Dear Sir/Madam
Pro-rata non-renounceable 1 for 2 Rights Issue to Eligible Shareholders
ASF Group Limited (ASX: AFA) is pleased to announce a pro-rata non-renounceable one (1) for two (2) rights issue of fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company. The offer is not underwritten.
As at the record date of Tuesday, 26 November 2013, the Company will offer Eligible Shareholders one (1) share for every two (2) shares held at $0.10 per share. Compared to the weighted average price of the Company’s shares on the ASX in the five trading days up to and including Thursday, 14 November 2013, of $0.152 (rounded to three decimal places), the offer price represents a discount of approximately 34%. Compared to the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on Thursday, 14 November 2013 also of $0.12, the offer price of $0.10 per share again represents a discount of approximately 17%.
Details of the Offer are contained in the offer document to be issued on Monday, 18 November 2013. The offer document and personalised acceptance forms will be mailed to Eligible Shareholders on Friday, 29 November 2013. The closing date for the offer will be Friday, 13 December 2013.
The Company currently has 326,606,287 shares on issue. The maximum number of securities that may be issued under the rights issue is 163,303,144 shares. Shares issued under the rights issue will rank equally with existing shares. The Company will apply for official quotation on ASX of the new shares.
The maximum amount raised by the Offer would be $16,330,314 if every Shareholder exercised its Rights to purchase New Shares, before expenses. The Offer is not underwritten and thus Directors are not able at this time to state the amount of funds the Offer will raise.
The Offer will be made to Eligible Shareholders in an Offer Document which includes a personalised entitlement and acceptance form (Application Form). The Offer Document provides further details on how to participate in the Offer.
The purpose of the Offer is to raise funds for working capital for the Company and to fund future investment opportunities of the Company.
The Offer Document is available on the Company's website at www.asfgroupltd.com and from the Company's registered office at Bennelong, 2/3B Macquarie Street, Sydney NSW 2000.
