Half Year Results and Announcement of a Share Purchase Plan
AMCIL recently released its results for the half year to 31 December 2015. Full details will be outlined in the Half Year Shareholder Review which will be sent to shareholders on 16 February 2016.
In brief key features of the result were:
-
Profit for the half year was $5.1 million, up 79.9% from $2.8 million in the previous corresponding period. The increase was due to the improved contribution from the Trading Portfolio, which increased substantially in value over the period.
-
In line with previous years the Board has not declared an interim dividend.
-
AMCIL’s portfolio return, including dividends paid, was positive 7.4% over the half year to the end of December whereas the S&P/ASX 200 index was negative 0.5% over the corresponding period. The table below outlines returns over different periods to

In addition to the release of the result Directors also announced a Share Purchase Plan (the Plan). The Company is close to being fully invested and Directors believe the recent fall in the market has driven valuations back toward more attractive buying levels. The additional equity raised will be used for general investment purposes.

-
You may acquire parcels of shares up to the value of either A$500, A$1,000, A$2,500, A$5,000, A$7,500, A$10,000, A$12,500 or A$15,000. There are no transaction costs payable by shareholders on the issue of shares under the Plan.
-
Shares issued under the Plan will rank equally with existing shares and for all dividends announced in respect of the 2015/2016 financial year.
-
The Plan issue price will be at a 2.5% discount to the volume-weighted average price of AMCIL shares traded on the Australian Securities Exchange and Chi-X Australia automated trading systems over the 5 trading days up to, and including, the day on which the Plan offer is scheduled to close (25 February 2016), rounded down to the nearest cent. AMCIL will announce the final issue price after the Plan offer closes.
-
Applications must be received by 5.00pm (AEDT) on Thursday 25 February 2016. If you wish to participate you can fill out the enclosed application form and attach a cheque or bank draft to the acceptance slip and mail it in the enclosed reply paid envelope.

If an Eligible Shareholder applies for (i) a value of shares that is higher than provided for in the application form, the maximum number of shares under the Plan will be issued and the excess amount paid will be refunded without interest; or (ii) for a value of shares that is not designated on the application form, the number of shares issued will be the highest designated value of shares that is less than the cheque, bank draft or BPAY® (registered to BPAY Pty Ltd ABN 69 079 137 518) amount received and the excess amount paid will be refunded without interest. The Plan will not be underwritten and it is not proposed that there be any scale back of applications under the Plan.
