Dear shareholder
PRO-RATA TRADITIONAL NON-RENOUNCEABLE ENTITLEMENT OFFER – NOTIFICATION TO INELIGIBLE SHAREHOLDERS
On Wednesday, 26 April 2023, KGL Resources Limited (ACN 082 658 080) (ASX: KGL) ( Company ) announced that it was conducting a 10 for 27 pro-rata traditional non-renounceable entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( New Shares ) at an offer price of $0.12 per New Share to raise up to approximately $20.2 million ( Offer ).
In November 2022, the Company completed and released a robust and financially viable feasibility study. The Offer will fund the activities following on from the feasibility study, being the project development and ongoing expansion of the resource. In particular, the proceeds of the Offer will be applied principally to advance the Jervois Copper Project and to grow the high-grade resource. The proceeds of the Offer will also add to working capital to strengthen the Company's balance sheet as it moves along the development pathway for the Jervois Copper Project. The Offer is not underwritten, and is subject to a minimum raise condition of $9 million. Funding in excess of the minimum raise will primarily be used to continue exploration activities with the possibility of adding a third drilling rig to accelerate growing the high-grade resource, and as additional project working capital for project readiness.

Ltd., which has an interest in the Company of approximately 26.13%, entities associated with Denis Wood, which have a joint interest in the Company of approximately 9.24%, and Marshall Plenty Investments, LLC, which has an interest in the Company of approximately 7.27%, have committed to take up their respective entitlements under the Offer in full.[1]

Eligibility criteria
Shareholders who are eligible to participate in the Offer ( Eligible Shareholders ) are those persons who:
-
(a) are registered as a holder of Shares as at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date;
-
(b) as at the Record Date, have a registered address on the Company's share register that is in Australia or New Zealand, or are a shareholder of the Company that the Company has otherwise determined is eligible to participate;
-
(c) are not in the United States and are not a person (including a nominee or custodian) acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (to the extent such person holds Shares for the account or benefit of such person in the United States); and
-
(d) are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Offer.
The Company has determined, pursuant to section 9A(3) of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(a), and having regard to a range of factors, that it would be unreasonable on this occasion to make offers to shareholders under the Offer in all countries outside Australia or New Zealand. This is due to the legal and regulatory requirements in countries other than Australia or New Zealand and the potential costs to the Company of complying with these requirements, compared with the relatively small number of shareholders in those countries, the relatively small number of Shares they hold and the relatively low value of New Shares for which those shareholders would otherwise be entitled to subscribe.
Unfortunately, according to our records, you do not satisfy the eligibility criteria for an Eligible Shareholder as stated above. Accordingly, in compliance with section 9A(3) of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(b), the Company wishes to advise you that it will not be extending the Offer to you and you will not be able to subscribe for New Shares under the Offer. You will not be sent the documents relating to the Offer or be able to subscribe for New Shares under the Offer.
As the Offer is non-renounceable, entitlements in respect of any New Shares that would have been offered to you if you were an Eligible Shareholder will lapse and you will not receive any payment or value for those entitlements. Entitlements are not tradeable on ASX or otherwise transferrable. If you have any questions in relation to any of the above matters, please contact the Company's share registry, Link Market Services Limited, on 1300 730 659 (within Australia) or +61 1300 730 659 (outside Australia) from 8.30am to 5.30pm (Sydney time), Monday to Friday. For other questions, you should consult your broker, solicitor, accountant, financial adviser or other professional adviser.
On behalf of the Company, we regret that you are not eligible to participate in the Offer and thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely
