Touchstone Exploration Inc (TXP) NPV (DI)

What is happening?

Touchstone Exploration (TXP) have announced their intention to raise up to £7m via a Placing for institutional investors and a Retail Offer for individual investors.

Touchstone Exploration (TXP) have decided not to issue a prospectus as part of the fundraising. This means the Offer may only be open for a very short period, can close at any time without prior warning, and information can be limited to the Company

announcement.

Key Details

• Applications are scheduled to close at 3:30pm on Tuesday 28 October. However, due to the nature of the fundraising, applications can close at any time without prior warning.

• Shares are being offered at a fixed price of 11 pence.

• The minimum application for the Retail Offer is £100.

• The Retail Offer is capped at a maximum of £1,000,000, meaning that if the total value of applications received by the Issuer exceeds this figure, a scaling back policy is likely to be applied.

• Hargreaves Lansdown will receive 0.6% commission on the total allocation from the issuer as part of the Offer.

• By applying for shares in the Offer you are deemed to have read, understood and agreed to the HL Retail Offer Terms and Conditions, HL Retail Offer Risk Warning and the Company Announcement. These documents can be found in the Secure Messaging Centre of your online account.

Your shares are due to be credited on Thursday 30 October. However, this may be delayed in the event the company fails to deliver your shares to us by this time.

To assist the Company during the allocation process, we may be required to disclose the number of Touchstone Exploration (TXP) shares you hold with Hargreaves Lansdown. We’ll do this by calculating the shares held in your Hargreaves Lansdown account at the close of business on Monday 27 October.

It should be noted that an application for the shares and any investment in the Company carry a number of risks. Investors should carry out their own investigations into the merits of an investment in the Company.
