FINPROM Findings
5“"Retail Offer is available to both existing shareholders and new investors" ... "sign up here: https://www.retailbook.com/get-started" ... "No commission will be charged by RetailBook" ... "from tax efficient savings vehicles such as ISAs or SIPPs"”
The standalone RetailBook retail offer RNS combines open-to-all targeting (existing and new investors), ISA/SIPP tax wrapper highlighting, no-commission messaging, and a direct sign-up CTA. While individually standard, the combination creates an aggressive retail acquisition funnel.
“Second RetailBook-facilitated fundraise in approximately 4.5 months (Jun 2025 at 3.5p, Nov 2025 at 3.7p), both including retail offers via RetailBook.”
Two fundraises in under five months (June and November 2025) constitutes a rapid repeat raise pattern. While the issue price rose marginally, the frequency of retail capital calls is an area for improvement in assessing cumulative dilution.
“"Savannah will continue to evaluate the potential acquisition of the adjacent Aldeia Mining Lease" ... forward-looking statements throughout with 'expect' appearing 8 times”
Multiple forward-looking statements about project development, potential acquisitions, and timeline expectations. While standard for mining development companies, the frequency and optimistic tone in a fundraise context is an area for improvement.
“"This is a great inspiration for me and the team and we are firmly focused on delivering the Project for all our stakeholders and generating significant value...fulfilling the trust they have shown in us"”
CEO quote contains emotive promotional language ('great inspiration', 'tremendous progress', 'fulfilling the trust') in a result announcement. While common in CEO commentary, the tone is more promotional than informational for a financial promotion.
“"THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AMOUNTS TO A FINANCIAL PROMOTION FOR THE PURPOSES OF SECTION 21 OF THE FINANCIAL SERVICES AND MARKETS ACT 2000 ("FSMA") AND HAS BEEN APPROVED BY RETAIL BOOK LIMITED WHICH IS AUTHORISED AND REGULATED BY THE FCA (FRN 994238)"”
Correctly identifies the RNS as a financial promotion under s.21 FSMA and names RetailBook as the approving authorised person with FRN. This is good compliance practice.

LinkedIn Activity
1Savannah Resources' own LinkedIn page and Proactive Investors posted about multiple fundraises: a £9.2m oversubscribed placing and subscription (scaled back from higher demand), a £6.5m fundraise at market price made available to private investors via PrimaryBid (July 2023), a £6.1m placing and subscription, and a further £1m placing to a major shareholder. The retail offer component via PrimaryBid was highlighted as providing retail shareholder access. CEO also discussed Barroso lithium project funding on Proactive.
LinkedIn posts from company page: linkedin.com/company/savannah-resources-plc. Proactive post: linkedin.com/posts/proactive-investors_savannah-resources-ceo-outlines-way-forward-activity-7348705237223833601. Pattern of repeat raises with PrimaryBid retail component is consistent with the 'repeat raises' concern.
