Memery Crystal is delighted to announce that it has advised Chariot Limited, the Africa-focused transitional energy company trading on AIM, on a $7 million fundraising through a conditional, oversubscribed placing and subscription, accompanied by an open offer to qualifying existing shareholders of a further $2 million. Following a successful shareholder meeting to approve the allotment of fundraising shares, the new shares have now been admitted to trading.

Fundraising

The Memery Crystal team was led by Corporate Partner Robert Bines-Black, who was assisted by Corporate Associate David McClellan and Trainee Solicitor Jack Rudgeley.

The net proceeds of the fundraising will be used by Chariot to strengthen its balance sheet, secure a material new venture opportunity and progress onshore gas commercialisation plans in Morocco to build a gas to industry supply.

Robert Bines-Black commented:

“It has been a pleasure to assist the excellent team at our long-standing client Chariot on a successful fundraising round, which was supported both by institutional and retail investors. Particularly impressive was the 197% take-up of the open offer to existing shareholders, which was scaled back to raise US$2 million.”

Julian Maurice-Williams, Chief Financial Officer of Chariot, commented:

“We are grateful to Robert Bines-Black, David McClellan and the Memery Crystal team for their support during this important fundraising for Chariot. As always it was a pleasure to work with them, and these funds provide us with a strong position to make further progress across our projects focused on energy transition in Africa.”
