Corcel plc said that its proposed director Mr Yan Zhao will subscribe for a third of shares previously earmarked for distribution by private investment company AUSPECT Investment PTY Ltd.
FUNDRAISE
On 14 December 2022, Corcel announced it had raised £466,000 at a “significant premium” to the current share price from AUSPECT.
The Australian company had told Corcel that it ultimately intended to distribute the shares in due course.
AUSPECT was introduced by Mr Zhao who is a non-executive director of Corcel’s proposed joint venture partner Shangdong New Power COSMO AM&T (NPC).
FAMILY TRUST
“The company has however now been informed that rather than distribute the shares later, Mr Zhao, the proposed incoming director, will personally subscribe for one third of the placing, being a total of 38,833,333 shares,” said Corcel yesterday in a statement.
“Mr Zhao will subscribe through his family trust Mountain Stone Australia Trust which is managed by OZJ Global Pty Limited.
“The balance of the shares will still be subscribed to by AUSPECT Investment PTY Ltd.
“The settlement date has now been agreed as 30 December 2022.”
