SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

  • Share Purchase Plan (SPP) to be offered to eligible shareholders on same terms as recent placements

  • Funding will be used to progress the Nowa Nowa Iron Project

  • Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) targeting completion in June with environmental permitting underway

Eastern Iron Limited (ASX:EFE) refers to the share placements announced on 6 March 2014 and 15 April 2014 to Harland Capital Fund LLC (“Harland”) which have raised a total of $701,400 at an issue price of $0.042 per share (“Placements”). Eastern Iron has also advised that Harland has an option to subscribe for a further 7,300,000 shares at $0.042 per share on or before 30 June 2014.

The issue price of the more recent Placement announced on 15 April 2014 represented a 14.3% discount to the 15 day volume-weighted average price of Eastern Iron’s shares traded on the ASX prior to the issue and represents a 6.7% discount to the last closing price of Eastern Iron shares on 28 April 2014.

Eastern Iron is pleased to announce that it will undertake a Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”) providing existing eligible shareholders on Eastern Iron’s share register at 7pm on 28 April 2014 with registered addresses in Australia and New Zealand with the opportunity to subscribe for up to $15,000 worth of Eastern Iron fully paid ordinary shares at the same price as the Placement ($0.042 cents per share), without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs.

Full details of the SPP will be sent to eligible shareholders in the coming days.

The purpose of the capital raising is to fund ongoing work on the Nowa Nowa Iron project including completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) and environmental studies carried out in preparation of an Environmental Effects Statement (EES).

Eastern Iron’s Managing Director, Greg De Ross commented: “It is encouraging that Eastern Iron received strong support for the recent placements from Harland. We are now providing shareholders with the opportunity, through the SPP, to increase their participation as we progress the Nowa Nowa Iron Project towards development.”
