Beowulf announces final terms for capital raise

Beowulf (AIM: BEM; Spotlight: BEO) is pleased to announce the terms of its previously announced plan to conduct a capital raise comprising a preferential rights issue of up to 1,035,553,623 Swedish Depository Receipts ("SDRs") (the "Rights Issue") and a PrimaryBid retail offer in the UK (the "UK Issue") of up to 266,282,272 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the capital of the Company ("New Ordinary Shares"). The SDRs represent interests in ordinary shares in the Company and the Rights Issue will, if fully subscribed, amount to approximately SEK 82.8 million (approximately £6.3 million) before deduction for transaction related costs. The UK Issue, if fully subscribed, will amount to a maximum of approximately SEK 21.2 million (approximately £1.6 million) before deduction for transaction related costs. The aggregate amount to be raised under the Rights Issue and the UK Issue (together, the "Capital Raise") is up to approximately SEK 104.1 million (approximately £8.0 million).

The new SDRs ("New SDRs") will be offered at a price of SEK 0.08 per SDR (the "SDR Offer Price") and the New Ordinary Shares will be offered in the UK Issue at a price of 0.61 pence (the "UK Offer Price").

New SDRs in the Rights Issue will also be offered for subscription without preferential rights to institutional investors, other professional investors and the general public in Sweden. The UK Issue will be approximately proportionate in size to the Rights Issue relative to shareholdings in the Company and subscriptions under the UK Issue will be considered by the Company with preference to be given to the Company's existing retail investors, subject to certain customary conditions.

Beowulf has received underwriting commitments for the Rights Issue which in aggregate amount to SEK 50 million (approximately £3.8 million), or approximately 60 per cent of the Rights Issue.

The maximum gross proceeds from the Capital Raise (assuming both the Rights Issue and the UK Issue are fully subscribed) will amount to approximately SEK 104 million (corresponding to approximately £8.0 million) in aggregate. The net proceeds from the Capital Raise, estimated to be approximately SEK 89 million (corresponding to approximately £6.8 million) (assuming full take-up under the Rights Issue and the UK Issue), will be used mainly to finance the continued development of the Kallak Iron Ore Project in northern Sweden ("Kallak"), including completion of the ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") and environmental studies in preparation for the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") and subsequent application for the environmental permit for Kallak, and the completion of the ongoing PFS and EIA for the Graphite Anode Materials Plant ("GAMP") in Finland. The Rights Issue will also repay amounts advanced under the Company's bridge loan financing arrangements, and corporate costs. With sufficient funding available, further programmes will be considered at each of the Company's exploration projects.

The SDR Offer Price is based on the daily weighted average price for the SDRs during a trading period of 10 business days ending on and including 1 March 2024 on Spotlight Stock Market, with a percentage discount of 33.8 percent on the theoretical ex-rights price ("TERP"). The UK Offer Price has been based on an exchange rate conversion of the SDR Offer Price.

The New SDRs and New Ordinary Shares will be issued using the Directors' existing authority to allot shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis granted by shareholders in the Company ("Shareholders") at the Company's 2023 general meeting and, as well as the Directors' additional authority to allot shares on the same basis subject to approval by Shareholders at the general meeting to be held on 5 March 2024 (the "General Meeting").

A prospectus relating to the Rights Issue is expected to be published on or around 12 March 2024 subject to final regulatory approval.

Ed Bowie, Chief Executive Officer of Beowulf, commented:

"The proposed Capital Raise is critical for Beowulf. While it is at a discount to last year's financing, it reflects the extremely challenging equity markets, particularly for junior resource companies, and is at a level customary for the Swedish junior market. The Capital Raise has also been structured such that existing shareholders will be preferentially able to take part in the Capital Raise and therefore mitigate the impact of the discount."

"Completing the Capital Raise will enable the Company to deliver the PFS and EIA for both Kallak and GAMP, critical milestones in underpinning the value and unlocking the optionality of both assets. These studies do require significant capital, however, corporate costs, particularly with Jokkmokk Iron, have been reduced very significantly and we have taken vital steps to ensure expenditure across the portfolio is focused on project development."

"We have high quality assets and are building a strong team. I am excited about the next 12 months and confident that we will grow the value of the business. I would like to thank shareholders for their ongoing support."

Share Capital and dilution

A maximum of 1,301,835,895 New Ordinary Shares (including those to be issued in relation to the New SDRs) may be issued pursuant to the Capital Raise, increasing the number of Ordinary Shares in issue from 1,157,187,463 to 2,459,023,358, corresponding to a £1,301,835.90 increase in the issued share capital of the Company from £11,571,874.63 to £12,873,710.53. The holdings of Qualifying SDR Holders and Shareholders in the Company, who do not participate in the Rights Issue or the UK Issue, as a percentage of the enlarged share capital, will be diluted by approximately 52.9 per cent of votes and share capital (assuming full take-up under the Rights Issue and the UK Issue) as a result of the Capital Raise.

Additional information

On 16 January 2024 Beowulf announced its intention to undertake, amongst other things, the Capital Raise (the "Launch Announcement"). In the Launch Announcement Beowulf described the Background to and reasons for the Capital Raise, Use of proceeds, as well as more details relating to the Underwriting commitments. The Launch Announcement also included details regarding the Company's intention to undertake the Capital Reorganisation (as defined therein) pursuant to the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting. Subject to the passing of the necessary resolutions at the General Meeting, the New Ordinary Shares, as described in the Launch Announcement, will be admitted to trading on AIM on 6 March 2024.

A prospectus related to the Rights Issue containing the full terms and conditions and instructions on subscription and payment will be made available together with other investor material on or around 12 March 2024 and before the subscription period commences on Beowulf's website (https://beowulfmining.com/), Evli Plc's website (www.evli.com), Aqurat's website (www.aqurat.se), as well as Finansinspektionen's website (www.fi.se).

The Company values its UK investor base and therefore the purpose of the UK Issue will be to allow Shareholders, along with private and other investors, the opportunity to participate in the Capital Raise.
