Disclosure required under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4(b) and 3.10.5A

In relation to the Placement, and in accordance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4(b) and 3.10.5A the Company makes the following disclosures:

  • (a) The Company will issue a total of 15,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at 5 cents per share and 15,000,000 unquoted Options. Of the securities issued, 13,548,628 fully paid ordinary shares will be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A and the remaining 1,451,372 shares and 15,000,000 unquoted options will be issued under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A result in the following dilution to existing holders of ordinary securities:

  • Number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue prior to the placement of securities under LR 7.1A was 135,486,287.

  • Number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue following this issue of securities under LR 7.1A will be 149,034,915 (a total of 150,486,287 including the issue under LR 7.1).

  • (b) The Company will issue shares as a placement to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors. The issue will be made as a placement and not as a pro-rata issue or other type of issue in which existing shareholders would have been able to participate. This approach has been taken as it considered that the issue, being carried out as part of the Placement, is the most cost-efficient and expedient method available at the time for raising, at an appropriate price, the funds required by the Company to achieve its objectives, given the funding certainty, strong investor enquiry and the pricing achieved under the Placement.

  • (c) No underwriting arrangements were entered into in relation to the placement under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • (d) Fees of 6% of the total funds raised under the Placement are due to be paid.
