(“BWA” or “the Company”)     

Director’s Holding in the Company

BWA Group plc [AQSE: BWAP], which has mineral exploration licences split between Canada and Cameroon at various stages of development and is quoted on London’s AQSE Growth Market (formerly NEX), announces that Mr Richard Battersby, the Chairman, is now interested in 48,049,466 ordinary shares of 0.5 pence each in the capital of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”), representing approximately 15.89 per cent of the issued Ordinary Shares.

This increase is a result of the members voluntary liquidation of a private investment company in which Bath Group Limited (“Bath”, Mr Battersby’s private investment company which holds the majority of the BWA shares in which he is interested) held a minority interest (the “PIC”). The PIC had a holding of Ordinary Shares which have now been distributed pro-rata to its former shareholders.  The members voluntary liquidation of the PIC took place in 2015, however due to an administrative error at the nominee company used by both Bath and PIC, Mr Battersby has only just become aware of the increase in Bath’s holding. Bath’s holding of Ordinary Shares has increased by 530,486, approximately 0.18 per cent (with a value of approximately £3,700 at yesterday’s closing mid-market price).  The distribution was made by transfer within the books of the nominee company and was not recorded in those of Bath in error.
