EXTENSION OF SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES

Evolution Mining Limited (" Evolution ") (ASX: EVN) advises that the closing date for the Share Purchase Plan (“ SPP ”) announced on 5 December 2023 will be extended from 16 January 2024 to 5.00pm 30 January 2024 (AEDT).

The extension of the SPP is to allow sufficient time for all eligible shareholders to participate and complete applications following the Christmas and New Year holiday period.

The SPP provides eligible shareholders in Australia and New Zealand with the opportunity to acquire up to A$30,000 worth of Evolution ordinary shares (" Shares ") without paying any brokerage costs, commission or other transaction costs.

Eligible shareholders participating in the SPP will be able to purchase shares at the lower of:

  • A$3.80 per Share, being the same price paid by institutional investors under the Placement announced on 5 December 2023; and

  • a 2.5% discount to the 5-day volume-weighted average price of Shares traded on the ASX up to, and including, the revised SPP Closing Date (30 January 2024) (rounded to the nearest cent).

The funds raised under the Placement will be used to partly fund the acquisition of an 80% interest in the Northparkes Copper-Gold Mine (“Northparkes”) from CMOC Group Limited (“CMOC”) (the “Transaction”) for total cash consideration of up to US$475 million comprised of an upfront cash consideration of US$400m and contingent consideration of up to US$75 million. Funds raised via the SPP will be used to assist with integration costs related to the Transaction and general working capital.

Participation in the SPP

To participate in the SPP, you may apply for shares in the amount of A$2,500, A$5,000, A$10,000, A$15,000, A$20,000, A$25,000 or A$30,000. All new Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with existing Shares.

Participation in the SPP is optional and is open to eligible shareholders who are holders of Shares on the Record Date (7:00pm (Sydney time) on 4 December 2023) with a registered address on the register in Australia or New Zealand. Certain eligible shareholders who are custodians holding Shares on behalf of certain beneficiaries are also invited to participate in the SPP on the terms and conditions set out in the SPP Booklet.

Further details are set out in the SPP Terms and Conditions contained in the SPP Booklet previously made available to eligible shareholders, and also available on Evolution’s website at the following link: https://evolutionmining.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/2657412-Notification-of-Share-Purchase-PlanOpening.pdf or by accessing Evolution’s SPP website: https://events.miraqle.com/evn-offer
