("Chaarat" or the "Company")
Agreement with Polymetal
Chaarat (AIM:CGH), the AIM-quoted gold mining company with
assets in the Kyrgyz Republic and Armenia, is pleased to announce
that following discussions related to the acquisition of the Kapan
mine acquired in January 2019 from Polymetal International Plc
("Polymetal"), Polymetal has agreed to exchange its US$10m of
Convertible Notes received as part of original consideration, and a
working capital settlement under the SPA for 14,638,020 newly
issued ordinary shares of USD 0.01 each ("New Shares"). This shall
represent 3.5% of the enlarged fully diluted share capital of
Chaarat post allotment. The New Shares shall be subject to a twelve
month lock-up arrangement and Polymetal shall grant a right of
first refusal effective from the end of the lock-up arrangement for
six months in the event of the sale of those New Shares to
Chaarat.
As a part of this arrangement Chaarat Gold International
Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Chaarat, has also agreed to
release Polymetal from warranties and indemnities under the sale
and purchase agreement on acquisition of Kapan except for a limited
number of reserved matters.
Chaarat is grateful to Polymetal for its continued support,
which has been reaffirmed in the current agreement, and looks
forward to continuing its mutually beneficial commercial
partnership with the company.
Artem Volynets, Chief Executive Officer of Chaarat, said: "We
are delighted to welcome this experienced operator on to our
shareholder register. Polymetal's decision to exchange its debt for
shares in Chaarat is an endorsement of our strategy and prospects,
implies a premium to our current market value, and reduces our debt
levels."
