Tekmar Group (AIM: TGP), a leading provider of technology and services for the global offshore energy markets, is pleased to announce that all resolutions put to Shareholders at the General Meeting held earlier today in connection with the Proposals, were duly passed.

The Placing and Retail Offer remains conditional, inter alia, upon Admission and the Placing Agreement not being terminated in accordance with its terms. The Subscription remains conditional upon Admission.

Issue of equity

The Company has therefore raised approximately £6.39 million (before expenses) through the Placing, Subscription and Retail Offer. Tekmar has issued and allotted 22,222,222 Placing Shares, 47,505,458 Subscription Shares and 1,273,164 Retail Shares. The Company has also issued and allotted 4,075,788 Management Shares to certain members of the senior management team, including Alasdair MacDonald the Group Chief Executive Officer, in settlement as part of their annual bonus payments.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for 75,076,632 New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on 20 April 2023.

The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the Existing Ordinary Shares.

Total voting rights

Following Admission, the Company will have 136,036,866 Ordinary Shares in issue. No shares are held in treasury, therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company following Admission will be 136,036,866.

Shareholders may use this figure as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the issued share capital of the Company, under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Concert Party Holdings

Members of the Concert party will own 47,505,458 Ordinary Shares, 34.92 per cent. of the voting rights of the Company. Assuming exercise in full by the members of the Concert Party of conversion rights under the Convertible Loan Note Instrument, including the capitalisation of all accrued interest (and assuming that no other person converts any convertible securities or exercises any options or any other right to subscribe for shares in the Company), the members of the Concert Party would be interested in a maximum of 233,712,355 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 72.53 per cent. of the enlarged voting rights of the Company. A table showing the respective individual interests in shares of the members of the Concert Party on completion of the Proposals and following the exercise of the conversion rights of the Convertible Loan Notes is set out below:
