ST HELIER, Jersey, March 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc (NYSE AMERICAN: CMCL; AIM: CMCL; VFEX: CMCL) (“Caledonia” or the “Company”) today announces that it proposes to raise approximately £8.1 million (approximately US$10 million) (before expenses), pursuant to a placing (the “Placing”) of new common shares of no par value (the “Placing Shares”) at a price per Placing Share of £11.15 (approximately US$13.74) (the “Placing Price”). The Placing Price is equivalent to a discount of 13.2% to the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on AIM, the market operated by London Stock Exchange plc (“LSE”) on 23 March 2023, being the latest practicable date prior to this announcement, and a discount of 3.0% to the volume weighted average price on AIM for the 30 trading days to 23 March 2023.

The Placing is being conducted in the UK and South Africa through an accelerated bookbuilding process (the “Bookbuild”), which is being managed by Cenkos Securities plc (“Cenkos”) and Liberum Capital Limited (“Liberum”) in the UK, and The Standard Bank of South Africa Limited (“Standard Bank”) in South Africa (together the “Joint Bookrunners”).

In addition to the Placing, IH Securities (Private) Limited (“IH Securities”) is undertaking on behalf of the Company a placing in Zimbabwe of Zimbabwe depositary receipts (“ZDRs”) to raise approximately £2.4 million (approximately US$3 million) at, or at not less than, the Placing Price (the “Zimbabwe Placing” and, together with the Placing, the “Fundraise”). The Zimbabwe Placing will allow investors local to the Company’s operations the opportunity to participate.

The Bookbuild will open with immediate effect following release of this announcement. The number of Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing will be agreed by the Joint Bookrunners and the Company following the close of the Bookbuild. The timing of the closing of the Bookbuild, the amount to be raised and allocations are at the sole discretion of Joint Bookrunners and the Company. Details of the number of Placing Shares to be issued will be announced as soon as practicable after the close of the Bookbuild. The Zimbabwe Placing will also open with immediate effect following release of this announcement and is expected to remain open until 12.00 p.m. on 31 March 2023. The Company will make a further announcement confirming the result of the Zimbabwe Placing as soon as practicable after it has closed. Members of the public are not entitled to participate in the Fundraise.

Current trading and activity

The Company today released its operating and financial results for the full year ending 31 December 2022 (“FY 2022”) and Management’s Discussions and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the quarter ended 31 December 2022 (“Q4”), including the events occurring after the period end, a summary of which is as follows:

  • The Company performed in line with market expectations in FY 2022, reporting gross revenues of US$142 million and EBITDA of US$50.4 million;
  • In January 2023 the Company completed the acquisition of the Bilboes gold project in Zimbabwe;
  • During Q4, the Company completed the acquisition of a business owning the mining lease for Motapa, a property contiguous to the Bilboes gold project with the potential for exploration and processing synergies; and
  • Gold production guidance for 2023 is between 87,500 – 97,000 ounces and comprises:
    • 75,000 – 80,000 ounces from Blanket Mine1
    • 12,500 – 17,000 from the oxide operation at Bilboes2

Further information of the Company’s current trading and activity can be found in the Company’s announcement released at 7.00 a.m. UK time on 24 March 2023.

Rationale for the Fundraise and Use of Proceeds

The net proceeds of the Fundraise, together with the Company's existing cash reserves and the future cash to be generated from its ownership of the producing and cash generative Blanket Mine and from the Bilboes oxide operation, will strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and provide the Company with working capital flexibility to accelerate planned work at the three new gold projects it is currently undertaking in Zimbabwe.

Bilboes

Bilboes was acquired by the Company in January 2023 for a value of approximately US$65.7 million as at the date of completion, payable in Common Shares. As announced on 21 July 2022, Bilboes has NI 43-101 compliant proven and probable mineral reserves of 1.96 million ounces of gold in 26.64 million tonnes at a grade of 2.29 g/t, measured and indicated mineral resources of 2.56 million ounces of gold in 35.18 million tonnes at a grade of 2.26 g/t and inferred mineral resources of 577,000 ounces of gold in 9.48 million tonnes at a grade of 1.89 g/t3. Bilboes has produced approximately 288,000 ounces of gold since 1989. The first gold from Bilboes under Caledonia’s ownership is due to be produced at the end of March 2023.

Approximately US$2 million of the net proceeds of the Fundraise are anticipated to be used to fund a new feasibility study to investigate commercialisation of Bilboes, possibly through a phased development approach. If successful, this would reduce the initial capital investment and also reduce the need for third party funding. A further US$2 million is expected to be used for the procurement of a management facility at Bulawayo which will be used to provide shared services for Blanket Mine and also for the projects at both Bilboes and Motapa.

Motapa

Caledonia acquired the Motapa gold exploration project in Southern Zimbabwe in November 2022 for US$8.25 million in cash and loan notes. As previously announced, Motapa is a large exploration property which is contiguous to the Bilboes gold project and approximately 75km north of Bulawayo. The Company believes the proximity to Bilboes will allow prospects of synergies in the evaluation of the geological potential for Motapa and, in due course, gold processing operations in the mining areas.

The mining lease for Motapa covers approximately 2,200 hectares, and approximately US$6 million of the net proceeds of the Fundraise is expected to be used for further exploration of the area.

Maligreen

Acquired in November 2021 for US$4 million, the Maligreen mining claims are situated in the Gweru mining district in the Zimbabwe Midlands. The property contains NI 43-101 measured and indicated mineral resources of 442,000 ounces of gold in 8.03 million tonnes at 1.71 g/t and inferred mineral resources of 420,000 ounces of gold in 6.17 million tonnes at 2.12 g/t4.

Approximately US$2 million of the net proceeds of the Fundraise are expected be used for drilling and exploration of the claims.

Details of the Placing

The Placing is subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix (which forms part of this announcement, such announcement and the Appendix together the "Announcement").

Application will be made to the NYSE American for approval to issue the Placing Shares and to the LSE for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that admission to trading on AIM (“Admission”) will become effective and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on 30 March 2023.

The Placing Shares will be issued and credited as fully paid and will rank in full for all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the admission of those Placing Shares and will otherwise rank on Admission pari passu in all respects with each other and with the existing Common Shares in the Company.

The Placing is conditional upon, inter alia, Admission taking place by no later than 8.00 a.m. on 30 March 2023 (or such later date as the Joint Bookrunners may agree in writing with the Company, being not later than 8.00 a.m. on 28 April 2023) and the Placing Agreement entered into between the Company and Joint Bookrunners not being terminated prior to Admission. If any of the conditions of the Placing Agreement are not satisfied, the Placing Shares will not be issued and Admission will not take place.

The Company, in conjunction with the Joint Bookrunners, reserves the right to accept over-subscriptions for Placing Shares and to determine the maximum number of Placing Shares that will be issued in the Placing.  

The Placing Shares have not been made available to the public and have not been offered or sold in any jurisdiction where it would be unlawful to do so.

Details of the Zimbabwe Placing

Application will be made to the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange (“VFEX”) for the ZDRs to be admitted to trading. It is expected that admission to trading on VFEX (“VFEX Admission”) will become effective and that dealings in the ZDRs will commence on VFEX at 8.00 a.m. on or no later than 7 April 2023.

The ZDRs will be issued and credited as fully paid and will rank in full for all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the admission of those ZDRs and will otherwise rank on VFEX Admission pari passu in all respects with each other and with the existing common shares (or depositary interests as applicable) in the Company.

The Zimbabwe Placing is conditional upon, inter alia, VFEX Admission taking place by no later than 8.00 a.m. on 7 April 2023 (or such later date as IH Securities may agree in writing with the Company, being not later than 8.00 a.m. on 12 April 2023).

IH Securities and the Company reserve the right to accept over-subscriptions for ZDRs and to determine the maximum number of ZDRs that will be issued in the Zimbabwe Placing. The ZDRs have not been made available to the public and have not been offered or sold in any jurisdiction where it would be unlawful to do so.

UK Product Governance Requirements

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements of Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the “UK Product Governance Requirements”) and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any “manufacturer” (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of (a) retail investors, (b) investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and (c) eligible counterparties, each as defined in UK Product Governance Requirements; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by UK Product Governance Requirements (the “UK Target Market Assessment”).

Notwithstanding the UK Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom.

The UK Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the UK Target Market Assessment, Cenkos and Liberum are severally only procuring investors in the United Kingdom which meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the UK Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of Chapter 9A or 10A respectively of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to, the Placing Shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

EU Product Governance Requirements

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "EU Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the EU Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of: (a) retail investors, (b) investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and (c) eligible counterparties (each as defined in MiFID II); and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "EU Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the EU Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The EU Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing.  In all circumstances Cenkos and Liberum severally will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the EU Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Placing Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

Placing Procedure

Placees shall acquire the Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing and any allocation of the Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing will be notified to them on or around 24 March 2023 (or such other time and/or date as the Company and the Joint Bookrunners may agree).

Payment in full for any Placing Shares so allocated in respect of the Placing at the Placing Price must be made by no later than 30 March 2023 (or such other date as shall be notified to each Placee by the relevant Joint Bookrunner) on the expected closing date of the Placing. The relevant Joint Bookrunner or the Company will notify Placees if any of the dates in these terms and conditions should change.

Registration and Settlement

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares following Admission of the Placing Shares will take place within the CREST system, subject to certain exceptions. The Joint Bookrunners and the Company reserve the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing Shares to Placees by such other means that they deem necessary if delivery or settlement is not possible within the CREST system within the timetable set out in this Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in the Placee's jurisdiction. Each Placee will be deemed to agree that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions which they have in place with a respective Joint Bookrunner.

Settlement for the Placing will be on a T+2 and delivery versus payment basis and settlement is expected to take place on or around 30 March 2023. Interest is chargeable daily on payments to the extent that value is received after the due date from Placees at the rate of 2 percentage points above the prevailing Sterling Overnight Index Average. Each Placee is deemed to agree that if it does not comply with these obligations, the relevant Joint Bookrunner may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to it on its behalf and retain from the proceeds, for its own account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, each Placee confers on the relevant Joint Bookrunner all such authorities and powers necessary to carry out any such sale and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which the relevant Joint Bookrunner lawfully takes in pursuance of such sale. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon any transaction in the Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf.

Please also note that the agreement to allot and issue Placing Shares to Placees (or the persons for whom Placees are contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax in the UK relates only to their allotment and issue to Placees, or such persons as they nominate as their agents, direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. Such agreement assumes that such Placing Shares are not being acquired in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to transfer such Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there were any such arrangements, or the settlement related to other dealing in such Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable, for which none of the Company nor the Joint Bookrunners would be responsible and Placees shall indemnify the Company and the Joint Bookrunners on an after-tax basis for any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax paid by them in respect of any such arrangements or dealings. Furthermore, each Placee agrees to indemnify on an after-tax basis and hold each of the Joint Bookrunners and/or the Company and their respective affiliates harmless from any and all interest, fines or penalties in relation to stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax and all other similar duties or taxes to the extent that such interest, fines or penalties arise from the unreasonable default or delay of that Placee or its agent. If this is the case, it would be sensible for Placees to take their own advice and they should notify the relevant Joint Bookrunner accordingly. In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any capital duty, stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the UK by them or any other person on the acquisition by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to acquire any Placing Shares.

Miscellaneous

The Company reserves the right to treat as invalid any application or purported application for Placing Shares that appears to the Company or its agents to have been executed, effected or dispatched from the United States or by, or on behalf of, a U.S. Person or from any other Excluded Territory or in a manner that may involve a breach of the laws or regulations of any jurisdiction or if the Company or its agents believe that the same may violate applicable legal or regulatory requirements or if it provides an address for delivery of the share certificates of Placing Shares in the United States, any other Excluded Territory, or any other jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom in which it would be unlawful to deliver such share certificates.

The Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from the relevant Joint Bookrunner's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by the relevant Joint Bookrunner in the course of their own business; and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of the relevant Joint Bookrunner.

Times

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to time are to London time. All times and dates in these terms and conditions may be subject to amendment. The Joint Bookrunners will notify Placees and any persons acting on behalf of the Placees of any changes.
