DETAILS OF THE SPP AND KEY INFORMATION:
You should read this section in conjunction with the attached Terms and Conditions.
1. What is the share purchase plan or SPP?
The SPP is an opportunity for Eligible Shareholders to purchase additional shares in the Company without incurring brokerage, commission, or other transaction costs.
Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for up to $30,000 worth of New Shares in parcels of $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, $20,000, $25,000 or $30,000, and must be for a minimum of $5,000 and a maximum of $30,000. Applications may be scaled back at the absolute discretion of Gateway.
2. How much is Gateway raising under the SPP?
Gateway is looking to raise up to $2,000,000 under the SPP.
At Gateway’s absolute discretion, it may issue more or less New Shares under the SPP. However, Gateway will not issue New Shares to an applicant, either alone or in conjunction with the issue of other New Shares under the SPP, if doing so would contravene any law or the ASX Listing Rules.
Funds raised under the SPP will be allocated in the same manner as the Company’s July Placement which was announced on 14 July 2020. The proceeds of the July Placement, SPP (and any Shortfall) will underpin the next phase of upcoming exploration at the Company’s flagship Gidgee Project in Western Australia as part of the Company’s strategy to expand on its maiden Mineral Resource estimates and accelerate exploration across the project. Key upcoming exploration activities will include:
-
Systematic reverse circulation and diamond drill testing of the prospective north-western contact zone of the Montague Granodiorite;
-
Systematic air-core drill testing of other regional targets to test the broader potential of the Montague Granodiorite contact;
-
Systematic drill testing of prospective shallow gold targets identified from surface geochemical sampling; and
-
Continued investment in quality datasets to allow for continued understanding and targeting of the Montague Gold System.
The proceeds will also be used for corporate and general working capital purposes.
3. Do I have to participate in the SPP?
No, participation in the SPP is entirely voluntary. Gateway recommends you seek independent financial advice from your stockbroker, accountant or other professional adviser, prior to deciding whether to take part in the SPP.
==> picture [127 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
If you do not wish to participate in the SPP, do nothing.
4. What is the Issue Price of the New Shares?
The Issue Price of the New Shares will be $0.016 per New Share, which is the same issue price as the July Placement, and is at a discount to the five day VWAP of Gateway Shares prior to the Record Date on 13 July 2020, being the last trading day immediately prior to the announcement date of the SPP Offer, the closing price of the Shares traded on ASX was $0.019. There is a risk that the market price of Shares may rise or fall between the date of this Booklet and the time of issue of New Shares under the SPP. This means that the price you pay for the New Shares issued to you (or their value) may be less than or more than the market price of Shares at the date of this booklet or the time of issue.
By applying to purchase New Shares under the SPP, you will agree to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. Your application is unconditional and may not be withdrawn even if the market price of Shares is less than the Issue Price.
5. Who is eligible to participate in the SPP?
Holders of Shares that are registered with an Australian or New Zealand address at the Record Date are eligible shareholders ( Eligible Shareholders ) and may participate in the SPP, unless such registered shareholder holds Shares on behalf of another person who resides outside of Australia or New Zealand. Due to foreign securities laws, it is not practical for shareholders (or beneficial shareholders) resident in other countries to be offered the opportunity to participate in the SPP.
Participation in the SPP is optional and subject to the Terms and Conditions within this Booklet. Offers made under the SPP are non-renounceable (i.e Eligible Shareholders may not transfer their rights to any Shares offered under the SPP). Eligible Shareholders who wish to take up New Shares issued under the SPP agree to be bound by the Company’s constitution in respect of New Shares issued under the SPP.
An offer may, at the discretion of the directors of the Company ( Directors ), be made under the SPP once a year. The maximum amount which any shareholder may subscribe for in any consecutive 12-month period is $30,000. The Directors may also determine in their discretion the minimum amount for participation, the multiple of Shares to be offered under the SPP and the period the offer is available to Eligible Shareholders.
The SPP Offer is also being extended to Eligible Shareholders who are Custodians, to participate in the SPP on behalf of Participating Beneficiaries on the Terms and Conditions provided in this booklet.
5
6. Can my offer under the SPP be transferred to a third party?
- No. An Eligible Shareholder cannot transfer its offer under the SPP.
7. How much can I invest under the SPP?
Eligible Shareholders may apply for New Shares in parcels of $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, $20,000, $25,000 or $30,000. You may only apply for one of these parcels.
