Update on Afrimat Option to acquire shares in Glenover

Galileo Resources plc ("Galileo "or the "Company") is pleased to inform shareholders on progress in relation to JSE Listed Afrimat Limited's ("Afrimat") option to buy for ZAR300 million (approx. GBP12.8M) shares in and shareholder loans ("Sale Claims") made to Glenover Phosphate Proprietary Limited ("Glenover") ("Afrimat's Option") in which Galileo has a 30.70% direct and 4.99% indirect investment held via Galagen Proprietary Limited ("Galagen") (refer to announcements of 9 December 2021, 11 February 2022, 30 March 2022, 20 October 2022 and 22 March 2023).

The parties on 21 June 2023 have signed an addendum to the conditional sale of shares and shareholders loan agreement between Afrimat, Glenover and the shareholders of Glenover which gave rise to Afrimat's Option (the "Addendum") which confirms that the Sale Claims and Share sale consideration will be settled as below.

In summary, the amended terms remove the requirement for the previous suspensive conditions to be met before the first two tranches of consideration are paid and instead sets a revised timetable for the receipt of such amounts, as detailed below, as well as amending the second tranche to be paid in cash.

                  cash. 
 
                  Galileo's estimated portion will

                  GBP42K).

Colin Bird Chairman and CEO commented " We are very pleased with the amended agreement regarding phase 2 of the Glenover/Afrimat transaction. Afrimat is a very proactive and progressive company and we are pleased to become shareholders in that entity, and of course, look forward to the final cash payment in April 2024, which will conclude the transaction in its entirety. "
