Share Purchase Plan Completed

Allotments have been completed by Sovereign Gold Company Limited’s (Sovereign Gold) with respect to the 2015 Share Purchase Plan (SPP).

Subscriptions received were in excess of $220,000, which at the SPP price would have resulted in the issue of 137.5 million shares.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 15) provides that the number of securities to be issued cannot be greater than 30% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities already on issue. Accordingly the maximum number of securities that could be issued was 91,579,730, necessitating a scale back. Accordingly only $146,527 was raised.

In determining the scale back the directors allotted 100% to all applications of $2,000 or less; all other applications were allotted 70% of their requested application. Applications by directors were reduced by a further 303,885 shares.

Following the allotment of the SPP shares there are 396,845,499 shares on issue.

Holding statements will be mailed on 23 April 2015 and refund cheques will be mailed on 28 April 2015.

Sovereign Gold’s Managing Director said: “The Sovereign Board and staff acknowledge this impressive shareholder support at this important time development.”
