$3 Million Placement and Proposed Board Appointments
Enegex Limited (ASX: ENX) ( ENX or Company ) is pleased to announce that it has received firm commitments to place $3 million (before costs) via a share placement ( Placement ). As part of the Placement and subject to shareholder approval, ENX will appoint Mr Roger Steinepreis and Mr Nick Castleden to the Board.
Placement
The Placement will result in the issue of 200 million fully paid ordinary shares ( Shares ) at a price of 1.5 cents per Share and will be subject to shareholder approval. The Shares will rank pari passu with existing shares.
Roger Steinepreis will subscribe for 26.66 million Shares (commitment of $400,000) and as part of his subscription receive 25 million free attaching options (12.5 million exercisable at 2 cents and 12.5 million exercisable at 4 cents, with a 4-year term) and Nick Castleden will subscribe for 16 million Shares (commitment of $240,000) and as part of his subscription receive 25 million free attaching options (same option terms as Mr Steinepreis).
New Director Appointments
It is proposed to appoint Nick Castleden as a Non-Executive Director. Nick is a geologist with over 25 years of experience in the mineral exploration and development industry. Most recently, Nick was the Managing Director of Apollo Consolidated Limited ( Apollo ) which was acquired by Ramelius Resources Limited ( Ramelius ) in an agreed takeover, which valued Apollo at circa $180 million. Since that time, Nick has been appointed as the CEO and Managing Director of Solstice Minerals Limited.
As a separate appointment, it is proposed to appoint Roger Steinepreis as Non-Executive Chairman and Geoff Albers will resign his position post the shareholder meeting. Roger is a corporate and resources lawyer and Executive Chairman of Perth based corporate law firm, Steinepreis Paganin. He has practised as a lawyer for over 30 years, acting as legal advisor to a number of public companies, particularly in the energy and resources sector, on a wide range of corporate matters. Roger was recently on the board of Apollo with Mr Castleden, where he was Non-Executive Chairman prior to the Ramelius takeover noted above and is also a NonExecutive Director of Meeka Metals Limited and Metalicity Limited.
Enegex Chairman and Major Shareholder, Mr Geoff Albers said: “ I am delighted that Roger and Nick have accepted our offer to invest substantial capital and time in Enegex, and we welcome them to the Board and as significant shareholders. This is a very exciting development for the Company and a strong endorsement of the Company’s potential and its future.”
