Dear Shareholder
Pro-Rata Non-Renounceable Rights Issue
On 27 March 2012 Genesis Resources Limited ( Genesis or the Company ) announced that it would undertake a fully underwritten pro-rata non-renounceable rights issue ( Offer ) to holders of ordinary shares ( Shares ) in the Company ( Shareholders ) with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand ( Eligible Shareholders ) as at 7:00pm (Melbourne time) on Thursday 5 April 2012 ( Record Date ).
The Company has prepared an Offer Information Statement for the Offer. The Offer Information Statement was lodged with the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) on Wednesday 28 March 2012 and a copy is available on the ASX website and the Company’s website at www.genesisresourcesltd.com.au.
The Offer Information Statement will be despatched to Eligible Shareholders in Australia and New Zealand on Thursday 12 April 2012.
Treatment of ineligible shareholders
The Company has determined that it would be unreasonable to extend the Offer to any shareholder with a registered address outside Australia or New Zealand, having regard to:
-
the small number of shareholders with addresses in such other countries;
-
the number and value of the shares they hold; and
-
the cost to the Company of complying with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in such other countries.
Accordingly, Eligible Shareholders are those shareholders who:
-
will be on the Company’s register of shareholders as at the Record Date; and
-
have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand.
Details of the Offer
Pursuant to the Offer, the Company will issue 26,540,376 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ( New Shares ) at an issue price of 4.5 cents each, to raise approximately $1.19 million (before costs). The issue price represents a discount of approximately 36% to the closing price of 7 cents for Shares last traded on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) on 22 March 2012.
