Dear Shareholder,
NON-RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE
On 15 October 2018, Carbonxt Group Limited (Carbonxt or the Company) announced it is undertaking a non-renounceable rights issue ( Entitlement Offer ) of 1 fully paid ordinary share in Carbonxt ( New Shares ) for every 4 ordinary shares held at an issue price of $0.40 per New Share to raise up to approximately $7.3 million before costs of the Entitlement Offer. Fractional entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest number of whole New Shares.
The Entitlement Offer will be made by way of an offer document pursuant to section 708AA of the Corporations Act ( Offer Booklet ), meaning that Carbonxt will not issue a prospectus for the Entitlement Offer. Instead, the Offer Booklet will detail the terms of the Entitlement Offer and will be sent to Eligible Shareholders on or about Monday 22 October 2018, together with a personalised entitlement and acceptance form.
The Entitlement Offer is open to all eligible shareholders ( Eligible Shareholders ) who:
-
are registered as a holder of shares in Carbonxt as at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday 18 October 2018 ( Record Date );
-
have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand;
-
are not in the United States and are not a US person or acting for the account of or on behalf of a person in the United States or a US person; and
-
are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer.
The price payable on application for each New Share is $0.40, representing a 23.1% discount to the last closing price of $0.52 on 10 October 2018.
The entitlements under the Entitlement Offer ( Entitlements ) are non-renounceable, which means that Eligible Shareholders do not have the right to sell their Entitlements. New Shares will be fully paid and will rank equally with Carbonxt’s existing issued fully paid ordinary shares.
The maximum number of New Shares to be issued under the Entitlement Offer is approximately 18.4 million (subject to the effect of rounding) which would raise approximately $7.3 million and would result in total issued shares in Carbonxt of 99,494,836 (if the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed and subject to the effect of rounding). (Note that the final shares on issue include approximately 7.5 million placement shares to be completed and to be issued on or before 22 October 2018).
The proceeds from the Entitlement Offer will be used by Carbonxt to fund capital expenditure and working capital to expand the Company’s production capacity in the activated carbon pellet (ACP) market. Carbonxt is one of only a handful of US manufacturers of ACP at a time when demand is significantly increasing due to uncertainty caused by trade tariffs on imported product.
The Entitlement Offer Lead Manager is Shaw and Partners Limited and the Entitlement Offer is not underwritten.
Directors’ recommendation
The Directors support the raising and recommend to shareholders that they fully participate in the Entitlement Offer.
