Results of Rump Placing

 

 

Following the announcement earlier today regarding valid acceptances under the partially underwritten Rights Issue announced by Hochschild Mining plc (the "Company") on 4 November 2015, the Company confirms that J.P. Morgan Cazenove, BofA Merrill Lynch and RBC Capital Markets, in their capacity as Joint Bookrunners, have procured subscribers for all of the 2,994,303 New Ordinary Shares for which valid acceptances were not received, representing 2.17% of New Ordinary Shares, at a price of 70 pence per New Ordinary Share.

 

The net proceeds from the placing of such New Ordinary Shares (after the deduction of the Issue Price of 47 pence per New Ordinary Share and the expenses of the Rights Issue) will be paid (without interest) to those persons whose rights have lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Rights Issue, pro rata to their lapsed provisional allotments, save that individual amounts of less than £5 will not be paid to such persons but will be paid to the Company.
