==> picture [143 x 47] intentionally omitted <==
Phoenix Gold Limited ( ASX: PXG ) (“ Phoenix” or the “ Company” ) is pleased to advise that ASX has granted a waiver from Listing Rule 6.18, fulfilling a condition precedent to a proposed issue of shares associated with its strategic alliance with Evolution Mining Limited (ASX: EVN )(“ Evolution ”) announced on 1 May 2015.
ASX: PXG
Under the Share Subscription Agreement ( Agreement ), upon completion of the issue of the second tranche of shares to Evolution and subject to certain conditions, Evolution will have a right to participate in any new issues of shares in Phoenix. This will be on the same terms as other participants in that share issue, up to such additional number of equity securities as is sufficient to enable Evolution to maintain its ownership percentage in Phoenix. It will also be subject to compliance with any shareholder or regulatory approvals that may be required for any such issue.
Furthermore, the Company has been informed by Evolution that the Agreement is no longer subject to Evolution obtaining FIRB approval.
A Notice of Meeting to approve, amongst other things, the second tranche share issue to Evolution was dispatched to shareholders last week. The meeting is scheduled for 23 June 2015 at 10 am. The only remaining material conditions precedent[1] include:
-
Phoenix shareholder approval; and
-
the average daily spot price for gold not falling below A$1,300/oz for three consecutive days prior to completion of tranche 2.
“We are pleased to be advancing satisfaction of conditions precedent to the Agreement with Evolution. We look forward to the shareholder meeting in June where we aim to conclude the second tranche placement with Evolution and commence the accelerated exploration programme on our Zuleika project,” Executive Chairman Dale Rogers said.
The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of the resolution approving the issue of the second tranche shares to Evolution and each of the directors of Phoenix intend to vote any shares held by them in favour of that resolution.
