SUMMARY
Globe Metals & Mining ("Globe" or "the Company"; ASX:GBE) is pleased to announce that:
-
- Globe will raise a total of approximately A\$1.6 million from the issue of Convertible Notes at a premium to the current share price to Apollo Metals Investment Co Limited ("Apollo"); and
-
- Globe will further offer eligible shareholders a nonrenounceable rights issue offer at A\$0.045 share price, to raise a further A\$9.9 million.
Highlights
- Globe to raise \$11.5 million
- Positions Globe for a bank balance of about A\$24m
- New strategic investor to underwrite capital funding
- The funding consists of;
- a) a placement of Convertible Notes for A\$1.6m at A\$0.055
- b) a non-renounceable rights issue for A\$9.9m at A\$0.045
- c) Apollo Metals Investment Co., Ltd. ("Apollo") to fully underwrite the rights issue
- d) Shareholder approval to be sought at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the issue of the shortfall of the rights issue to Apollo as underwriter of the rights issue
- Apollo to become a strategic shareholder
- Apollo's support to underpin Globes future growth plans


Globe Metals and Mining will raise A\$11.5 million (before fund raising costs) by the combination of a convertible note placement and an underwritten rights issue. These funds will enable Globe to actively progress development and growth plans.
Managing Director and CEO, Mr Alistair Stephens, said
"In a time where the capital markets for junior mining companies like Globe is extremely difficult, we are fortunate to have the support of Apollo to assist the Companies financial future"
"The structure of this funding arrangement is designed firstly to care for the existing interests of Shareholders through the rights issue process. Shareholders will then have the right to vote at the annual general meeting for Apollo to take up the shortfall of shares as underwriter of the rights issue"
"These monies, plus the strong support of Apollo, will underpin the progress of our exploration and development projects. This will place the Company in a strong position to progress feasibility studies and assess growth opportunities"
Details of the Fundraising
The Company's fundraising comprises of:
-
- an issue of 29,050,800 Convertible Notes at an issue price of \$0.055 raising a total of A\$1,597,794; and
-
- a fully underwritten, non-renounceable pro-rata rights issue to eligible shareholders at an issue price of \$0.045 per share, raising a total of A\$9,915,261.
The fundraising from the issue of the convertible note is expected to be complete by 12 September 2013.
The fundraising from the rights issue is expected to be complete by mid to late November 2013.
Convertible Notes
The Convertible Notes will be issued to Apollo Metals Investment Co. Limited. The Notes will be issued at an issue price of \$0.055 with a Notes maturity date of 30 June 2014 and an interest payment of 7.5% per annum to the Notes Holder. Interest on the Notes accrues every 3 months, but is only payable if the Notes do not convert into Ordinary Shares. The Notes may be converted into Ordinary Shares by the Notes Holder at a ratio of 1 Note to 1 Ordinary Share, in accordance with the terms of issue for the Notes. The Notes can be converted or redeemed by the Notes Holder at any time after the meeting of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. However, the conversion of those Notes after the issue of the shortfall shares to the Note Holder as underwriter, will only occur if Shareholder approval is obtained at a meeting of Shareholders if Apollo was to have a shareholding greater than 19.9% as a result of subscribing for the shortfall shares as underwriter.
The Notes are issued within the Company's existing 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholder Rights Issue
A Shareholder Rights Issue offer of 1 new share for 1 existing share, at an issue price of \$0.045 per share has been agreed by the Board of Globe and supported by Apollo. Based on the total number of shares as at the date of this announcement, 220,339,131 new shares will be offered under the Rights Issue. The issue price of \$0.045 represents a discount of 10 % to Globe's 30 day VWAP (ending 30 August 2013). The offer will be made without prospectus disclosure by way of a Rights Issue Offer Document sent to eligible Shareholders, being Shareholders who are registered on the record date for the rights issue. Full details of the offer and all terms and conditions will be detailed in that Rights Issue Offer Document.
The rights issue offer is fully underwritten by Apollo Metals Investment Co. Ltd. An underwriting fee is payable by the company to Apollo equal to 6% (inclusive of GST) on the subscription monies for the shortfall shares subscribed for by the underwriter under the Rights Issue.
The rights issue offer is non-renounceable; therefore eligible shareholders will not be able to sell their entitlements under the rights issue.
The terms of issue of the Convertible Notes does not give the Notes Holder the right to participate in the rights issue.
Shareholder Approval for Transaction
The issue of the shortfall shares to the underwriter under the Rights Issue will be subject to Shareholder approval at the annual general meeting of Shareholders to be held in November 2013. The Shareholder approval will seek permission to allow Apollo to convert all of the 29,050,800 convertible notes into shares if Apollo's shareholding in the Company, after completion of the underwriting, is 20% or higher as a result of subscribing for the shortfall shares as underwriter under the Rights Issue. Globe has engaged an independent expert to assess whether the issue of shares to Apollo under this transaction is fair and reasonable.
A Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Memorandum and Proxy Form will be dispatched to Shareholders in October. The Explanatory Memorandum will contain detailed information to Shareholders explaining the transaction and will be accompanied by the Independent Experts Report. The timing of the rights issue fundraising and Shareholder vote will be coincident with the Annual General Meeting should there be no unusual delays to the process.
Managing Director and CEO, Mr Alistair Stephens, said in relation to shareholder approval being sought:
"Apollo is very commercial and cooperative in ensuring that all Shareholders are treated fairly and reasonably. Apollo fully supports Shareholder participation in the rights issue and is prepared for Shareholders to vote on Apollo's participation as a major Shareholder. It demonstrates to current Shareholders their intent to respect Shareholder rights and cooperate in the Companies development"

Conversion of Notes into Shares if Shareholder Approval is obtained
Under the terms of issue for the Notes, if Shareholders approve the transaction the Notes will automatically convert from Notes into ordinary shares, after the Shareholders meeting.
If Shareholders do not approve the transaction, then the shortfall shares will not be issued to the underwriter and the Company may issue a supplementary Rights Issue Offer Document to eligible Shareholders advising them that the rights issue is no longer underwritten by Apollo and advising them of their rights and choices in this situation.
Apollo as a strategic and supporting shareholder of the company
If Shareholder approval is obtained, the implementation of the transaction will see Apollo become a strong strategic supporter and shareholder of the Company, with an interest in the Company's total share capital ranging from about 6% to 53%, depending on the level of shareholder participation in the rights issue.
Under the terms of the placement agreement, Apollo has the right to appoint one Director to the Board of Globe. This right to appoint a Director ceases if the Convertible Notes are not converted into Ordinary Shares before the Notes maturity date of 30 June 2014, or if the Notes are redeemed prior to the Notes maturity date of 30 June 2014.
Board Recommendation
The current Board of Globe will recommend that Shareholders approve the transaction and provide a sound financial platform for the Company's future. The Notes Holder's nominee director intends not to make a recommendation to shareholders given his appointment as a Director at the request of the Notes Holder.
Timetable for transaction
The following transaction is expected to apply to the transaction:

which is not set out in this notice; and
- (e) information set out below in this notice illustrates:
- i. the potential effect the issue of Shares will have on the control of the Company; and
- ii. the consequences of that effect.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE
The following table shows the number of Shares on issue at the date of this notice and the total number of Shares on issue as at the close of the Rights Issue based on the maximum total Shares to be issued under the Rights Issue (assuming no existing options are exercised).
| Ordinary Shares | Number |
|---|---|
| Shares on issue as at the date of this notice | 220,339,131 |
| Maximum number of shares to be issues under the Rights Issue | 220,339,131 |
| Total Shares on issue as at the close of the Rights Issue | 440,678,262 |
The Company has 11,750,000 unquoted options on issue. These options may be exercised prior to the Record Date in order for the option holders to participate in the Rights Issue. If the options are exercised, the number of Shares issued under the Rights Issue will increase accordingly.
The Company also has 3,000,000 Class B performance shares on issue which carry no entitlement to participate in the Rights Issue as the vesting conditions for those securities will not be satisfied before the Record Date.
In addition to the above securities, the Company has agreed to issue 29,050,800 convertible notes at an issue price of \$0.055 to Apollo under the Company's 15% placement capacity under the ASX Listing Rules. The convertible notes may be converted into Shares at a ratio of 1 note to 1 Share in accordance with their terms of issue.
The issue of Shares to Apollo as underwriter of the Rights Issue will be subject to Shareholder approval at a meeting of Shareholders to be held in November 2013. If Shareholder approval is received, the convertible notes will automatically convert into 29,050,800 Shares on the tenth Business Day after the rights issue closes and the shortfall shares are issued to Apollo as underwriter. The Shareholder approval sought will seek permission to allow Apollo to convert all of the 29,050,800 convertible notes into shares if Apollo's shareholding in the Company, after completion of the underwriting, is 20% or higher as a result of subscribing for the shortfall shares as underwriter under the Rights Issue.

UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT
On 5 September 2013 the Company and the Underwriter entered into an underwriting agreement whereby the Underwriter has agreed to underwrite any shortfall Shares under the Rights Issue (Underwriting Agreement).
The Company must pay the Underwriter an underwriting fee calculable from 6% of the total subscription amount for the shortfall Shares under the Rights Issue multiplied by the issue price of \$0.045 (inclusive of GST). The Company must reimburse all expenses incurred by the Underwriter in connection with the Rights Issue to a maximum of A\$10,000, with the Underwriter being required to obtain the Company's prior approval for expenses above that maximum.
The Underwriter has the absolute discretion to terminate the Underwriting Agreement if any of the following events occur:
- (a) the Company ceases to be admitted to the official list of ASX;
- (b) ASX makes any official statement to any person or indicates to the Company or the Underwriter that official quotation of the Rights Issue Shares will not be granted;
- (c) ASIC makes a determination under section 708AA(3) of the Corporations Act with respect to the Company;
- (d) a Court makes an order under sections 1324A or 1324B of the Corporations Act in relation to the Rights Issue;
- (e) the Company withdraws the Rights Issue;
- (f) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in Australia, the United States of America or the United Kingdom is declared by the relevant central banking authority in any of those countries or trading in all securities quoted or listed on ASX, the London Stock Exchange and/or the New York Stock Exchange is suspended in a material respect for 2 or more consecutive trading days, the effect of which is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter materially more difficult to promote the Rights Issue or to enforce contracts to issue and allot the Rights Issue Shares;
- (g) any director of the Company is charged with an indictable offence, or is disqualified from managing a corporation, or commits an act of fraud in connection with any aspect of the Rights Issue or the Company;
- (h) the Company fails to give the Underwriter a closing certificate or if the closing certificate contains a statement that is not true.
The Underwriter may terminate the Underwriting Agreement if any of the following events, in the opinion of the Underwriter, has, or is likely to have, a material adverse effect on the marketing success of the Rights Issue, renders it impracticable to effect acceptances under the Rights Issue, or leads, or is likely to lead, to a liability for the Underwriter under any law:
(a) public and other media statements made by or on behalf of the Company in relation to the affairs of the Company or the Rights Issue contains a statement that is misleading or deceptive or likely to mislead or deceive, omits material required to be contained in them, or constitutes conduct by any person which is misleading or deceptive or likely to mislead or deceive;

- (b) hostilities not presently existing commence (whether war has been declared or not) or a major escalation in existing hostilities occurs (whether war has been declared or not) involving any one or more of Australia, New Zealand, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, any member state of the European Union, Japan, Indonesia, North Korea, South Korea or the People's Republic of China or the declaration by any of these countries of a national emergency or war or a major terrorist act is perpetrated involving any of those countries or any diplomatic, military, commercial or political establishment of any of those countries elsewhere in the world;
- (c) there is introduced or there is a public announcement of a proposal to introduce, into the Parliament of Australia or any State of Australia a new law, or the Reserve Bank of Australia, or any Commonwealth or State authority, adopts or announces a proposal to adopt a new policy (other than a law or policy which has been announced before the date of the Underwriting Agreement), any of which does or is likely to prohibit or regulate the Rights Issue, capital issues or security markets;
- (d) a default by the Company in the performance of any of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement occurs;
- (e) a representation or warranty contained in the Underwriting Agreement on the part of the Company is not true or correct; or
- (f) any material adverse change occurs in the assets, liabilities, financial position or performance, profits, losses or prospects of the Company.
POTENTIAL EFFECTS ON CONTROL
If eligible shareholders take up all of their entitlements under the Rights Issue, then the Rights Issue will have no effect on the control of the Company. If some eligible shareholders do not take up all of their entitlement under the Rights Issue, then the interests of those eligible shareholders will be diluted. The proportional interests of shareholders not entitled to participate in the Rights Issue will be diluted because such shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Rights Issue.
An analysis of the effect of the Rights Issue on the Underwriter's interest in the Company is set out below. The information below assumes: (a) no options on issue will be exercised before the Record Date; (b) that shareholder approval is obtained for the issue of Shares to Apollo as underwriter of the Rights Issue; (c) conversion of the 29,050,800 notes from notes to 29,050,800 Shares.
| Scenario | Underwriter's % |
|---|---|
| Holding prior to the Rights Issue | 0% |
| 100% of Shareholders take up their entitlement | 6.2% |
| 50% of Shareholders take up their entitlement | 29.6% |
| 25% of Shareholders take up their entitlement | 41.3% |
| 0% of Shareholders take up their entitlement. | 53.1% |

Appendix 3B – Annexure 1
Calculation of placement capacity under rule 7.1 and rule 7.1A for eligible entities
Introduced 01/08/12 Amended 04/03/13
Part 1
| Rule 7.1 – | Issues exceeding 15% of capital |
|---|---|
| Step 1: Calculate "A", the base figure from which the placement capacity is calculated |
|
| Insert number of fully paid +ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the +issue date or date of agreement to issue |
|
| Add the following: | |
| Number of fully paid +ordinary securities • issued in that 12 month period under an exception in rule 7.2 |
|
| Number of fully paid +ordinary securities • issued in that 12 month period with shareholder approval |
|
| Number of partly paid +ordinary • securities that became fully paid in that 12 month period |
|
| Note: • Include only ordinary securities here – other classes of equity securities cannot be added • Include here (if applicable) the securities the subject of the Appendix 3B to which this form is annexed • It may be useful to set out issues of securities on different dates as separate line items |
|
| Subtract the number of fully paid +ordinary securities cancelled during that 12 month period |
|
| "A" |
+ See chapter 19 for defined terms.
| Step 2: Calculate 15% of "A" | ||
|---|---|---|
| "B" | 0.15 | |
| [Note: this value cannot be changed] | ||
| Multiply "A" by 0.15 | ||
| Step 3: Calculate "C", the amount of placement capacity under rule 7.1 that has already been used |
||
| Insert number of +equity securities issued or agreed to be issued in that 12 month period not counting those issued: |
||
| • Under an exception in rule 7.2 |
||
| • Under rule 7.1A |
||
| • With security holder approval under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4 |
||

||
| "C" | ||
| Step 4: Subtract "C" from ["A" x "B"] to calculate remaining placement capacity under rule 7.1 |
||
| "A" x 0.15 | ||
| Note: number must be same as shown in Step 2 |
||
| Subtract "C" | ||
| Note: number must be same as shown in Step 3 |
||
| Total ["A" x 0.15] – "C" | ||
| [Note: this is the remaining placement capacity under rule 7.1] |
+ See chapter 19 for defined terms.
Part 2
| Additional placement capacity for eligible entities |
|---|
| Step 1: Calculate "A", the base figure from which the placement |
| 0.10 |
| Note: this value cannot be changed |
| Step 3: Calculate "E", the amount of placement capacity under rule |
+ See chapter 19 for defined terms.
| Step 4: Subtract "E" from ["A" x "D"] to calculate remaining placement capacity under rule 7.1A |
|
|---|---|
| "A" x 0.10 | |
| Note: number must be same as shown in Step 2 |
|
| Subtract "E" | |
| Note: number must be same as shown in Step 3 |
|
| Total ["A" x 0.10] – "E" | |
| Note: this is the remaining placement capacity under rule 7.1A |
