Takeover Offer for Kula Gold Goes Unconditional and Extension to Offer Closing Date

7.5(c) of the Bidder’s Statement, Forrestania now intends to work with Kula to procure that the Kula Board be reconstituted with a board structure and directors appropriate for a subsidiary of Forrestania. The Kula Board will comprise a majority Forrestania directors, provided that a minimum of two of the existing Kula Board members remain as required by the Bid Implementation Agreement.

Directors of both Forrestania and Kula continue to unanimously recommend that remaining Kula shareholders accept the Offer to participate in the benefits associated with Forrestania’s gold strategy which includes an ambition to progress towards gold production in calendar year 2026 post the Company’s proposed acquisition of the Lake Johnston processing facility in the Forrestania region of Western Australia.

Forrestania Resources’ Chairman, David Geraghty, commented:

“Declaring the Offer unconditional is an important milestone for Forrestania and reflects the strong level of support received from Kula shareholders to date. The Offer becoming unconditional allows us to move forward with greater certainty and alignment in advancing the combined asset portfolio and implementing our gold strategy.

Forrestania Resources will shortly hold a majority of the Kula Board positions and we remain steadfastly focussed on becoming a gold producer in 2026 following the proposed acquisition of the Lake Johnston processing facility.”

Offer Update

The Offer remains open. Kula shareholders who wish to accept should do so in accordance with the instructions contained in the Bidder’s Statement to ensure receipt of consideration within the applicable timeframes.

Kula shareholders that do not accept the Offer will become minority shareholders in Kula subject to the risks and uncertainties of being a minority shareholder in Kula without exposure to the benefits of Forrestania’s consolidation strategy.

For enquiries regarding the Offer, Kula shareholders should contact Automic on 1300 824 174 or email [email protected].
