Shortfall

The Company reserves the right, subject to any restrictions imposed by the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, to issue Shares not subscribed for under the Entitlement Offer ( Shortfall Shares ) in accordance with the following allocation policy.

The maximum amount of Shortfall Shares that Eligible Shareholders may be issued is:

  • (a) the greater of three times that Eligible Shareholders' entitlement or $10,000 worth of Shortfall Shares;

  • (b) if there is insufficient Shortfall Shares to satisfy the applications made in accordance with paragraph (a) above, the applications will be scaled back on a pro rata basis;

  • (c) if any Shortfall Shares are remaining after the applications made in accordance with paragraph (a) above are satisfied, the Directors reserve the discretion to place any such remaining Shortfall Shares within three months after the close of the Entitlement Offer;

  • (d) Directors and related parties will not be issued with any Shortfall Shares; and

  • (e) no Shortfall Shares will be issued if their issue would contravene the takeover prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act.

Junior Mineral Exploration Incentive

The Company is a participant of the Federal Government's Junior Mineral Exploration Incentive (JMEI) scheme.

The JMEI scheme allows persons who are required to lodge a tax return in Australia and who apply for and are issued shares as part of the Company's capital raising activities between 23 April 2018 and 30 June 2018 ( JMEI Eligible Shareholders ) to receive JMEI credits from the Australian Tax Office ( ATO ). JMEI credits entitle JMEI Eligible Shareholders to refundable tax offsets (for individual shareholders or superannuation funds) or franking credits (for companies).

JMEI credits will be distributed to all eligible investors on a pro-rata basis of up to the approved total allocation of $181,500. Receiving a JMEI credit could have tax consequences and shareholders should obtain independent tax advice specific to their personal circumstances.

These JMEI credits will apply to the 2017/2018 tax year and will be issued by DevEx after lodgement of its 30 June 2018 tax return. JMEI Eligible Shareholders are expected to be notified by the Company of their JMEI credit entitlement in the approved form by 30 September 2018, and the JMEI credits will apply to their income tax assessment for the year ended 30 June 2018.
