Robe Australia Limited ( Robe ) is pleased to announce a non-renounceable rights issue of fully paid ordinary shares to existing shareholders at a price of 0.5 cents per new share, on the basis of 2 new shares with an attaching 1:1 free option exercisable at 1 cent on or before 31 December 2014 for every 3 shares held ( Rights Issue ).

Rights Issue

The Rights Issue comprises an offer to existing shareholders of 2 new shares with an attaching 1:1 free option exercisable at 1 cent on or before 31 December 2014 for every 3 shares held as at the Record Date. Under the Rights Issue, Robe will issue approximately 182,419,135 new ordinary shares to raise approximately $912,096 before expenses. The new shares issued will rank equally with existing ordinary shares in Robe. Robe will also issue approximately 182,419,135 new options. The new options will rank equally with existing options.

As Robe is not currently carrying on any business, funds raised from this Rights Issue will be used to enable Robe to undertake a number of due diligence programs with a view to identifying appropriate investment opportunities and to supplement the working capital reserves of Robe.

This is essentially the finalisation of the first stage of Robe’s restructure as it moves to indentify and assess an appropriate investment for the company following the recent completion of two placements.
