On 22 February 2021, KGL Resources Limited ( KGL or the Company ) announced a 1 for 13 non-renounceable entitlement issue for ordinary KGL shares ( New Shares ) at an offer price of $0.42 to raise approximately $11.77 million ( Entitlement Offer ).
The Entitlement Offer closed at 5.00pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, 16 March 2021 raising a total of $9,574,137 before costs, representing a total subscription of approximately 81.3%, an excellent result considering the Company elected not to have a top-up facility as part of the Entitlement Offer.
The Executive Chairman of KGL, Mr Denis Wood, thanked shareholders for their ongoing support of the Company,
“Infill and step-out drilling has recommenced at Jervois and following the success of this raising, we will add a second rig in April to explore the key greenfield targets,” Mr Wood said.
“The Feasibility Study is well underway as well as financing discussions. It is our ambition to commence development in the second half of this year subject to the final investment decision.”
KGL received valid applications under the Entitlement Offer for approximately 22,795,564 New Shares, representing approximately 81.3% of the 28,024,573 New Shares offered to shareholders.
The applications included participation by KGL’s major shareholders, KMP Investments Pte Ltd and Denis Wood (on behalf of his controlled entities) for their full entitlements, in line with previously announced commitments.
KGL reserves the right, subject to the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and the relevant law, to place the remaining shortfall within three (3) months of the closing date at a price not less than the issue price of $0.42.
