Closing of Private Placement

 

As previously disclosed in a Form 6-K filed by ESGL Holdings Limited (the “Company”) on April 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement dated March 27, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company shall issue in a private placement up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 ordinary shares to the Purchaser at a purchase price of US$0.25 per share. The initial closing under the Purchase Agreement took place on March 28, 2024 pursuant to which the Purchaser purchased 2,000,000 ordinary shares. The second and final closing under the Purchase Agreement took place on April 3, 2024 pursuant to which the Purchaser purchased 8,000,000 ordinary shares. The Company received gross proceeds of $2,500,000 in the private placement. The Company shall use 85% of the net proceeds received from the private placement for working capital and general corporate purposes and the remaining 15% to pay outstanding professional fees.

 

The ordinary shares were offered 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”). The Company has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file a resale registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the ordinary shares issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for resale on behalf of the Purchaser. 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 was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 6-K filed by the Company on April 1, 2024 and is incorporated herein by reference.
