Issue of New Ordinary Shares

 

Sunrise Resources plc (ticker symbol 'SRES'), the AIM-quoted diversified mineral exploration and development company ("the Company"), announces that on 5 February 2015 the Board of the Company resolved to issue 3,278,029 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the Company (the "New Ordinary Shares") to its directors in lieu of net fees for the six month period ended 31 December 2014. The issue of New Ordinary Shares to directors in lieu of fees is in line with current Company practice and enables the Company to keep its cost base to a minimum, preserving cash for its exploration activities.

 

The New Ordinary Shares were issued at a price of 0.275 pence per share, being the closing mid-market price of the ordinary shares on 4 February 2015.

 

The following table shows the number of New Ordinary Shares issued to directors and their total holdings following the issue of New Ordinary Shares now being announced:

Application will be made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and admission is expected to occur on 12 February 2015.

 

Following admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 581,615,349 ordinary shares with one voting right per share. There are no shares held in treasury and the total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 581,615,349.
