Issue of Ordinary Shares

Ace Liberty and Stone Plc (AQSE: ALSP), the active property investment company, capitalising on commercial property investment opportunities across the UK, today announces that the Company has issued 4,421,094 Ordinary Shares in respect of shareholder loan repayments.

During 2019, the Company drew down loans from several of its shareholders to a total value of £3,200,000. The loans carry an interest rate of 7% and had a term of two years. The loans are unsecured.

The Company is pleased to announce that £2,200,000 of the loans have been converted into shares at a price of 50p per share, resulting in 4,400,000 Ordinary Shares being issued.

In connection with this repayment a total of £10,548 of interest was due on the loans which have been repaid. This was also converted into shares and as a result 21,094 Ordinary Shares have been issued.

Following these allotments, the total number of issued shares and the total number of voting rights in the Company is 58,466,295. The total issued share capital is now £14,616,574.

The above figure of 58,466,295 should be used by shareholders in the Company 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 share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
