Details of the Placing and Notice of GM The Placing Shares and Subscription Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends or other distributions made, paid or declared in respect of such shares after the date of issue of the Placing Shares and Subscription Shares. The Company will shortly be posting a circular to Shareholders convening a general meeting of the Company to be held on 13 November 2017 for the purpose of considering, inter alia, the necessary resolutions. Admission to Trading Application will be made, in due course, to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares and Subscription Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Subject to Shareholder approval of the Resolutions at the General Meeting, it is expected that Admission will occur and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 14 November 2017, at which time it is also expected that the New Ordinary Shares will be enabled for settlement in CREST. Share capital following the Placing and Subscription Following admission of the Placing Shares and Subscription Shares, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 141,759,518 Ordinary Shares with voting rights in the Company. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or change in the interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. Save as otherwise defined, capitalised items used in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the announcement released by the Company this morning at 7.00 a.m. Further Announcement A further announcement will be made shortly, containing, inter alia, details on the following matters: The Open Offer; and The General Meeting Ahmet Dik, Chief Executive Officer of Victoria Oil & Gas commented: The additional capital secured from institutional investors will enable VOG to accelerate growth into the high-demand power market in the Douala region. Utilising funds from equity investment, alongside reinvested cashflow and debt, VOG intends to significantly increase the reserves available for gas supply and reduce costs through the development of new fields, such as Matanda and Bomono. The completion of this process will allow the Company to take a significant step towards achieving our production expansion goal of 100mmscf/d by 2021."
