The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by the Company’s largest shareholder, CUD, which currently holds a 60.56% interest in EME. If no other shareholders take up their shares under the Rights Issue and all Rights Issue Shares are issued to the underwriter, this will result in CUD increase its holding up to approximately a 71.08% interest in EME.
The proceeds of the Rights Issue will be used to further advance its interests in Bigrlyi Uranium Project and the Ngalia regional prospects in the Northern Territory. This will involve expansive exploratory drilling programs, various investigations, and evaluation studies. The increasing exploration work aims to progress the Bigrlyi Uranium Project towards the feasibility and development stage at a more rapid rate.
The Company also plans to pursue potential acquisition opportunities for additional uranium prospects that it has identified in the current market.
Eligible Shareholders may also elect to participate in the shortfall facility and apply for new shares in excess of their pro rata entitlements under the Rights Issue. Any final shortfall will be subscribed by CUD. Further information on the underwriting arrangements will be set out in the Offer Document.
Full details of the Rights Issue are set out in the Offer Document and Appendix 3B lodged with the ASX and dispatched to Eligible Shareholders in accordance with the below timetable.
Eligible Shareholders who wish to acquire shares under the Rights Issue should consider the Offer Document carefully and must complete the personalised entitlement and acceptance form attached to the Offer Document, a copy of which will be sent to Eligible Shareholders.
