Private Placement – Second Closing Option Exercised

 

As previously disclosed, on August 21, 2024, ESGL Holdings Limited (the “Company”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors named therein (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company issued in a private placement an aggregate of 13,800,000 ordinary shares to the Purchasers at a purchase price of US$0.29 per share. The closing of the private placement occurred on August 22, 2024 (the “Closing Date”) and the Company received gross proceeds of $4,002,000. For a period of three months following the Closing Date, Mr. Samuel Wu, one of the Purchasers, was granted the right to purchase up to an aggregate of $998,000 of additional ordinary shares on the same and terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Second Closing Option”).

 

On September 30, 2024, the Second Closing Option was exercised and the Company accordingly issued and sold to such Purchaser an additional 3,441,380 ordinary shares for gross proceeds to the Company of $998,000.

 

The ordinary shares were issued and sold by the Company in a private placement pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). As soon as practicable following the expiration of the Second Closing Option, the Company has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file a resale registration statement on Form F-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the ordinary shares issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for resale on behalf of the Purchasers. The Company also agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that all of the shares covered by such registration statement (i) have been sold thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144.

 

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to describe all of the terms and provisions thereof and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Purchase Agreement which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
