The Company is now pleased to announce a Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ) which will allow existing eligible holders of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company to apply for up to 600,000 shares (A$30,000) at the same price ($0.05 per share) as participants in the Placement.

SPP details

The SPP will involve the issue of up to 34m new fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.05 per share to raise gross proceeds of up to $1,700,000. The issue price represents a 9.2% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average price of BlackEarth shares traded on the ASX immediately prior to 1 October 2020.

Each individual with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand who was registered as a holder of fully paid ordinary shares in BlackEarth at 7.00 pm (WST) on 2 October 2020 ( Record Date ) and who is not acting for the benefit or account of a person in the United States will be eligible to participate in the SPP.

If total applications for the SPP exceed $1,700,000, the Company reserves the right to close the SPP early or scale back applications in its absolute discretion.

Further details of the SPP will be included in an SPP Offer Document ( Offer Document ). The Company currently expects to release the Offer Document on ASX and distribute it to eligible shareholders on 5 October 2020.
