Proposed Reduction of the Share Premium Account and Notice of General Meeting
Jubilee, the Zambia copper focused producer, announces the Company's proposal to reduce
its share premium account (Capital Reduction) in order to restructure the Company's balance
sheet so as to increase the amount of available distributable reserves available (subject to the
protection of creditors). The Company furthermore expects to release the phase 1 drill results
of its Molefe Mine operations on Tuesday 24 March 2026.
The Capital Reduction will create distributable reserves to support the Company's ability to
make future payments of dividends to its shareholders and undertake potential share
buybacks (in each case should circumstances mean it is appropriate or desirable to do so),
as well as other corporate purposes of the Company.
The Capital Reduction is conditional upon passing of a special resolution by the Company's
shareholders in addition to approval of the Court.
In addition, the Company is also seeking to renew the standard authority to grant Directors
authority to issue shares as granted at the previous 2024 AGM and to dis-apply pre-emption
rights. The Company wishes to dis-apply pre-emption rights only to a maximum of 7.5% of the
issued ordinary share capital of the Company. The Dis-application Resolution is to give
flexibility to the Company to issue new warrants, options or shares to support the Company
when leveraging investment capital and aligning employees' and stakeholders' interests with
shareholders of the Company.
Notice is hereby given of the General Meeting of the Company to be held at 11.00 a.m. (UK
time), 12.00 p.m. (SA time) on Wednesday, 8 April 2026 at Fieldfisher LLP, Riverbank House,
2 Swan Lane, London EC4R 3TT to consider and vote on the resolutions.
The circular containing the notice of General Meeting (notice of General Meeting) will be
published and posted to shareholders on 23 March 2026. A copy of the circular containing the
notice of General Meeting is also available on the Company's website
at https://jubileemetalsgroup.com/circulars/.
Subject to both the passing of the special resolution at the General Meeting and the court
approving the Capital Reduction, it is expected that the effective date of the share premium
reduction will be on or around 29 April 2026.
The Capital Reduction will not, of itself, involve any distribution or return of capital to any
shareholder and will not reduce the Company's underlying assets. The completion of the
Capital Reduction will not affect the rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares and will not result
in any change to the number of Ordinary Shares in issue (or their nominal value).
