The fundraising was anchored by a £600,000 placing to Nubuke, a high profile African focused fund.

DekelOil Executive Director Lincoln Moore said, “We are delighted to welcome Nubuke to our shareholder register.

We view this as a strong endorsement of our achievements to date, which have successfully brought us into first CPO production in the Cote d’Ivoire.

We look forward to moving into our next phase of development with the support of this prestigious African fund.” Nubuke Nubuke has subscribed for 40,000,000 new ordinary shares in DekelOil, equating to £600,000.

Founded in 2008, Nubuke Investments LLP has established itself as a niche alternative asset manager solely focused on African Markets.

Nubuke manages the Nubuke Africa Multi Strategy Fund, an African focused hedge fund with a fixed income and equity bias.

The fund differentiates itself from other vehicles offering exposure to Africa with investments in South Africa and Egypt representing no more than 50% of the fund’s assets, thereby providing a Pan-African diversified portfolio with exposure to a broad array of countries and sectors. Application is being made for the Placing Shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM.

In addition, the Company is also applying for the 43,913,713 new ordinary shares issued pursuant to the conversion of Loan Notes as announced on 6 January 2014 to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that the total of 90,580,379 new ordinary shares, which will rank, pari passu, in all respects with the Company’s existing ordinary shares of €0.00003367 each (‘Ordinary Shares’), will be admitted to trading on AIM on or around 27 February 2014 (‘Admission’). Total Voting Rights Following Admission, the Companys issued share capital will consist of 1,394,162,574 Ordinary Shares. ** ENDS ** For further information please visit the Company’s website www.dekeloil.com or contact: Youval Rasin
