ASX Announcement (ASX: HMX)

12 September 2017

Allotment and Issue of Securities

Further to the announcement released on 6 September 2017, Hammer Metals Limited (Hammer) (ASX: HMX), wishes to confirm the allotment and issue of 35,500,000 ordinary shares to sophisticated investors at $0.035 to raise $1,242,500 (before costs).

The placement is made pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under listing rules 7.1 and 7.1A as follows:

• 15,794,033 ordinary shares pursuant to listing rule 7.1

• 19,705,967 ordinary shares pursuant to listing rule 7.1A

7.1A DISCLOSURE

The following 7.1A disclosure is in respect of the issue of 19,705,967 ordinary fully paid shares, issued within the Company’s 7.1A placement capacity pursuant to the share placement announced to the ASX on 6 September 2017.

The Company provides the following information in accordance with Listing Rule 3.10.5A:

(a) Details of the dilution to the existing holders of ordinary securities caused by the issue.

Number of shares held by existing shareholders before the 198,559,674 Placement Number of Shares on issue after the Placement 234,059,674 (Issued pursuant to LR 7.1A) % dilutionary effect of Placement on existing shareholders before the 9.92% Placement

• (b) Where the equity securities are issued for cash consideration, a statement of the reasons why the eligible entity issued the equity securities as a placement under rule 7.1A and not as (or in addition to) a pro rata issue or other type of issue in which existing ordinary security holders would have been eligible to participate.

As announced on 6 September the Company is undertaking a Non-renounceable entitlement issue, however in the first instance it was the Company’s view that a pro rata issue would not deliver the necessary capital in the required timeframe and in addition it was considered that the level of support likely to be received from existing shareholders would not be sufficient.

(c) Details of any underwriting arrangement, including any fees payable to the underwriter.

No underwriting arrangements or underwriting fees are payable.

(d) Any other fees or costs incurred in connection with the issue.

Reimbursable expenses and fees payable to non-related parties in respect of the arrangement of the share placement – approximately 5% of gross placement funds where applicable.
