Result of Oversubscribed Retail Offer
Global Petroleum Limited (LSE AIM: GBP) is pleased to announce, further to its earlier announcement of 14 August 2024, that it has conditionally raised £250,000 (before expenses) via the conditional issue of 384,615,385 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (the "Retail Offer Shares") at a price of 0.065 pence per share (the "Issue Price") pursuant to its offer to its existing retail shareholders via CMC CapX (the "Retail Offer").
Due to exceptional demand, the Retail Offer was significantly oversubscribed in relation to its original retail target raise of £100,000 and the Company decided to accommodate the excess demand from its shareholders. This has also resulted in participants being scaled back from their original amounts requested. The Company wishes to thank shareholders for their continued support.
The Retail Offer is conditional on the Retail Offer Shares being admitted to trading on the AIM market operated by the London Stock Exchange plc ("Admission"). Admission is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on or around 22 August 2024.
