Dear fellow Shareholder,
NON-RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE
As we commence a new financial year the Artemis team has re-assessed its projects with a view to economically furthering their development to add maximum value to shareholders.
Our consensus view is that this is best done in the coming year by:
-
Drilling of the West Pilbara base metals prospects which have refined Ground EM targets
-
Drilling of the West Pilbara, Carlow Castle gold project to expand the size of the existing resource
-
Drilling on the newly acquired West Pilbara, Weerianna gold project to expand the size of the existing resource
-
Further drill testing of the high grade zone at the Eastern Hills antimony project
To continue to progress our operations and deliver value from the projects as outlined above, the Company has a requirement to raise additional funds. As recently advised (refer ASX announcement, 27 June 2014), Artemis announced a partially underwritten non-renounceable pro rata, one for two rights issue to shareholders to raise up to $1.27 million (before costs) ( Offer ). Funds raised under the Offer will be used to contribute towards the exploration outlined above and provide operational funds for the year ahead.
The Offer is partially and conditionally underwritten in the amount of approximately $542,000 by Armengael Investments Limited ( Underwriter ) who has shown particular interest in the West Pilbara project. The Underwriter will receive an underwriting fee of 6% on the underwritten amount. Shareholders will be given the opportunity of additional participation in the event that there is a shortfall, pro rata to their shareholding. Shareholders with less than a marketable parcel will have a unique opportunity as they will be given preference in participating in the shortfall offer to allow them to increase their holding to a tradeable amount.
A prospectus for the Offer has been lodged with the ASIC on 1 July 2014 and will be dispatched to Eligible Shareholders shortly after the Record Date. Eligible Shareholders should consider the prospectus carefully in deciding whether to participate in the Offer, and will need to complete the personalised entitlement and acceptance form accompanying the prospectus to take up their entitlements.
Details of the Rights Issue Offer
The offer applies to shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand ( Eligible Shareholders ) and may result in the issue of up to approximately 425.8 million fully paid ordinary shares on the basis of one (1) new share for every two (2) existing shares held as at 7:00pm (AEST) on 8 July 2014 ( Record Date ), at an issue price of $0.003 per share. Fractional entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The new shares issued pursuant to the Offer will rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company.
Shareholders taking up their entitlements will also benefit from free attaching options. The free attaching options will be issued to participating shareholders on the basis of one (1) new option for every four (4) new
