Genesis Minerals Limited

22 September 2021

Genesis Minerals Limited ( Company ) (ASX: GMD) is pleased to announce a planned strategic funding and Board restructure aimed at delivering extensive financial and management strength to grow Genesis into a mid-tier Australian gold company.

The proposal is led by highly regarded gold mining executive Raleigh Finlayson, formerly Managing Director of Saracen Mineral Holdings (ASX: SAR) and Northern Star Resources (ASX: NST).

Under the proposal, which is subject to shareholder approval, Genesis will raise $16 million via a share Placement at 6c a share. Mr Finlayson will subscribe for $7 million of shares in the Placement and Northern Star will subscribe for $3 million of shares. The remainder of the Placement will be offered to existing and new institutional and sophisticated investors, including current and proposed Directors.

Existing Genesis shareholders will have the opportunity to participate in a 1-for-30 non renounceable Entitlement Offer at 6c per share. Placement shares will qualify for the Entitlement Offer. Shares acquired via the Placement and the Entitlement Offer will come with a free one-for-two attaching twoyear unlisted option exercisable at 10c. Placement options will not be able to be exercised to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

Based on Genesis’ closing price at 21 September 2021, the issue price for the Equity Raising represents a 17.8% discount to the last traded price of Genesis shares, and a 20.0% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average price of Genesis shares.

Mr Finlayson will be appointed Managing Director of Genesis by no later than 31 March 2022. Mr Finlayson has the right (subject to shareholder approval), upon appointment as Managing Director, to be issued 30 million performance rights under the Genesis Incentive Performance Rights Plan, which will have vesting hurdles tied to a 2.5Moz JORC Resource, a 1.0Moz JORC Reserve and Genesis becoming a gold producer ( Performance Rights ).

Former FMG Managing Director and CEO Neville Power and highly experienced corporate lawyer Michael Bowen will be invited to join the Board as Non-Executive Directors following conclusion of the Placement. Each will be issued with 15m options at an exercise price of 10.5c with a four-year expiry ( Director Options ). Tommy McKeith will continue as Non-Executive Chairman and Gerry Kaczmarek will continue as Non-Executive Director.

Under the transition plan, Michael Fowler will remain Genesis Managing Director until Mr Finlayson's appointment becomes effective. At that time, Mr Fowler will retire from the Board. Current NonExecutive Director Craig Bradshaw will retire from the Genesis Board at the upcoming Genesis AGM.

Genesis’ largest shareholder, Alkane has advised Genesis that it strongly supports the strategic investment and Board changes. Non-Executive Director and Alkane representative Nic Earner will retire from the Board at the upcoming Genesis AGM, assuming all necessary shareholder approvals for the Placement and Board restructure are obtained. Alkane has also agreed to subscribe for any shortfall under the Entitlement Offer subject to scale back to ensure Alkane’s voting power in Genesis does not exceed 20%. The key terms of that agreement are set out in Annexure 4. In addition, the 2019 Subscription Agreement between Alkane and Genesis, under which Alkane was provided with Board representation and certain other rights, will be terminated with effect from completion of the Entitlement Offer. Genesis would like to thank Alkane for its strong support as a shareholder over the past two years and Mr Earner for his contribution at a Board level.

Shareholder approvals for the Placement, Alkane Subscription, Consultant Options, Performance Rights, Board appointments and Director Options will be sought at the forthcoming AGM.

Genesis Chairman Tommy McKeith said the proposal was an outstanding opportunity for Genesis shareholders.

“Raleigh is a highly successful gold miner with an exceptional track record of creating value for shareholders, growing Saracen from a junior explorer and developer into a $6 billion company at the time of its merger with Northern Star,” Mr McKeith said.

“With Raleigh working alongside Neville, whose vast experience and achievements are widely acknowledged across the Australian business spectrum, and Michael, who is one of Perth’s most highly regarded corporate lawyers, Genesis will have an enviable team in the Boardroom. The combination of their experience and the funding package will position Genesis to maximise the - ” opportunities at the Ulysses project as well as consider value enhancing strategic acquisitions.

Equity Raising

The equity raising will be structured as follows:

  1. A Placement to raise $16 million at $0.06 by the issue of approximately 266,666,667 new shares, subject to shareholder approval; and

  2. A 1 for 30 Entitlement Offer to raise up to approximately $4.8 million at $0.06 by the issue of approximately 80 million new shares,

(together, the Equity Raising ).

Subscribers in the Equity Raising will receive one (1) free attaching option for every two (2) shares subscribed under the Equity Raising. Each option will have an exercise price of $0.10, have a twoyear expiry and be unlisted.

Mr Finlayson (or his nominee) is subscribing for $7 million of shares in the Placement pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, the key terms of which are outlined in Annexure 3. Northern Star Resources Limited has committed to subscribing for $3 million of shares in the Placement. Proposed directors Neville Power and Michael Bowen (or their nominees) are subscribing for $1,000,000 and $600,000 respectively under the Placement. Current Non-Executive Chairman Mr McKeith is subscribing for $225,000 of the Placement. The participation of all current and proposed directors of Genesis in the Placement is subject to Genesis shareholder approval at the AGM.

The issue price for the Equity Raising of $0.06 per share represents:

  • A 17.8% discount to the last traded price of Genesis shares; and

  • A 20.0% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average market price of Genesis shares.

Non-renounceable Entitlement Offer

Only shareholders with a registered address in Australia and New Zealand will be eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer (Eligible Shareholders).

The Entitlement Offer will be made to Eligible shareholders registered at 5:00pm (Perth time) on the record date ( Record Date ), currently expected to be around 26 November 2021, following completion of the Placement (see “Indicative Timetable” below).

Assuming no existing options are exercised before the Record Date, and given participants in the Placement will have the right to participate in the Entitlement Offer only for their Placement shares, up to approximately 80 million new shares will be issued under the Entitlement Offer. As noted above, options issued under the Placement will not be able to be exercised prior to the Record Date for the Entitlement Offer to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

The Entitlement Offer will be non-renounceable, so no rights can be traded on the ASX and the rights are not otherwise transferable. New shares will rank equally with Genesis’ existing shares.

The Entitlement Offer will be made by way of a transaction specific prospectus pursuant to section 713 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Prospectus ). As noted above, Alkane has agreed to subscribe for any shortfall under the Entitlement Offer (see Annexure 4 for further details).

Key terms of Mr Finlayson’s consulting agreement are set out in Annexure 2, and the proposed terms of Mr Finlayson’s appointment as Managing Director are set out in Annexure 1.

Key terms of Mr Power and Mr Bowen’s appointments are set out in Annexure 1.

Mr McKeith will remain as Non-Executive Chairman. Gerry Kaczmarek will remain a Non-Executive Director.

Non-Executive Directors Nic Earner and Craig Bradshaw will retire from the Company at the upcoming AGM, subject to shareholder approval for the Placement and Board appointments.

The Feasibility Study was previously targeted to be completed in the September quarter of 2021.
