PrimaryBid Offer

Beowulf (AIM: BEM), the mineral exploration and development company, is pleased to announce, the launch of a conditional offer for subscription via PrimaryBid (the "PrimaryBid Offer") of up to 104,000,000 new Ordinary Shares of 1 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at an issue price of 2.06 pence per new Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price"), being a discount of approximately 31.3 per cent. to the closing mid-price of the Ordinary Shares on 8 February 2023. The Company announced its intention to launch the PrimaryBid Offer on 25 January 2023. The PrimaryBid Offer is for a maximum of approximately £2.1 million before the deduction of transaction related costs.

The Company is also conducting a preferential rights issue of up to 316,681,938 Swedish Depository Receipts ("SDRs"). The SDRs represent interests in the Ordinary Shares and the preferential rights issue of SDRs will amount to approximately SEK 85.5 million (approximately £6.8 million) before deduction for transaction related costs (the "Rights Issue"). In addition, members of the Board and executive management have agreed to subscribe for a total of 8,800,481 new Ordinary Shares, equivalent of approximately £181,000 (the "Additional Subscription", together with the PrimaryBid Offer and the Rights Issue, the "Capital Raise").

The new SDRs will be offered at a price of SEK 0.27 per SDR.   As previously announced on 25 January 2023, the offer price for the SDRs and the Issue Price of 2.06 pence under the PrimaryBid Offer represent a discount of approximately 46 per cent. to the average daily weighted average price for the SDRs and the Ordinary Shares during a trading period of 15 business days ending on and including 24 January 2023. The Rights Issue will be open to Swedish investors at the same time as the opening of the subscription period for the PrimaryBid Offer. The Rights Issue will close at the same time as the PrimaryBid Offer, although the PrimaryBid Offer may close early if it is oversubscribed.

The Capital Raise is conditional on the shares to be issued pursuant to the Capital Raise being admitted to trading at or before 8.00 a.m. on 22 March 2023 ("Admission").  The PrimaryBid Offer will not be completed without the Rights Issue also being completed.

The Company will use the funds raised in the PrimaryBid Offer across Beowulf's projects and workstreams to further advance the Company's position and add value to the asset portfolio.
