none of which are held in treasury. The above figure of 249,862,656 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 voting rights of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Directorate Change
SRT is pleased to advise that further to its announcement on 28 October 2024, Oliver Plunkett has now been appointed as a Non-Executive Director with immediate effect.
