SMALL-CAP - LOSERS
----------
Atlas Metals Group PLC, down 58% at 11.88p, 12-month range 7.20p-7,780.00p. The natural resources and energy investor, formerly known as MetalNRG, reports the termination of its agreement to buy Compagnie Miniere de Oumejrane from Moroccan mining group Managem SA. Atlas signed a sale and purchase agreement in October to purchase CMO. However, it has since been unable to raise the £15 million it needed to complete the deal, due to feedback from prospective investors during a planned equity placing. Managem has therefore terminated the agreement with immediate effect. Atlas is exploring alternative options to salvage the deal, but acknowledges that ‘there can be no certainty that the transaction will be successfully completed’.
