**[Cadence Minerals](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/company/cadence-minerals-plc/kdnc.l)
plc** (LON:KDNC) has announced that it has raised £1.25 million through the placing
of 10,416,662 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company with new and existing
investors at an issue price of 12 pence per share, representing approximately 21.7%
discount to closing mid-price on 19 August 2020.

**Use of Proceeds**

Cadence intends to use the net proceeds of the Placing for general working capital
and to provide flexibility to the Company to repay loan notes from cash reserves
rather than from its holdings in quoted investments. The outstanding balance on 
Cadence’s loan notes, which were announced on 15 June 2019 and 1 August 2019, is
currently c. £1.7 million.

**Operational Update**

As announced on the 11 August, Companhia Docas de Santana (“CDSA”), a public (municipal)
company and the port operator requested some additional non-statutory contractual
requirements and undertakings. DEV has provided the requested documentation, and
continues to liaise with the State of Amapa and SEMA (Secretaria de Estado de Meio
Ambiente). Cadence understands that SEMA will provide the required documentation
imminently. Cadence will provide an update once the first shipment is underway.

**Funding Details**

The Company entered into a placing agreement with WH Ireland pursuant to which terms
WH Ireland agreed to arrange the Placing. The Company has given certain customary
warranties and indemnities under the Placing Agreement in favour of WH Ireland. 
Completion of the Placing is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained
in the Placing Agreement including, but not limited to, Admission.

The Appendix to this Announcement contains the detailed terms and conditions of 
the Placing and the basis on which investors agreed to participate in the Placing.

with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue in the capital of the Company, including
the right to receive all dividends and other distributions (if any) declared, made
or paid on or in respect of such shares after the date of their issue.

**Admission and Settlement**

Application will be made for the admission to trading on the AIM market of London
Stock Exchange plc and to the AQSE Growth Market operated by Aquis Exchange Plc 
for the Placing Shares. Admission is expected to occur on or around 27 August 2020.
Following Admission, the Company will have 140,219,053 Ordinary Shares in issue.
